Default The NBA

The Spurs are an answer for people who say they don't like the style of basketball in NBA (all 1-on-1, flashy, egos, no defense, etc)

They play hard, different guys lead the team in scoring, role players, NCAA-style underdog players (Neal/Green)

However, I don't enjoy watching the Spurs...or college basketball either for that matter.

Basketball is a brutal sport to watch on TV. It's hard to imagine anything possibly being worse to watch. Second rate soap operas maybe?

I don't know what it is ... but watching men play basketball on TV is only preferred if I'm at Guantanamo Bay...and the other option is waterboarding.

Golf is a close second in the brutality department.

And watching it with your father doesn't help.

"This Merion course is the toughest I ever played. I was 16 and playing incredible. I went to Marion for the State Jr Championship and shot an 87! AN 87! And the course wasn't even close to being as tough as they have it for this. The tees weren't back as far. The rough wasn't as bad. I love it. I love watching these guys suffer! If this course was a Speed Figure, it would be a huge slow variant day. This course is set up where the Breeders Cup Sprint would go 1:11 and change."

Even after that brutality, watching this NBA game is not at all enjoyable.

I like watching the golf tourney for all of the "Babbooey" shouts. Otherwise it is miserable TV. The NBA is awful.

Got to admit, this basketball game tonight has been pretty entertaining. At least the second half of it, anyway.

Yeah that was OK. Just the best game of any sport so far in 2013. Only thing even close is that Ravens/Broncos playoff game. I'm not a huge NBA guy but just get all the way TFOH if you can't appreciate what we saw Tuesday night.
