The Official NBA 2014-2015 Thread: Simp City

They’re saying stanchion of the hoop was 2’2" closer than an NBA one

7th? With a healthy ROse and the team we got we could arguably end up being the number 1 seed in the East again. Rose has lead the Bulls to #1 seed with a worst team he’ll have this season.

PG will be back I have no doubt. This is a big setback but he’s a great athlete and will have the best treatment in the world.

Weinhurst or whatever his name is saying that the basket is closer than normal NBA baskets by a foot or 2 feet. That’s crazy if true because you would think they would check shit like that.

holy shit…I was watching Breaking Bad re runs with my folks…I missed the whole shit…I was gonna catch the re run on NBA TV in the morning…I guess that wont be happening now…

Sportscenter acting like he died.

OH SHIT!!! I just saw the vid and that was GRUSOME. I hope PG gets better and that he will be able to play in 2016; but, damn… That leg is BROKE worse than Hammer’s bank account. In fact, it looks like the same area where Anderson Silva’s leg was broken last year. Damn, that’s freaky. One thing’s for sure: The Pacers are cooked for 2015.

Well if it’s the same break as Silva then honestly that’d be REALLY lucky for him. A clean break won’t need nearly as much recovery time as…well any other way that injury could’ve played out. He’ll be out a year plus but at least there would be light at the end of the tunnel.

As long as the break is clean he’ll still have a career. If it’s not he might be in trouble. If it’s a compound, god forbid, his career is absolutely done.

I was referencing 7 as Chip #7, the “from the East” part was added cuz this unfortunate injury + Cleveland needing help + LOLMiami gives Chicago the best possible chance to make it to the Finals… from the East.

The West is still the Google Fiber of current NBA lore however

EDIT: I hate typing on the phone. Also, INB4 RAPTORS IN 4 :coffee:

Lance Stevenson is somewhere like… “WHEW!”

Yeah PG is done for the year, but lucky it wasn’t the same shit Livingston and that South Carolina RB suffered.

Silva was cleared to spar 6 months after his fracture. Livingston missed like a season and a half and Lattimore hasn’t played a game in 2 years.

I can see it already

haha really though

Yeah, the real shit that’s going to come from all of this is the potential backlash that the NBA teams might have.

I mean, the Pacers now have the season torched before it even started and US Pro Teams are notoriously uneasy as it is when it comes to letting their players do International play.

Look at the difference from the base

^ For whatever reason, like maybe the rectangle’d off graphics on the court

The camera men look too close in the regular NBA, or playoffs there, bottom pic.

It would look janky like an arena football league, if taken extreme measures, but those cameras have ridiculous zoom. A player’s commissioner would push everyone back, get those guys on chairs or something. The worst look would be cushions, but then that’s more ad revenue to be plastered with logos. A raised platform, permanent kinda stanchion?

All the improvements over the years to the hoop, to account for the Shaq’s and Choc Thunders of the world, and Rodman kicking camera dudes - people tied up and can’t get back down the court, accounted to nothing so far.

It’s 2 inches closer than standard NBA stanchions.

Another year, another serious top-talent injury. Pretty crappy decade for the NBA. If this keeps up, players are gonna start getting endorsements from suit designers. Hope he recovers.

So stupid that’s it not all universal.

No way PG tweeted this or he could just be on a shitload of painkillers
