Yeah, there wasn't really any money in writing for Hoopsworld. Just essentially a free pass into games. Fun but not at all profitable.
Repped! This is how I feel too. The NBA itself is a joke and a horrible product... but, if my Blazers are in... I wont miss a game. Once they are out, I avoid the NBA.
Amen brother. OKC not winning it is priority #1. After that I am pulling for SA, Indiana, then Miami. I will say having a team in there that I despise does help hold my interest once the Blazers go out.
I visited Blazersedge tonight to see their take on the LMA trade talk. The "roundtable" was stupid to me, but the user comments were almost all pro-LMA. I'm beginning to think that S2 is the last refuge for anti-LMA fans who gets shunned/banned from other sites.
I will say that I saw nobody on BE who mentioned the likelihood of LMA re-signing in Cleveland, which is a negative for that community. At least here, the dumber trade ideas are typically shouted down with a heavy dose of reality.
OK, I have yet to see any post this stupid on S2. Perhaps I was enamored with their hard to read comment format for a bit. I did manage to find this gem. Does Lillard/Matthews/Corey Brewer/Jeff Green/Embiid even win 25 games?
Wow PapaG... hahaha. That's fantastic. And, really? Embiid would automatically start over Rolo? And all of a sudden Mo/Cj/Will, Wright is our NOT BAD next 5? Considering 4 out of those 5 made up one of the worst benches. LOL. Good find, PapaG. Repped!
I am a fan of the NCAA more than the NBA. It is much more competitive and there are more teams involved. When the Blazers are on I usually watch, but I have learned over the years, not to expect to much from them. They are after all, the Blazers.
Fuck LeBron, and the Heat! Hopefully Pacers win out and Spurs win out. =) I can't stomach Durant winning any finals ever....... honk twice!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm with NateBishop. There are teams I care about (Blazers, obviously, but a few others) and none are still playing. I'm watching the playoffs kind of the way I watch NFL, if there's nothing else to do I'll watch for a bit or use as background when doing something boring like washing a shitpile of dirty dishes. I'd like the Pacers to win it, a small market team with no superstars and an unglamorous city, but I don't think they will. Just glad to see the sucky irrelevance of the Lakers!
If ncaa would just set shot clock to 24-28 second id probably never watch nba again except for blazers. Of course I only watch blazers now. Since blazers were eliminated ive gained 6 pounds eating out of boredom. I blacked out the windows of my bedroom and only leave to go to work.
How is this possible? Did you not grow up with basketball as a part of your life? Sent from my baller ass iPhone 5S...... FAMS!
The NBA is not what basketball is to me. I grew up with the Blazers in my life, that's why I love them. When I want my basketball fix, I play basketball.
