Vojskovoda Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I searched and couldn't find an NBA thread so I thought I'd make one. My team is the Cavs and I'm pleased with how the season is going so far albeit our away form is a little bit 'off' but if we continue to play this well I see us winning our division hopefully but I reckon either Orlando or Atlanta will finish top of the conference... I've been really impressed with the Hawks especially. Anyways, LOL at the Bulls. Got beat by the Guido's two days ago then got hammered by Atlanta last night... too funny.

Vojskovoda Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Fair enough, your opinion but I can't think of anything more exciting in sport (penalty shootouts probably come close) when the scores are close with only a couple of minutes left to play in the 4th period.

Guest Ricardomeister Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 As an ex pro (basketballer, not whore! :winkold: ) I do think basketball tends to be better to play than to watch but it is still one of my favourite sports to watch. The pace, excitement and, especially, the athleticism is greater than the vast majority of other sports and basketball has produced the greatest, most athletic sportsman that I have ever seen in Michael Jordan. I have always watched the NBA but never adopted a team until 5 or 6 years ago when I adopted the Phoenix Suns as they are the most exciting team to watch with their fast break offence. We have done much better than expected so far considering I think we have only had 7 of 22 games so far at home although I think the Lakers will win the Western Conference and will be favourites to beat the best of the East.

Stevo985 Posted December 10, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2009 I don't mind basketball. it's pretty entertaining and its a lot of fun to play. I do think it's too high scoring though. Just not special enough when someone scores (unless its a winner on the buzzer!) Decent sport, that and NFL are the best of the american sports.

kurtsimonw Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I'm surprised at how many people like the Cavs. Small market team with very little success before the last few seasons.. will be interesting to see how many stick if/when LeBron leaves. :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know until recently that there even was a basketball league in Britain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were even more (a lot more) people who suddenly became Chicago Bulls fans when MJ became a household name in the late '80s. The Bulls were just as irrelevant as the Cavs before Jordan came along; and haven't done much since he's left either. How many of those people do you think follow the Bulls now?

I'll agree with you there. I played the game growing up and still play pick-up after work every Monday night. (There is no better cardio I exercise IMO.) Watching the game, on the other hand, just does not interest me like it used to. Much of that is down to the fact that the Knicks have been a disgrace for the past 7 or 8 years, but I still used to at least get into the playoffs even when the Knicks were not involved. Not any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaEire Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I love basketball. Penny Hardaway is my favourite player of all time. I loved watching that Orlando Magic team in the 90s with Penny and Shaq. I keep an eye on the Knicks results too as I went to see them play at MSG when I was in New York.
