So I was at the gym earlier and the tv's had espn which was showing old basketball clips. The players should definitely go back to wearing the short shorts. If I have to watch basketball I'd at least like to oogle the players.

Anybody out there watchin' this?
CAVS SWEEP! Where you at Chop and the rest of the Ohio crew? The team to beat IMO, and a challenge isn't coming from the east - Bostons' gotta get tired after these series, and they were the best match.
Overall though I think these playoffs have been pretty fuckin' good, lotta physical shit & Boston/Chicago was old school drama.
Fuck the Lakers, it took Yao gettin' hurt for their luck to show.
so my Wiz got screwed in the draft. tanked the season for nothing. they are projected to get Harden by Chad Ford's mock draft and i am loving the articles comparing him to Roy.

did you read that gladwell/sports guy exchange?
they really need to fix the draft and tanking issues and I totally agree with what they proposed...but it will never happen.
I was impressed with the Nuggets last night, should be an excellent series.

yeah, i read it. dont know i like their idea. its good if youre a casual fan, but if my Wiz had absolutely no shot of winning against an all-star team then i would lose interest like i did this year. every small market team would be out of contention.
some teams just have bad luck, but simmons acts like running a team is just common sense with no luck or skill involved. Plus, look how fun OKC or Portland is gonna be next year. i have no problem watching young guys carry crappy teams. plus they help out for fantasy bball.
make the rookie contracts longer and cheaper and it will be alright.
and yeah, i love the nuggest- anderson, jr smith. fun team to watch. be great to see them take down the lakers.

understood - but the egregious tanking over the past few seasons has been horrible and that would certainly curtail some of that.
small market teams will then be forced to make shrewder moves/deals.....not count on a draft bailout? and shitty owners won't be positively rewarded for being dickwads....and selfishly, I won't have to watch mediocre sixer teams year after year, getting trounced in the first round of the playoffs....mired in nowhere land....if they somehow get an awesome draft pick?
Meh, I know it won't change, I'm just drinking the simmons' kool-aid, I guess.

it's awesome...but it's huge.....I think the lottery stuff starts around the end of part 2? I recommend reading the whole thing, it's pretty entertaining.
