[Jokerman]

[gnofg]

10. no

No one cares. It is to bad. I watched Ball from 1964 on. I saw everyone of those B&W highlights they now show live. I saw Havlicek's steal. I used to love pro basketball. Lakers against the Celtics in the eighties. Fast Break vs. Half court. Who could impose their game on the other. Now it is like watching paint dry. I did enjoy the Pistons last year. They played good solid Bball. I have other friends who are my age and they feel the same way. Too much dribbling and ball hogging(Iverson, Bryant) Radical thought- 3point line ruined the game

11. "The NBA. At Least We're Still Playing."

How's that for a snazzy new slogan? :-)

[terrya]

12. I never did.

What's the big deal? :shrug:

[LeftyMom]

13. my whole family

We're all Kings fans, except my uncle who likes the Lakers. I have no idea what my aunt sees in him. ;)

"That Peja guy is handsome. Has your sister met him yet?" -my late Grandmother, while watching basketball with LK and I last year, when she was 91.

14. NBA sucks!

The only player worth paying to see is Iverson but a lot of people can't stand him.
This league could be in trouble soon. I would not pay to see anything but the finals and maybe just the final...final.

15. I used to like it more.

Back decades ago, I could spend $10 or $15 and sit in a good seat. And watch a guy 5'8" (Calvin Murphy) rain in 30 points per game.

Now, it's $40 for a bad seat.

I hate the switching defenses that coaches use.

Also, I think it would be a more interesting game if extra-tall geeks didn't have such an advantage.

If there was a rule that each team could only have X-number of vertical inches on the floor at a given time, then height would become less of a factor, and athleticism and other factors would be more important.

Sure, it's mildly entertaining to see a guy 7'6" galoompf down the court. But, only mildly.
