2013-2014 NBA Season

[KenFSU]

I love baseball. I love it's history, it's records, it's stadiums, all of the different analytics, and it's general wackiness (managers who wear uniforms, grossly out of shape 40 year olds still starting, double-headers, a 500 game regular season, random start times when the entire city is at work, catchers wrapping their legs around pitchers and straddling them after no-hitters, the third base coach and his dramatic windmill and the general existence of the first base coach, the lazy pick-off throw, six hour games, the bench clearing "brawls" where everyone runs out and rubs up against the other team, stirrup socks, intentional walks, etc).

That said, I find it nearly impossible to watch.

I'm a Cubs fan, so my team is usually out of contention by week two anyway.

duvaldude, did you watch last year's finals between the Heat and the Spurs? I found a lot of generally non-basketball fans enjoyed it. It was a great series.

[Keith-N-Jax]

It was a great series and so was the one between the Heat and the Pacers.

[thelakelander]

Yep. No matter what Jesus Shuttlesworth does this year, that game 6 three against the Spurs made his entire 2 year contract worth it.

[Keith-N-Jax]

Most certainly, game over if he doesn't hit that shot. I had gone to bed   only to be surprised the next day.

[Keith-N-Jax]

THE NBA, guess they dont play defense anymore. I wish the Heat would cool off on these turn=overs.

[thelakelander]

Yeah. I'm just ready for the playoffs to start. We'll know pretty soon if these guys are capable of "turning on switches" once the games mean something.

[Keith-N-Jax]

Ah so whats going on in Miami tonight? Will the Heat let the Pacers back in this game?

[thelakelander]

Evidently not. I didn't see the game though. I was at One Spark.

[funwithteeth]

No joke: I don't think the Pacers will be getting past the Bobcats in the first round. They'd be better off drawing the kinda streaky Wizards instead.

[Keith-N-Jax]

They almost let them back in, well anyway this is setting up for an interesting playoffs.

Holy crap!!! If the LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling isn't a racist, I don't know what the word is. This is 2014 right? Wow..

Donald Sterling being a racist sack of shit isn't news, but it's always nice to have a fresh reminder.

Compendium of just how truly fucking awful Donald Sterling is

The man is scum.

Anyway, I am enjoying the playoffs. I was hoping the Bulls would get swept, but they pulled it out last night. I think the Heat lose tonight b/c of sloppy play and turn-overs.
