    With this day being the last day of the season

    I must say this has been one of the worst NBA seasons by far for fans to endure.

    The season started off with the league giving refs the power to control players like robots. No emotion, no ohs or ahs, and with some, dont even look their way on a call or you get T'd up.

    Half of the season you had stars coasting

    Franchise players complaining about getting traded when they no longer wanted to be on teams they asked to be the main guys for

    You saw a slew of injuries that ravaged most teams in the league.

    For a long time the eastern conference looked like a collapsing bunch of CBA teams sans about 3 teams.

    The best thing about all star weekend was a race between an old fat retired NBA player (Charles Barkley) and an old mummified current referee (**** Bavetta).

    The trade deadline was one of the biggest letdowns of the year....

    considering how terrible some of these teams are, not one GM thought it was worth improving the team which brings some of the fans into watching their teams purposely creating ways to tank competing with other teams tanking just for a draft pick they might not even get.

    What alot made a big deal out of...

    Sure you saw some 50/60 point games from Kobe and Gil.

    Sure you saw Dallas rack up 60+ wins

    Sure you saw The Heat look like they were one and done, and are back in the thick of the east

    You also probably overlooked and underrated teams like Houston, Utah, San Antonio players like Tim Duncan, and coaches like Jerry Sloan and Pop


    All in all, there has been more disappointment this season than I can remember in a long time.


    On a good note, Joey Crawford is gone thanks to Tim Duncan

    The playoffs will be starting soon

    The east is up in the air, the west will be a slugfest

    Now its time for ESPN to put down their bias and shove the "team game" down your throats as if they were doing it all year.


    How do you remember the season?

    I agree with you on all of your points.

    I really think the NBA needs to shorten its season to about 40 or 50 games.
    82 is just way too many games.

        This is the first season I never sat and watched an entire NBA game. Maybe the play-offs will be different.

          Ha!

          You know what's funny. I was thinking about some of this same stuff like the Clippers for instance.

          How much of a moron is Mike Dunleavy and the Clippers.

          First of all they give this guy a 5 year deal in the middle of a confusion riddled season.

          On top of that he seems rewarded for either not realizing or holding a grudge against Maggette up until the last minute when it cost them a playoff spot.

          How do you give a guy like this a 5 year extension?

            Man, I like how he broke down the Nash/Dirk MVP debate. I personally believe Nash is the MVP.. and Simmons made some great points as to why Nash should probably win the award.

                    I didn't watch an entire quarter on TV this year, my first. I did attend two games where I got free tickets.

                      Re: With this day being the last day of the season

                      From the linked article:

                      Seven teams openly tanked the last four-five weeks of the season for lottery position, with another five joining them these past few weeks and pretty much destroying fantasy basketball as we knew it& not to mention all the poor saps who were shelling out big bucks for season tickets.
                      Is this true? I haven't read anything about this.

                        The Celtics tanked big time. One game they started all their reserves. I will say the Bucks tanked because Redd didn't play down the stretch, neither did Bogut and Charlie V had an operation.

                        I'm not sure who else tanked it, but I'm sure there are other teams as well.

                          Add the T-Wolves to that list. They've lost I think 6 straight games and KG is nowhere to be found. I don't mean disappearing in the clutch...I mean he's not playing at all and he's never hurt.

                              Is that the new NBA slogan?
