Re: NBA Finals

yeah ginobili is making a stand on why is he is most underrated superstar. but this finals is going to kill the NBA, such a boring uninspired series. tim duncan is killing the league, i cant even watch the whole game.

NBA finals should have been Suns/Heat and maybe the NBA could have regained some footing. the whole league is dying

Re: NBA Finals

yeah go spurs!!

Parker started off good to really keep them in the beginning of the game

and also Duncan is a class act....

[asdf_admin]

I am going for D-town. I love the Wallaces. Should be good either way.

Re: NBA Finals

I wish Miami made it to the finals....I like Wade alot

Re: NBA Finals

Wade

he was something. a very dynamic player. also really fun to watch. i just do not like Shaq, and like watching him get second place or third, or fourth. lol.

give me a fucking break. how can you say the best team in basketball is killing the nba? its ashame that nowadays to think that people need flash and not skill to stand out and make things exciting. only people that don't appreciate the game in its true sense think that superstars have to be flashy and thuggish like alan iverson and company. i'm sure if tim duncan was questioned for murder or for beating his fucking wife and kid, that'd restore some momentum in the league, eh? or at least make him a superstar? maybe i'm just old-school where i think you should show what you got out on the court and be humble about how much ass you kick.

Yeah Wade reminds me of Jordan when he takes it strong to the hoop!
Seems like Wade is a class act too....

I like watchin Shaq beat up on people sometimes
but since the idiot can't shoot free throws, I lose respect for the lazy sob

Re: NBA Finals

duncan isn't a big marketing product, but he plays better than anyone.

the spurs made it to the 4th quarter thanks to him... he scored 24 points and 17 rebounds...

then gino killed the pistons :P

Basketball = Netball for boys IMO.

Re: NBA Finals

oh garrick i was just saying how the spurs and pistons arent exciting to watch and that hurts the NBA in terms of marketing. it is proven that thier revenues have dropped since Jordan left. and they are continuing the decline. the sport itself is hurting in the public eyes. the Suns and Heat would have gotten a lot more people excited to watch and enjoy. even you have to admit, the suns are a team that leaves you wide eyed with thier play. shame thier all around best player missed the conference finals. johnson would have helped them a lot more if he didnt break his face.

duncan is plainly the best player around. so fundamentally sound and consistent. but boring. very boring. its too slow a style of play. a big sign of this was that the "And One" on ESPN had better ratings than 70% of the NBA playoffs. offense is what gets you the viewers. but defense wins.

Re: NBA Finals

got to disagree...

offense makes regular people watch the games.

basketball fans appreciates the real game, team play, tough defense, solid offense imho.

I couldn't agree more. If you ask anyone who would you rather watch Magic and the old Lakers or the today's Pistons, I bet you 8 out of 10 willsay the Lakers and their high powered offense.

[Garrick]

sightless - i do agree that the suns are exciting to watch. i found it even more exciting to watch them get raped by the spurs.

i know you have a point, its just annoying that everyone thinks they are boring when clearly they have such a solid team. they just don't make mistakes, which i guess makes them boring. just like nobody likes seeing the yankees win over and over gain, maybe nobody likes seeing the spurs win so much. (i know the yankees thing was a low blow )

Re: NBA Finals

complete agreement, but the basketball fan demographic is shrinking rapidly outside of inner city areas. even they admit it. they are trying to gain a larger fan base to avoid what happened to hockey, lone gone are the days of bird/ magic, jordan vs the world, ewing/miller, all the old school guys who were just amazing to watch. now its just watching parker dump it to the post and letting duncan pull a turnaround jumper. its just not exciting.

steve nash and amare are going to re-invigorate the sport. amare is only 22, joe johnson is 23, Q is like 26-27, marion is 27, they have a great core. gonna be exciting to watch this team grow.

the hardcore fans are gonna be there, but they need to go out and get a larger fan base.

just look at the scores. 60-70 point games are slow, 120 points a night is something to marvel at.
