Is the NBA even worth watching anymore?


Recommended Posts

Personally I could care less if the NBA folded. It wouldn`t hurt my feelings one bit. It has evolved into more of a WWF type of production full of hype and showmanship. This isn`t the same NBA I grew up watching. There are no "teams" anymore. There are only high paid stars. Plus the rules have also evolved. I`d rather see a player bust his butt and make a good defensive effort. Do they even call a charge anymore? Plus there is far too much pushing allowed. Whatever happened to moving your feet and gaining defensive position? I guess that went out with the charge. I live about an houe from the Grizzlies and frankly I could care less to go watch any team play there. College basketball is where it`s at. It by far is better to watch than the NBA.

Agreed. The NBA regular season is like watching an expanded game of horse. I haven't watched since Stockton-Malone closed shop. Wonder why the points-per-game totals drop about 25 points when playoffs start?

The NBA has changed a lot this year, for the better.

    • This late in the year, you’d have to think they’d go with an Asst. on staff, right? I’m pretty new to the area so still learning how folks do things around here…if Woods stays there to teach, it could be hard on a new guy/staff coming in…
    • Well, your Big Western Hunt better turn up some Zebras to come graze on the Stones to make the jungle gametime ready again and make sure the plumber bros. still will come service the facilities at the Mecca. I hope your weekend is Fowl. Tell Rip hello from the Five Oh. Maybe the Gravedigger will catch a ride with Alphaniner on a flyover soon to BNA. 
    • It’s not hearsay, just patently false. As one of those young coaches he apparently “ran off”, coach never once ridiculed or degraded anyone. Sure he challenged kids and coached them very hard,  but we have different definitions of you call that degrading. Coach Hammontree changed my life when he gave me the chance to work for him. I learned more about being a man and caring for the people around me in 4 years working for him than I did in 20 years of my life. No one sacrificed more than he did. I left Heritage because I felt there would never be the support necessary to help the program succeed. I’m tired of hearing people drag others down especially those they truly don’t know. Coach has moved on and a new coach is there. Just let the man live and root for the team. 
    • Waiting on the Great One.   White Horse and Rip have a big weekend in the woods, and the Sheriff is working the overtime here.      Turkey season awaits…..Big Gobblers everywhere.
