    The NBA is abandoning ship and cutting ties with the old school fans who gave a fuck about hard nosed basketball and inviting the pussified Euro soccer fan to carry the league forward.

    Wait till the players come out with their long sleeve jerseys covered in T-mobile adds next year.

    This is why the NFL draft had higher ratings than all the playoff games combined.

    I'm fucking jaded to this shit and I love basketball. I can't imagine where the casual fan of yesteryear has gone.

    The NFL is going pretty soft too. The draft has higher ratings because people are retarded, especially sports fans. I can't disagree about the NBA going soft though.
    Agree. I get so pissed when I see flags thrown on plays the league was founded on. The simple reality of split second reactions going wrong should not be penalized in such game changing fashion. I'm all for protecting the players but it's getting shameful out there.

    The next time the League sees a Safety blow up his own CB on accident in a bang bang play, I hope they take a minute to think about how malicious the intent was, and maybe just throw a fucking flag just because.

    Rulebook truthers are the worst, pretty obvious that there was a foul and then Jackson booted the ball in a separate motion.

    They can call it the Pat Tillman Memorial Penalty.

    I actually didn't have a problem with that call. It was such an obvious foul that giving the ball away would have been wrong. It wasn't a ticky tack foul like Draymond Green's on Chris Paul in the first round, Barnes nailed Jackson on the wrist. It's the 3 point bailout foul on Paul that was bullshit. That shouldn't be called at any time, but especially at the end of the game. Enough with the fouls on threes. A shooter kicks his legs out or initiates the contact and gets the call. These are NBA shooters. The defender needs to be able to challenge the shot.

    That is some fucked up shit DNC, but that kind of insight and progressive thinking is why I choose to spend my 10.95/mo here.

    Zach Randolph suspension and the phantom 3-pt foul. We're running out of wrapping paper.

    I love this comment just comes out and says it like it is.

    I'm still pissed about the Randolph Dajuan Blair suspension

    It appears judging by twitter that the nation is outraged. This has legs.

    It's so sad how predictably corrupt the NBA always is. Like NBA homers(APAG) mock us for saying that but it's always true.

    I still remember in 1993 the NBA wanted a Barkley-Jordan finals so in game 7 against Seattle they shot 63 fucking free throws. 63!!!

    I gave up on the NBA in 1993. I think I remember the Utah Jazz getting raped multiple times by the officials in the 90s too.
    Huh?

    Another fixed game that the refs let come down to a single shot.
    No one said it was fixed, just that Utah got raped. Looks like you should learn the difference.
