except mt2r isn't just talking about storylines; he's talking about quality of play

lol...you're such a little bitch, Nath.

I guess Agassi himself saying "meth ruined my tennis game" doesn't mean much to you, huh?

And to all the morons who were offended by my supposed fair-weatherness, the whole "I want a new team" thread was an obvious joke made out of frustration. I could no longer choose a new football team as I could a new sister.

Once again, guys it's sports. It does not matter and is not at all important to your real lives.

Sort of like 2+2. So all you stat geeks need to get over yourself.

Oh, and no way Kobe is a top 5 Laker and no way in hell Shag is >>>> than KAJ.

what if you're a compulsive sports gambler? would it matter then?

That sure has a lot to do with the quality of game play.

This shows how uneducated you are about the NBA. For starters, the Cavs were the consensus favorite going in to this season. Secondly, Orlando also has a legit chance at winning it all.

2 years in a row, Boston was taken to Game 7 in the first round of the playoffs. The first time by Atlanta and last year by Chicago in one of truly epic series of all-time. If you'd prefer to watch Stephen Curry hit a bunch of uncontested 18-foot threes instead of that Boston/Chicago series, than lol @ u.

First google image search result for Berenstain Bears.

My gf teaches first grade and was putting picture labels on bins of books by grabbing the first images images off the net and she almost used this without realizing it.

I watched the whole Boston/Chicago series. It was good, but yes I would rather watch curry take his little band of misfits deep into the tournament. Sorry if that makes me an idiot.

Also, if MT2R is arguing that quality of play is "better" because its more fun to watch, I would agree with that. If hes saying that its actually more talented, well then thats obviously ridiculous.

WTF does this even mean?

NBA is more 1 on 1 isolation, college is more passing/trying to find open shots. Some people can prefer the latter, thus thinking its more fun to watch.

To get back to the point of the thread,

cplo42

Whenever someone says the NBA is 1 on 1 isolation every play, I immediately discredit any opinion they have on the sport of basketball.

Maybe you're better at football. I hope so at least

Nope, try again.

If you mean passing around the perimeter for 30 seconds and then jacking up a contested 3, I agree.

Teams play better defense, pass better, "find the open shot" better, run the court better, move off the ball better, do about everything better, in the NBA

The only good point you've made in your god forsaken argument is that it's neat to see a small school go deep in the tournament, which is awesome and a big plus for college hoops. As far as gameplay, it's a horrible misconception that college basketball involves more teamwork than pro basketball.

Watch the Atlanta Hawks for one game. They switch more on defense than most college teams do in a month

lol...i knew some nit would chime in with this!

okay, yes, if you make your living on sports wagering, I guess it matters.

where did I say that its that every play? All im saying is that the NBA focuses more on just dumping it to your best player and hoping he can make something happen. NOT EVERY TIME, just more often. I dont think thats a ridiculous thing to say.

Jeez I apologize, I guess I just made that up.

I agree with your first paragraph. I understand that they all do it in a more talented way, I just think that in college the way it happens is more interesting and I prefer to watch college. Its hard to put into words, but think about the LLWS vs the MLB. Some people would rather watch the LLWS, obviously not because the play is better, its just more interesting. To SOME PEOPLE.

Also, there are plenty of other points, including that the NBA season is too long (imo) and that individual games dont matter all that much in the regular season, I dont like how the playoffs work, etc. but I understand its all opinion, and I dont think you should just be attacking people who prefer the NCAA

I win

LOL "THE SEASON IS TOO LONG (IMO)"

SOMEONE GET A HOSE THIS MAN IS ON FIRE!

exaggeration bro

lol

yeah I figured that would piss you off

w e, it just feels like regular season games barely matter since likek half the NBA makes the playoffs

lol

actually the opposite of pissing me off

keep goin

There is nothing wrong with people preferring the college game. But they should at least acknowledge that it's not ostensibly "better", just that they prefer the chaos and the sloppiness and the cheerleaders (oh and Verne ). The problem is when for whatever reason they say that it is "better" when it's clearly not. At least not talent-wise.

yeah deal. agreed.
