I'm a hockey and soccer fan and will watch pretty much any game that I can in those two sports.

I'm a Patriots, Celtics and Red Sox fan. I could care less about games if my teams aren't playing.

But to me the NBA is moving towards wrestling territory. It's an athletic event, but not much of a sport. The star treatment makes a lot of games a joke. Guys like LeBron are talented enough. They don't need the coddling they get from the refs.

Players get calls because their talent does lead to getting the benefit of the doubt. Always has. always will, your Celts of the 80's are a great example. Though when it came down to it the whistles stopped going their way when they finally ran into teams that were of a higher pedigree. Great as Bird, DJ, McHale, Parrish etc were Magic, Big Game James and Kareem were just a little bit better. But in the end both teams at their peaks were playing the game on a completely different level compared to their peers. And this finals match up reminds me a lot of that, but much like those great Lakers-Celtics battles it really helps that these are the teams who not only have the best talent but who also have the most charismatic personalities of their time.


In legitimate contests of skill chicanery only occurs when gambling becomes part of the equation, see Tim Donaghy, or see the college point shaving scandals that have surfaced over the years. Unlike the blue collar ballet or as I like to call it "Masterneck Theatre" a loss of legitimacy would lead to the ruin of the game, again see Donaghy. Rasslin on the other hand is based upon who can do the best job of getting themselves over as personalities as opposed to ability.

The NBA's issue is that the game suffers from a lack of parity, But is that gerrymandering or is it just these two teams have built a better mouse trap, I lean towards the following.

Boy, did I ever blow my chance. Looking more like one and done.

Though all things considered it could be worse, at least you have drawn in essence a bot opponent, so at least you will have the benefit of advance knowledge

In regards to that I am flabbergasted that the Blasters did not secure their spot opposite the wave, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc_oLZuFwaI


In the other 5-7 battle Yeet should be playing their swan song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaG2Acg8n60


In the six hole I think we have a battle which could and should extend into next week https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JJAXwAaA2w


I guess the Clogs are going full on George and Weezy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xvd3eAi_7tc

But who is going to join them.

Could it be the peaks, or perhaps the young Lions? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HFakjigeFc


Or how about the Generals or Nasties?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHRNSeuvzlM




Is this finally the season of Deronimo??? Or is it time for Hydro to flower??? Perhaps the dogs will have their day??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmuswTEGF-U

With the mistakes I made this season, I deserve a season in IV. Maybe that will let me sort out the direction I really want the team to go in the future.

I'll just say wow...

I guess the Clogs are going full on George and Weezy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xvd3eAi_7tc)

I almost went from George and Weezy to Fred Sanford: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK9HXu9g5qA)

It's a good thing I wasn't watching live.
