Just because you're too stupid to understand a sophisticated sport don't rip on those who do. And you and your NBA thread can go f.ck themselves. You're lucky you can still post here let alone start your "own" thread you miserable, lying, bet mooching cheapskate.

Other than Chuck Simon, does anyone over 30 even watch the NBA anymore?

Isn't Little andy is another one of those NBA watching dinosaurs ?
No comparison between the excitement of March Madness and the National Boringbasketball Association. this will be the best tourney ever as there are 20 teams who could win it.

side note. The Heat's streak ends in Boston Monday night. Bet on it.

I'm over 30 and still watch the NBA.

Somebody must be watching considering how much love ESPN gives it. They dont follow any empty wagons...

And anyone who understands or appreciates basketball has a hard time stomaching what passes for NCAA basketball in 2013. I don't watch very often but felt compelled in this final year of the real Big East to watch some games this week and even went to the early session on Wed at the Garden and I have to say that college basketball is pretty brutal. No one can shoot, the big guys have no skills, the refs are horrible and there are so many Division 1 teams that some of the games are like glorified high school games.

But hey if you like bands, bricks and storming the court because you are getting to play another shitty team in Dayton on Tuesday night then NCAA basketball is for you

NBA is great right now. Hockey is a dead sport. Ppl can come here blast me, make it personal. I'm still right. The NBA has about a 10yr window where it can be really amazing. Hockeys just dead.

I think that if you get away from the so called power teams and watch some of the mid major teams play, it's still ok to watch. Those teams aren't decimated by guys leaving early to the NBA and they aren't full of freshman and sophomores auditioning for the NBA. Most of those teams are putting it all out there cause this might be their one moment in the spotlight and a loss might end their season. Trying to watch the top teams is brutal.

I watched some mid major conf championship games and it is the same. No one can shoot, defenders are allowed to maul guys or called for touch fouls, and it basically just isnt very good basketball. What is really appalling is the atrocious foul shooting. FL today was 8-18 from the line. G'Town the other night was something like 5-13. With a 3 point shot we shouldnt have games in the 40's and low 50's.
There really aren't that many 1 and done guys. I think last year there were 8 Freshman who were drafted including Tony Wroten and Marquis Teague who got terrible advise and probably would be lottery picks in the pretty awful upcoming 2013 draft.

Admittedly I didn't watch Austin Rivers much during his 1 year at Duke but have watched a few Hornets games and can't believe how bad he is. So I looked up his numbers at Duke last year and what in the world made anyone think that this guy can play outside of his famous sire? As a shooting guard he shot 36% on 3 pointers in college and 65% from the line. He is shooting 32% (3's) and 55% (ft) and 37% overall this season. He is not a good rebounder, playmaker or defender. I'm sure virtually no one over 30 cares but I suppose any negativity that can be brought up about a Dukie has to interest someone.

I watch at the Pepsi Center, but only at the Pepsi Center. TV and NBA is a horrible combo.

herkhorse · #13 03-18-2013, 03:53 PM

yea well, I was mostly joking.

I like to watch The Knicks on MSG network and then pretend it's an infomercial for Just for Men Gel.

No Play for Mr. Grey

I feel like i have season tickets for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Seems like every game is on NHL network, NBC or NBC sports channel

Agreed. NBC definitely hitched their wagon to that team this year.

In typical Philly fashion, JVR goes elsewhere and explodes! That one hurts bc we never gave him a shot to fully recover here, just shipped him away (although i do like Luke Schenn).

Schenn and Timonen have played well but the rest of the defense is awful. Bryz doesn't come up with the big save often enough and lets in to many bad goals. I'm sorry to say they will not make the playoffs this year. They are going to buy out Bryz this summer and the search for a goalie continues. I would like to see them trade for the Kings Bernier.

caps just played the pens last night. the gushing about crosby gets nauseating. he had an assist on their first goal-i don't think they ever mentioned the actual scorer.
