Mark, can you explain to me what "real" basketball rules are? If I recall, most rules the NBA has, we have at all levels, like the 3 point line.

Rut - I think you know I meant enforcing the actual rules, like traveling. I guess I should have been more specific. Thanks for pointing that out.

BTW - you gonna watch the Blackhawk game tonight?

Considering that traveling is not called properly at all levels, that is why I asked.

And something tells me that before the finals you probably could not name 5 players on each team.

I probably will watch the both back and forth, but that is because I am bored.

Here in DC, and the oft game I see on TV, I see a lot of "fans" dressed as empty seats. I get emails during the season asking if I want lower level $120 seats for the Wizards for $20 some games. Only problem, it's usually the Wizards vs Nets, Sixers, or Knicks (or another stellar team).

Concur that it appears attendance is way down. Yet, the players continue to want these HUGE salaries (as they do in all sports). Unless TV revenues continue to pay the bills, something will have to give one of these days.......

Figures lie and liars figure. Yup, it's collective bargaining re-negotiation time. Attendance is a reflection of the economy in general.

And....."Lets go, FLY-ERS!

Here's how I've always heard this cliche - figures don't lie, but liars do figure.

Go Blackhawks !!!!

Saw a commercial by the league thanking the fans for a great season.

How does the league make that ad while at the same time reporting staggering losses? Seems disingenuous.
