They probably play better defense in the NBA than in college.

I used to believe that teams in the NBA played no defense until I started actually watching and got to see a few games in person. The league is just set up in a different manner as to promote scoring ( defensive three seconds, no charge zone, longer games) that it appears based on score that the guys aren't playing any defense.

Even tho they lose alot..... Watching the Golden State Warriors is ENTERTAINING. Stephen Curry is great

My attitude towards the NBA and NHL are sorta like how girls are about football and baseball. "Oh yeah did they win? That's great! Go Nuggets!" The problem I have with NBA games is the same as with NASCAR races...nothing happens until the very end that's of importance. Maybe it's due to the shot clock or because of the talent level.

college basketball is exactly the same.

Listen. The entire reason people don't like the NBA in this area is they don't have a good team to root for. That's it.

The only reason you guys don't like the NBA is that there's no local team to root for. The games are a lot of fun to go to in person. It's entertaining to watch the best players in the world go head to head. I'm originally from OK and nobody gave two shits about the NBA in OK until the Hornets, then Thunder came to town. Now everyone likes the Thunder, and follows the league a little more than they used to. If KC had a team, you guys would start following and liking the NBA.

no defense I can't stand to watch it.

This is one of the most obnoxious and uninformed takes on the NBA.

NBA playoffs are amazing. I wish I had a local team to that would get me more invested in the season. I've thought about getting in a fantasy league, just to give me more of a rooting interest.

The rule of thumb in Denver is to not even consider tuning in until sometime in the 3rd quarter. The game tonight is exempt from this rule. Go Nuggs!

I'm like this with the NBA and NFL. Never really had a team to root for, but really want one (esp for NFL). Thought about "adopting" the Skins and Wizards when I moved to DC, but then decided "eff that. I already root for too many shitty teams."

NBA related, but not really thread related. What would Miami have to do to be playing around the April 22nd -26th time frame? advance to second round? Heading to Florida that weekend, wouldn't mind catching a Heat game.

Thinking bout going to a Nuggets playoff game. Then, Casa Bonita! That be a helluva weekend.

Actually kinda enjoyed this game last night.... Loved the trashing of Paul Pierce in the article too.

Pierce once hosted Richardson as a recruit at the University of Kansas. Neither player has fully explained what the problem is, but this much is clear: Richardson has always seemed to be more irritated about the situation – and, as a result, has done most of the talking.

pretty unimpressed with the cavs tonight. bailed out by hitting tough jump shots. think they'll get the series against the bulls but will not make it far in the playoffs.
also, watching the nuggets-jazz game now, great offensive game

dmartin · « **Reply #46 on:** April 20, 2010, 08:06:14 AM »

Trying to get Heat playoff tickets as we speak for Friday night. Should have bought them when they came out last friday, but of course I dicked around and now i'm getting screwed because of it. had some ready to buy, but 35 bucks a piece in service fees killed that idea (for 4 tickets).
