    What do you prefer?

    I love the Blazers and I love basketball in general. I'm not much for college ball except March Madness and when March Madness comes around I don't think anything can beat it!

    Blazers.

    March Madness is boring, IMO.

    Is it too late to contest this "mod" status thing...?

    Is it too early to test this 'banning' thing?

    March Madness is my favorite tournament of the year so MM > NBA. I tape the Blazer games and watch them later at night if they conflict with MM games.

    Hardcore Blazers fans tape the game and watch later to watch something else?

    I'v been taping the Blazer games and watching them alter for a month or so now, I love being able to fast forward through Commercials/timeouts and FT's. I see nothing wrong with me or anyone else taping a Blazer game to watch after a MM game, i'm not score watching and usually turn off my phone so I don't see the outcome of the Blazer game before I start watching. When MM happens and isn't that long of an event and you usually only miss 2 maybe 3 Blazer games. Its not like its the playoffs and i'm missing a playoff game, nothing gets in the way of a playoff game.

    When the first week of MM starts the NBA should take a "spring break" week off. Move back ASB to January, gives teams a week off for the major push.

    Its too hard to get into NCAA basketball when you know the players are just going to the NBA next year

    It helps you learn more about the draft though.

    This time of year I'm all about March Madness. I'll watch a tourney game over an average Blazer game, but would probably watch the Blazers if it was a game against a top notch opponent.

    March Madness for me. It is definitely my favorite sports time of the year (next to World Cup and FIFA Champion's League.) There are so many story lines and there is usually at least one team from the NW in it. After the Blazers burn out of the playoffs, I could really care less who wins and who doesn't. I find the NHL playoffs much more interesting.

    NBA is unwatchable. I love my Blazers, and watch every game. However, if they aren't playing, the NBA isn't on.

    College ball all day

    I am almost e4xactly like you, other than MM doenst hit a peak as high for me as you. We get a pool going in the office and I go after it from that pooint on. Plus it helps that Oregon is good, so there is something local to root for (Zags too, but they've been a good team for a while).

    I never watch a game live on TV and I dare anyone to question my fandom, lol.
    Why waste time with commercials?
    I also have to leave the phone alone so I don't get updates and more importantly a few friends who are also fans always text me about plays, I have to remind them to stop sending spoilers. lol
