You reminded me why I ignore your stupid asses, and it didn't even cost me 10 cent

I was contemplating C's ML. Didn't pull the trigger, avoided an agonizing defeat

I used to follow the NBA religiously and did quite well wagering it

Stopped a few years ago as the game changed and became even more unpredictable

Regarding sports, practicing load management so that excludes the NBA other than rejoicing every Laker loss.

The NBA isn't sweating you ignoring them. It's like an ant telling an elephant I'm ignoring you. Lol. So futile and childish.

It's genetics. Not too bright. It's genetics. It's genetics.

Don't worry about the NBA...The beat goes on....as usual.

Just the fact that you mentioned it means you lost a wager on it. Can you be anymore obvious about it?

Threads like these are a dime a dozen from bitter gamblers bitching yet saying...oh but I didn't bet it. Riiiight. Lol.

It's genetics.


Calm down already. Aren't you a little old to be pulling this low brow nonsense? Lol. Really.

Cue the the petty, weird stalkers and ghosts coming to defend their snakey snake...

These are some of the best atheletes on the planet. If you can't enjoy it, and be grateful you can witness it, then don't be so obvious in your jealousy and loss on a wager.

Cluttering the forum with idiotic threads like this is unbecoming of an adult.

Then again it's the internet. Go nuts.

Pot, Meet Kettle.

Kettle, this is Pot. We call him that because he smokes WAAAYY too much of it....
and then comes on here with high school stuff like this.

Which is why EVERYBODY ignores him. He ain't Everybody's Senile Grandpa....
he's That Retard Brother that embarrasses the shit out of you.

So you never go ANYWHERE with him. If you could, you'd lock him in the closet
and never let him out.

Same here. I barely even check the box scores any more.

I watched a couple games on YouTube, from the 80's and 90's these younger kids really getting the shit end of the stick with this new NBA.

Players never sat out games for rest, seemed to play really hard.

They shoot better today, more athletic players, aside from no Air Jordan or Magic..it's way better now. The kids are getting a fine product especially playoffs.

I have multiple reasons why it was better in the 90's

The League Had Real Centers

There Was Less Crying About Fouls

The League Allowed Hard Fouls, Instead of Calling Flagrants at Every Chance

The Lost Art of the Mid-Range Game

The Rivalries Were More Intense

Coaches Were Legends, Today They’re Suits

No advantage gained or lost, no foul

Vs fouls called based on some technicality created in conference room

Now advantages (or disadvantages) are created by the officials

The biggest differences in all of sports is making new rules and making the officials a bigger part of every game. People don't pay to watch the refs determine games

Superstar treatment, home team treatment, just make the officials dress like cheerleaders

I've seen Giannis pick up his dribble, take two long steps and just plow into a wall of defenders. Lose his balance, shuffle his feet, then take two more steps before he makes a layup and then gets awarded with a free throw

Simply unrecognizable

Jeff Van Gundy will laugh and ask "what was that"? Hubie Brown will say "good call by the officials"

I change the channel

These guys with "the great handle" travel and carry the ball on ball after play. Couple that with the rules preventing any defense and you have an unwatchable product with the inmates in control. Silver didn't learn a thing from David Stern.

Boom ! you nailed it on the lost art of the mid range.

Imagine if LeBron had played with his back to the basket in half court sets

even Jordan posted up and was unstoppable in half court sets with his back to the basket.

just on the Knicks, Trent Tucker would be a starter and Bernard King would be on the bench if he would
even have a place at all in the NBA today
