No offense, but I thought March Madness sucked this year, there were no upsets at all. Madness my ass.

I agree WuTa, it did suck, not as bad as some, and not as good as some others, like last year.

IMO, it wasn't exciting. I figured it was obvious that when I said "It wasn't exciting too me," it was my opinion only. I am just saying that the NBA just isn't exciting to me anymore, unless there's one team that I really want to win. I'm just stating my opinion, I'm not trying to change anybody elses. You apparently thought it was an exciting series. I didn't.

It's fine, but I tend to find series exciting even when I don't particularly favor one team over the other. A close game with 2 juggernauts battling will keep me excited regardless.

All the games were still close and good though, just the underdog didn't come out with the victory. And there were still some crazy games. Plus, I had money on it, so that right there made it more exciting 😛

A bad March Madness still kicks the shit out of any NBA playoffs.

March Madness will always kick ass, head over heels past the NBA playoffs.

I have ignored it for quite a while now, but it's really starting to annoy me. If you guys are going to keep on promoting that the NBA sucks, then please do it somewhere else. And even though the Nets are out, I will continue to watch the games and enjoy them, because that is what a true NBA fan does.

The NBA doesn't suck, only when you're compariong it to March Madness. It's like comparing Dwyane Wade to Ira Newble. If you compare Ira to Wade, Ira sucks. But if you compare Ira to any one of us, he's amazing. I love basketball, so I'll most likley continue to watch the playoffs(only the 2nd half though). Basketball is basketball, I'm sure I'll be entertained, just not thrilled, like I would be with March Madness.

And I just realized that you're sig is Coach Carter. That movie is the sh*t. 😉

If you don't think the Spurs/Suns series was good there your out yo damn mind. Other than the suspensions hurting the Suns, I think they really shot themselves in the foot by not use more of there bench, especially in game 5. There stars burnt out at the end of that game, and couldn't finnish it. Using more bench could have eassily have prevented that.

And just out of curiousity, what's everyones studying?

That has been my criticism of D'Antoni all year. He is great at coaching a fast style but does not know how to adapt well or integrate the bench.

Studying? School-wise? I just graduated (today in fact!) with a B.S. in Psychology. I start my 5 year program for a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in August.

Don't get me wrong, I am a huge NBA fan, real big. But the fan base in the NCAA is better, I'm still watching the playoffs though. But the NCAA shows the up and coming players. The crowd is included way more in the NCAA games.

Congrats Myth, I went to a graduation yesterday, and I'm going to one today. Good luck in the future.

Really, that shit is getting annoying. March Madness is not on the NBA playoffs level, I don't care what anyone says. That Suns-Spurs series was more exciting than any game in the tournament this year. If you feel it isn't there is a nice college basketball thread that you can go discuss it in.

You're entitled to you're own opinion.....

Who advances to the Finals???

Well at this point it looks like a repeat of a Spurs-Pistons final of a couple of years back, while they're both great teams who play classic fundamental basketball and are two well disciplined teams and furthermore.... 😖leep:

Also, anyone notice that the Utah Jazz always seem to have most of the white players in the league on their team why is that? For as long as I could remember Utah has always had more white players that any other team. Do you think they purposely go out and recruit white players due to their largely white population and fan base or is just pure coincidence. Please note, I'm not trying to start some racial BS here, so please don't go down that road, just a curious observation and just wondering what everyone else thinks is all.

Btw, who knew John McClane was a BBall fan...

Yippekayye......Mutha......well you fill in the blank, oh wait no need, he already did for us 😄....Yeee Hawwww!

Jerry Sloan is secretly a Red Master Dragon......No, Most of the fans that attend NBA games are white, so if that was the case every team would recruit more white, or european players. I always chalked it up to coincidence.

I knew that, He was at alot of the Pisons/Nets postseason games a few years back, and just a heads up, but I believe it's John McCaine., and he was drunk off his ass in that interview 🙂

Uhh, I believe you might be confusing the fictional tough rugged cop character from the Die Hard movies with the former senator of Arizona who is now one of the Republican front runners for the presidency of the United States.

Honest mistake tho 😉

yea, wow, my bad.

The only reason the Suns and Spurs series was good was because it was dirty and there was blood.
