    The NBA sucks! They are all self centered *kitten*. College basketball is much more fun to watch and is more of a team sport. Half the time NBA players are walking the court, I hate seeing millions of dollars wasted on someone giving 50%

    The butthurt smells very strong.

    It's not butthurt its my opinion. I used love watching the NBA back in the day with Jordan, Magic and all of the legends. The league has changed a lot and its not entertaining to watch.

    College basketball on the other hand is very entertaining. While not all of the players have the skill to make it to the NBA those kids are out there giving 110% every night. That's entertaining.


    Of course college plays their heart out! College is supposed to be the hardest push before "adult world." Although the salary is huge, NBA is those guys job still. Think about it...in a buisness course in college students will give a lot more effort to get the grades and the degree; never seen an employed office job worker give 110% everyday (work that copier!!) in NBA they are required to perform every night with a lot at stake-their team winning or losing, acceptance, and reputation.
    However, i wish NBA was a little more game and a little less buisness.

    It's so odd that Utah chose to keep the name the Jazz since Utah isn't affiliated with jazz unlike NO. Utah Salty's would be a better choice. Or the Utah NaCl's would be cool.

    It sucks to be a laker fan this year but I'll still watch every painful loss in its entirety. Maybe we get a healthy Kobe next year and who knows what will happen. I see this year going to GSW, but due to lack of playoff experience you got to keep an eye on the Spurs and with rose healthy the Bulls are a well rounded contender too. I'd say Houston but you can't win it all with harden being the only real threat. Their defense isn't going to win against this playoffs high scoring teams.

    My main concern for the DUBS is Bogut. If he's not healthy through the playoffs, inside play will be greatly affected on both offense and defense.
    I'm lovin' Draymond Green right now. When he was in Anthony Davis was 3 for 12. When he wasn't he was 5 for 9.
    With a deep bench and great defense the DUBS should win it all, but there are still too many experienced teams they have to get through. The West teams are tough and the Cavs and Bulls will be tough too.

    I live in Minnesota so usually this time of year the only thing we're talking about is the draft lottery.

    I'm a little worried that they let the game get to that point though. But great game. He will be MVP. Derrick Rose is looking sharp too. Very entertaining games tonight

    I was concerned, but at the same time, to me this just solidifies that they have the ability to comeback in the PLAYOFFS. They did it a few times in the regular season, but man not like this. Amazing. Especially since it's one of the highest in playoff history.
