It's that time of year again: NBA!

I do this every year to tweak parochial blog readers who still find a sliver of faux amateur goodness in the college roundball ranks.

To paraphrase from a particular menu, in a particular pub, co-owned by a particular friend:

This is like Anheuser-Busch InBev--too big and over priced.

Rent boys vs. kept men. I can see how that would be a tough call.

A pretty even game this year would be the Cavs against UK if John Wall can't play.
Go Suns and Kobe for my fantasy team

I've never really given the NBA a chance, so I'll have to do that. I gave the NFL a chance and I love it. Now, college football looks awkward and slow-mo.

Daniel S said...

Yeah but nobody plays defense in the NBA and the NFL is decided by refs. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy both, but college sports are much more pure in terms of effort. Obviously the professionals have the talent but each game doesn't mean as much.

I really dislike pro sports on most levels except soccer and hockey. I follow the Knicks and the Dolphins, but don't get too heavily invested in the games.

Soccer and hockey? Aren't you from Salem? What the hell happened to you!?! (grin)

@Daniel - good point. People get scrazy about the outcomes in college sports, and I'm not one of them.
