Re: NBA 10-11
Great post by thrill ... I'll just add this in reference to D: I watch the Bulls more than any other team, I probably watch 80% of their games (watching now - TO so I'm posting). But night in and night out - the effort and intesity on D is there. If you just tune in you might not see/understand it if you are used to the college game, but for the most part these guys are busting their humps every night. And remember that the frequency of games/travel is way more intense in the NBA. The Bulls recently had a 4 games in 5 nights, 2 nights off, then another 4 games in 5 nights.
The athleticism in the NBA is just something that makes my jaw drop every single night. That's why I watch, why I love it, and why I would call it my # .... 2? Ok 2, baseball is still 1. Except if I'm forced to choose I generally will watch the NBA game.

Re: NBA 10-11
Why watch the Bulls play teams like the Timberwolves on Thursday night when there are so many funny shows on? You can probably catch the highlights later on ESPN and watch the next game when there's nothing good on. But with college sports, Mizzou only plays KU a few times a year. It's always a high intensity game for start to finish, even if it's in the first couple weeks of the season. You instantly get playoff atmosphere.
The comments about college basketball being corrupt are ironic given that this is a baseball forum. Baseball might be the most corrupt sport out of all of them.

Getting fun to watch the Hornets again. Whatever message Monty Williams sent to Marcus Thornton, it appears to have gotten through to him.

Muggsy Bogues is 5'3". Spud Webb, at 5'7" is the shortest to win the dunk contest, I believe.jim wrote:Is Earl Boykins the smallest guy that has ever played in the NBA? 5-5 - he is hilarious looking out there.
