Boy, it was really hard to watch last Thursday’s return to Cleveland by Lebron. It was not a hard prediction, but I did project in my previous blog that the fans would make Lebron feel the “heat”. They did that and it probably stung for about a quarter before Miami dominated the “contest” and made it a non-event. Lebron had perhaps his best game of the season. In watching the game, it reminded me of everything I absolutely detest about the NBA. Here they are in no particular order:
- Too many teams make the playoffs. Why play 82 games during the regular season?
- Games are hideously expensive. To sit in the nosebleed section costs at least $50.
- Related to #2 – players make way too much money.
- Too much stupid stuff on the sidelines, before and during the game.
- Players falling in love with 3 point shot.
- Celebration of the individual and not the team.
- Players from opposite teams are too cozy. What happened to the competitive fire
- Too many foul shots and some really ugly foul shooting (Shaq, Ben Wallace, Dwight Howard). How could an NBA player shoot 50% from the foul line?
- The really dumb rule which allows you to call time out while falling down.
- Too many games decided in 4th quarter. A foul call here or there changes too many games.
