Top 5 Reasons to hate the NBA

Top 5 Reasons to hate the NBA 1. Tattoos. a) White players look ridiculous with them b) Black players don't seem to realize it's difficult to even read what is tattoo'd on them.......which might be a good thing. 2. The reactions after ANY questionable call goes against them a) Incredulous look b) Continued look like the player has been violated c) If it's a nocall foul on O, the player jogs back disinterested in D. 3. The Damn announcer yelling "ORLLLLLLLLLLLLLANDO WOOOOOLRIDGE" or whatever after a guy scores cutting the home team deficit to 12. 4. FOUL. FOUL. FOUL. FOUL. FOUL. 5. A foul to give, guys foul ASAP with 6+ seconds left, when the other team is going for the last shot, and won't shoot until the clock is under 4. 6. The Thunder Sticks NOISE NOISE NOISE 7. The horrendous shot selection/decisions. ME ME ME. Who cares about the team, let's just SHOOT IT from 21 with a hand in our face. 8. Down a few points with 15-20 seconds left, Coach yells "FOUL!" and the goal of the D I swear is to find a way to let them get the ball to the slow white guy, and then hack him ASAP, so Mr. 88% can go to the line. 9. In the workplace, call a guy a 'F******' and you would be terminated on the spot. Here............NO BIG DEAL.Just bring your checkbook. 10. I am truly amazed loser teams like Charlotte/Minnesota/Clev can get 5,000 people + a night paying super high prices. GOD, I hate this game.

Can find as many reasons in the last minute of last nights knicks game.

That was 7 reasons. I never liked the nba as much as cbb and when their fan base essentially burned las vegas to the ground all star weekend i fired the nba

[QUOTE=Fezzik;41920] 7. The horrendous shot selection/decisions. ME ME ME. Who cares about the team, let's just SHOOT IT from 21 with a hand in our face. [/QUOTE] This was Westbrook last night at the end of the DEN/OKC game. 1-5 with 2 turnovers in the last 5:45 of the game, which resulted in OKC losing an 8 point lead. Each of those 5 shots should have been taken by Durant. In fact, if memory serves me right, Durant didn't even touch the ball on those 6 posession. That is CRAZY. I kept looking for Scotty Brooks to be in Westbrook's face during stoppages, but never saw it happen

was at celtics last night, i hate going to these games, the nonsense on the jumbotron tells you who the game is marketed to-btw the c's have cheerleaders, a guy on stilts, tshirts shot into the crowd by slingshot etc etc, i mean we are the celtics, enufffffffff

Westbrook has been taking bad shots all year. His usage is way too high with Durant on the team. If he stops being a hog and lets Durant get more looks OKC is going to the finals.

GOD, I hate this game.[/QUOTE] 1. not just nba. many sports have tats. most you just cant see due to uniforms. 2. happens with baseball players with the home plate ump. happens with lineman called for holding. happens with tennis players on close line calls. 3. MLB still calls names of players and plays music for them as they come up to bat even though the team is down 8 runs....it's the announcers job 4 and 5. same as college hoops. welcome to basketball. 6. a trend started by MLB I believe 7. i got nothing. that's pretty much the NBA in a nutshell. if you want team basketball, watch college 8. true. college isnt a bastion of coaching smartness either. neither is NFL or college for that matter. 9. agree. in other sports it's much more strict. of course if that was Artest or Rodman, then you'd see a suspension.... 10. it's Charlotte, Cleveland and Minnesota. what else is there to do for most of the winter? at least with Cleveland they sold many tix before lebron left.

MLB and Golf much more enjoyable to watch and easier on the blood pressure. Unless you bet on Kevin Na.

MLB much easier on the blood pressure - it'll put you to sleep; At least until the playoffs start. Despite all the problems the NBA has would rather watch that.
