Anyone been watching these lately? I've been getting sick of all these intelligent topics. Sorta curious as to how high the interest level is on these boards. I'll open the discussion with this - Your team will LOSE to the Dallas Mavericks, it is inevitable. Posts: 455 | Registered: Tuesday, May 17 2005 07:00 |

I like to think that I have a very strong stance on the NBA playoffs. My stance is thus: Why do the playoffs have to interrupt MLB games? Seriously, I'm getting sick of being beaten to my dorm's TV by NBA fans. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead.

quote:No, why does the MLB have to be on and monopolize sportscenter? Once you've seen one MLB highlight reel, you've seen them all. Although I will agree that the NBA playoffs are stretched out over an obscene amount of time. I love the NBA playoffs. Best basketball around (e ven if the NCAA tournament is a much better format, the basketball is just plain better at the pro level). Wizards all the way, baby! (Until they lose.)

The problem that I have with the NBA is that there are no real "teams" anymore. The prevailing strategy is to hand the pro the ball and he will score. There's little full team interaction anymore. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

I thought the NBA had folded. Seriously, do they still play that game? That's sad. :P -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

I occasionally watch tennis, but I couldn't tell you who's good, who's bad, or even who's playing. That's the extent of my attention paid to sports at any level. —Alorael, who would watch Calvinball games if he could find a channel that had them.

Star power can only carry your team so far. When you look at the recent champions you see complete teams, the Spurs and the Pistons. Both play hard defense and get good ball movement (two things that require a team effort.) My team, the Heat, seems to be trying to splice the two together. Everyone on the roster has a heap of talent, but it doesn't seem to be working out as well as last year, which was a team starring Wade, and complimented by role-players. Edit - (In case it wasn't obvious, this would be replying to the comments that basketball on a pro level isn't as much a team effort. Also I'll throw in that I enjoy the NBA, but will take the NFL any day.) [ Wednesday, May 03, 2006 14:54: Message edited by: Lazarus. ] -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind.

The Bandon Bandits Calvinball team is pretty decent, but I've never known one of their games to make it past the first inning. -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

I've been keeping rather close track of the MLB this year, but not the NBA. If I had a few good TV channels, that might be different, though. Obviously the Blazers are unlikely to go anywhere. -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Professional sports teams really are just parasites on society, if you think about it. That they actually get communities to shell out millions of dollars to build stadiums for them to make money in is pretty galling, in my opinion. But as Tiberius said, "panem et circenses..." (I for one have been happy about the upswing in relatively thoughtful conversations.) Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

Watching Baseball on TV just about puts me to sleep. Although, I like watching NASCAR... go figure. And *i, tell me who the superstar on the Detroit Pistons is, the team that had the best record in the entire league. Posts: 455 | Registered: Tuesday, May 17 2005 07:00 |

The Wizards/Bullets are my favorite team, but my local team, the Nets, are looking better right now. I'd say college basketball is much more fun to watch than the NBA. Players actually play defense, the games actually mean something, and so much heart and grit is on display. Plus, you see more systems. Four-guard sets and ridiculous zones and presses are not unusual anymore, whereas in the NBA only a handful of coaches would dare to play a zone. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

I can't imagine an organized league for playing Calvinball. Once when I was young I had the idea to try to play a game like this, with no rules, and complete insanity. The result was rampant cheating and thoroughly unenjoyable. It would work great if I had an imaginary friend that wasn't so uppity and headstrong. (For some reason it hadn't occurred to me what Alorael was alluding to until I read your post Ephesos.) -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot?
