Sonics return

[James in PA]

I only watch current NBA because my son is a big 76ers fan. But I agree that its not nearly as good as back in the good ole days (pre 2000's). All these friggin uncontested 3 pointers and 120-130 point games is lame. I'll continue to watch some of these playoffs though just to root against the Knicks. Man, do I hate that team and their obnoxious fans. They have been getting so much love from the refs too. It's pretty blatant. Like the NFL, it feels like their is some steering going on.

Basketball is now what we called shooting practice, no real skill on defense, coaching and set ups of offense, it's like a pick up game on any court in the country with lazy people shooting threes. Everyone a Fred Brown, Give me Gus Williams, Slick Watts, Gary Payton, Dennis Johnson.

Yup. Dunk on some guy and pound your chest like a hero - despite the fact you are down by 20. I can't stand it any longer.

Sounds like a formerly great game to me. Glad I'm done with it since the Supes left. Not a single minute watched.

God bless the mavericks to make every okc fan weep

Bitter? Maybe, but I will always wish them the worst most painful losses.
