    That's a false narrative and not real.

    All of the above and I also enjoy watching certain basketball programs with what they have to offer from the coaching staff to the talent. It's all about the moving parts and how the coaches and players are able to take advantage of situations wherever they can.

    It doesn't get much better than NCAA right now.

    Villanova, Lousiville, and Virginia are fantastic programs and play enjoyable basketball.

    March madness is a lot of fun no doubt, this years was great because of the amount of upsets.

    Game #1 was entertaining. Games 2-4 not so much

    I referee them. It's probably the purest level of basketball.

    Now what was said....but certainly used to being misquoted. No worries. We all enjoy different things for different reasons. I enjoy basketball but don't enjoy no drama in the Finals. In the regular season, if my team is getting blown out but I get to see the young kids play and watch them develop....that is of interest.

    A 4-0 Finals when it felt like that (or 4-1) would be the outcome for the entire season just don't hold much interest. Different Strokes....

    You said people who are watching the finals must have no much else going on. Don’t play coy you know what you were implying.
    I know everyone knew what was going to happen in the NBA this year a couple years ago. Durant who was a legit MVP joined a team people were already talking about as one of the best teams ever.
    I came to the conclusion I was just going to have to deal with the fact there’s not much drama in the NBA anymore, and I’m going to know how it plays out.

    @TorturedBlazerFan ....Not coy. Between work, board meetings, buying a house, a trip to LA, a couple of volunteer associations, 2 trips to the coast and a friend being in the hospital, I haven't had a lot time in the last week and a half to prioritize watching a predictable NBA series that was a foregone conclusion in my mind.

    Perhaps "not much else going on" was poorly worded but know what I meant.

    Fair enough, I just took that as the ol, "well if you are watching this you must not have anything else to do", type of comment, when I have a lot going on and I always manage to get my phone turned on to a game, or if I'm near a TV at a hotel, I'll watch it. I spent a couple days in the hospital with my 2 year old this week and still managed to watch the game.

    This is why people don’t trust the analytic stuff... Draymond has a higher score than KD and Steph...

    That rebound off the backboard from his own shot and resulting stuff by LeBron might have been the most awesome shot I've ever seen. Didn't that happen in game three?

    Nope, Dame .9 sending the rockettes home my favorite shot ever. I could watch it over and over.
    At least that’s my opinion.

    That was the most satisfying but LeBron's was the most awesome shot not counting the resulting outcome.
