        Because every year it "gets worse and worse."

        Which I disagree with.

        I think after 2001 it was kind of crappy, but after last year, it got back to sufficient.

          Disagree. Many teams could win it all this year. That is what is interesting to me. Also who is going to make that next step into the playoffs. Will Atlanta be the next Golden State? Charlotte? Minnesota?

            I can't wait for the NBA season to start. Nothing better than a TNT doubleheader on Saturday night capped off with Inside the NBA with Ernie, Chuck, and the Jet

                  if you dont like it, dont watch it.....theres no law saying you have to
                  this is precisely the reason I stopped arguing a long time ago. Monkey See, monkey do. People can't EVER think for themselves. It's a tired trend.

                  I enjoy the NBA just as much as I did when I was a kid.

                            Exactly but of course nostalgia clouds people's memories.

                            If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                              1990-1993.

                              There were many all-time greats playing then (Magic, Bird, Jordan, Isiah, Ewing, Hakeem, Shaq, David Robinson, Drexler, Barkley, Stockton, Malone, Payton, Worthy, 'Nique, Reggie, Pippen, McHale, Parrish) with great 2nd tier talent (Mullen, Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond, Penny, Mark Price, Mourning, Kemp, Laimbeer, Dumars, Rodman, Webber, Mutombo, Starks, Horace Grant, KJ, Rice, etc).

                              Since there were fewer franchises, teams had more depth. There was no zone defense, fewer no-calls on traveling, the ability to play tough man defense without getting touch fouls called, no high school players in the league, and no evidence of refs betting on games.

                              You had the last glimpses of Showtime, you had Run TMC, you had the Bad Boys, you had the first 3-peat since the 60's Celtics with the Bulls, honestly exciting Finals match-ups, and the man-beast known as Harold Miner :wink:.

                                We get to see more games. When I was growing up in the early 80's you would see games only on Sundays now if you have cable you can watch 6-10 games a week if you wanted. Watch less and enjoy more.

                                Peace
