    It looks good, its a huge change and will take a little time to get used to. I like how the scores are setup, and how you can setup favorites.
    the old site used to piss me off because of the drop down menus.

    I looked at the source code to the site and they have a/b testing logic in there. It's possible that some people will see the old design and other the new. a being the new, b being the old.

    Not liking it. Feel free to post other sites you like better. Checked out si and fox and they blow equally as much.

    ...I really dislike the extra click(s) that it takes to get to a damn NBA box score!

    I like the box scores and the NBA score page better on my desktop but do not like having to scroll for stories on the main page. On my phone, I absolutely hate everything.

    Oh god - it's a terrible redesign! It wasn't that great to begin with, but now it's just horrible.

    It's horrible. Bring back the old design.

    I think they did a great job with the redesign. Instead of making it look and feel like a mobile site no matter what device you're on (like SI and many other sites are doing), they actually made a good functioning site that, while busy, isn't cluttered.

    ...don't get me wrong, I like the actual box scores and the layout -- but off the top bar when clicking a game there is no way to go instantly to the box score -- instead, if the game is in progress the Gamecast will open and if the game is over it will take you to the recap page first before you can click box score -- so annoying!

    The old site layout was old-ass shit from 2002. This is much nicer.

    I don't like it!! I like to make copies of the standings. Impossible to do with the new design.

    It won't let me click the menu options in my phone. I can't get to the standings without typing it out myself. I've actually gone back to NBA.com now.
