Basketball Thread

NBA & NCAA!

I like Basketball but i don't root for in particular team. The Lakers are my local team but i hate Kobe...

I grew up a Georgetown, Notre Dame, and UNLV fan. Today I'm just a UNLV fan. Oh, and whoever Duke is playing. I really hate Duke.

I've never been able to get into the NBA at all.

The Rockets are the team I follow, although that's kind of tough this
season because the NBA decided the Clippers and Knicks were more worthy
of being seen on national tv than a team with "no stars"

I don't follow college sports very much in general, although I like it when the Longhorns do well, since I went to UT.

College:
1.UNC
2.ILLINOIS
3.SYRACUSE
4.GA TECH
5.TX TECH

NBA:
1.Mavs
2.Rockets
3.Hawks
4.Bulls

"Basketball Jones, I got a basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones
Oh baby oo-wee-ooo
Ladies and gentlemen, I wuz the victim of a Basketball Jones.
Ever since I wuz a baby I always be dribblin'.
Then one day my Mama bought me a basketball... and I looooved that basketball.
That basketball was like... a basketball to me!"

As far as college basketball I pull for UNC. I really don't watch enough pro basketball to root for a favorite.

Hell yeah, DM! I remember you, bro! GO HEELS!

Dislike college hoops and I route for the Sixers in the NBA..

The NBA is just so much faster and explosive it makes the NCAA look like the PAL league..

Never could get into basketball at all.

I follow the NCAA but I abhor the NBA. Watching the NBA is like watching boxing IMO. Plus they're all spoiled rotten babies.

And the NBA is so much faster and more explosive than the NCAA because traveling and palming the ball are never freakin' called...EVER.

It was a great weekend for GA TECH and TENNESSEE!

For those of you who love the NBA, or even simply like it (or even more specifically, loved it in the Magic/Bird/Jordan era) and/or are big fans of arguments and NBA history....I highly recommend:

Bill Simmons - The Book of Basketball

(he's the Sports Guy on espn.com)

How about those Mavs beating down the Celtics?!

I was ok with the Celtics until they picke up Rashweed. Have a lot of loathing for that guy.

I suppose as a Pacific Northwesterner you would. Wasn't he one of the main Jailblazers? What a miserable time for that team.

Never liked Portland! I used to love those Detroit bad Boys, though! Guess that explains it!

Kobe vs Lebron tonight!

I liked Simmons better when the Celtics still sucked. It seems like when they got good again and won the championship he suddenly became insufferable to read

Never liked the Celtics!
