goose Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 This has been a great playoff year for the NBA. And the finals...go Spurs! It's refreshing to see some actual team basketball. Averaging six passes per possession and fewer than 3.7 tattoos per limb, the Spurs are as likeable a team as the NBA can field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 It's over????? Finally a respite from basketball for a few months? I can turn on the TV without finding that the program I'd wanted to watch got preempted by a stupid basketball game? (I know hockey and baseball last forever as well, but I LIKE those sports! Also from Nov-April there's both the NBA and NCAA overlapping, so it's very hard to escape basketball). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like that EVER happens. Trust me, I've given up ever being able to watch any coverage of the big races at Saratoga in the fall - ESPN deems Little League baseball FAR more important. They put the races on the programming schedule but they're inevitably pre-empted by the kids going into extra innings or what have you. It's the only time I hate baseball, and I really wish ESPN would drop the contracts for racing coverage and let one of the 2 racing channels, HRTV or TVG, take it over.

Here in NV we can go to the casinos and watch the horses all day if we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weakly Criminal Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Being closet Spurs fan (when they're not playing my Mav's) I'm smiling with my hand over my mouth. A real team will beat a collection of talent every time. They'll be back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always root for them (unless they're playing the Lakers). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
