The NBA Disscussion Thread

[Drift Illusion]

I'm a huge NBA addict, and I absolutely love the Detroit Pistons. So I made a thread all about disscussing your favorite teams, players, whos hot, whos not and that kind of thing. All ballers out there, express the fan in you.

Ever since 2001, the NBA = failed.

NBA is nice, i dun have a favorite team, like the spurs and suns. knicks here in NYC suck. i think it'll be a good season

The NBA, not my favorite sport but its still great fun. Last season my parents bought half a season's tickets to the Milwaukee Bucks and I went to a few games. I dig the Bulls though, growing up in the Chicago area in the 90s, how could I not? I am disappointed that they aren't doing better but whatever. They got Gordon, Wallace, Hinrich, how could they not improve?

Sorry brosph, Jordan retired a while ago after a couple of less than stellar comebacks, but he now owns the Bobcats I believe so he's got that going on.

I'm don't watch the NBA a lot but I do play basketball so I love the sport. My fav team is the 76ers and my fav player is Allen Iverson. I also like LeBron James and Paul Pierce. Great players.

I'm a huge Mavericks fan. The texas teams all look really good this year, except for the first four games for the mavs. But they're on a 6 game winning streak now so things are looking up.

selling out on a team just because they are struggling simply shows how disloyal you are

Took the words right out of my mouth. Once the Knicks decided to suck, and the infamous NBA rivalries boiled-over, it's just become pitiful.

I still remember those Knicks vs. Heat and Chicago Bulls' glory days.

Right, I was actually referring to when they legalized the zone defence, making every game into a pass-happy, boring, and defensive grind.

The league's best dunkers became the players who were athletic enough to break a zone, instead of the artists who could work his moves to get open for a finese dunk.

The value of a good offensive centre was completely removed, as any front-court player who had the ball in the low post became the victim of punishing double teams. This gave players who depended on working their post-moves to get off a shot (think Olajuwon) completely useless.

The value of a good jumpshop was replaced by fast running and good passing.

Terrible...

What do you guys think about them Pistons? They are rising back up without the help of Ben Wallace.
