Are going to be considerably more boring now (from a sports sense) without the NBA then NBA playoffs.
I love the Red Sox, but they're the ONLY team I will watch a game of in the MLB. Does anyone here actually watch Sunday Night Baseball between say, the Cardinals vs the Brewers? Who gives a ****?
I love watching close NBA games and the NBA playoffs are great, something to watch every-night for weeks. The Heat were great for the NBA, a really fun team to root against.
The owners are the morons who chose to pay these guys these salaries.
I think the NBA is going to learn the same very hard lesson the NHL learned 7 years ago: They could skip an entire season and virutally no one would care.As long as the Celtics retain their cap advantage over most of the NBA teams in the summer of 2012, no.
2011-12 is a throwaway season where the big 3 would simply linger for one more go around.
Sorry they just need to blow the whole thing up. The salary cap is horrendous, the image is terrible and reffing is a huge turnoff to me. That sport is in desperate need of change.
The reffing especially. After the 2002 Kings Lakers series I've never watched a game besides Boston. It was clear the refs purposely extended the series for tv ratings and money. They wanted the bigger tv market of LA over Sacramento and in the process screwed the fans. Even now that hasn't changed. A sport in need of some kind of parity.
The problem with NBA basketball is they don't have the game of basketball front and center. Stern was a good commisioner for a lot of years but imo it is time for a new one (10 years ago) with a fresh set of ideas.
