I Hate This Time of the Year
If the kind of "slow" that sets in between the end of post-season tournaments and the beginning of summer camps in June had a Facebook page I would not push the "Like" button.

Breaking down film from last year and other related activities is tiding me over.

I Wouldn't Bet My House, But ...
Spring, and summer, AAU ball will be in full swing in a matter of days. And, man, do I love those AAU coaches. Then, of course, there are those high school summer league games, and in a few states where the "official" high school coach isn't allowed to coach during the off season, we'll get some "parent coaches" pushing their vocal cords to the limits. Then we'll start seeing some posts, and I'll bet a dollar to a donut that a lot of the posts will deal with game management issues. And socks. Don't forget socks. White? Black? Ankle socks? Crew socks? You just gotta love those sock threads.

NBA doesn't have the intentional foul away from ball rule right. It's horrible sitting through that.

How so?

Only in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime. I understand the sentiment both ways...it's not pretty to watch, but then again, make your free throws and it's not an issue.

It's an issue for someone who is watching the game. It is one of the reasons the NBA is not fun for me to watch.

Change the rule and the strategy goes away. I'm not complaining as a player, I'm complaining as a viewer.

It's a legitimate technique that caused me to turn the channel and I never came back to the game. It's a legitimate reason the NBA's ratings and appeal are not what it used to be.

Funny. That's the only part of an NBA game that I watch on television.
