I took the rare opportunity to watch some of the game Friday night. Mohammed, Noah, Gibson...the Birdman dude...are ALL reasons I don't bother with the NBA any more. These guys are barely anything more than thugs with talent. The physical confrontations, T's, intentionals, ejections, whining and everything else that has gone on makes it truly unwatchable. We joke around and call it the NBE...but that is pretty much what it has become...pro wrestling with a basketball. And I wouldn't downplay the media's role in the downward spiral of this series. You can hear the announcers voices litteraly crackle with excitement when the s**t starts up on the court.
As far as the rest of the season...my philosopy is now: WHO CARES? It's not even basketball any more.

But you know, perhaps it all part of a storyline since this IS "pro wrestling with a basketball" (heavy, heavy sarcasm). ![]()

I can also tell he has not watched much NBA when he probably does not realize that this is one of the biggest rivalries in the game. These two teams hate each other as much as you can hate each other without playing for NBA Title. A lot of trash talking in the media and players like Noah honestly not liking the Heat and called them "Hollywood." They have played each other the last few years in the playoffs and often is very physical and contentious. You are not going to see all this stuff in a series like the Golden State-San Antonio series because those teams do not have history several years over. Heck this Bulls-Heat series reminds me of the old days with Indiana-New York or New York-Chicago where teams hated the ground the other walked on and usually resulted in one or the other going to the Finals. Even Boston-Heat was contentious the last few years, and both at least had been in the Finals in recent years. I guess he thinks that they are going to play like unskilled high school kids.

What this series has degraded into goes beyond intense rivalries and the occasional dust up...overpaid knuckleheads with no control of their emotions. It overshadows the positive aspects of the pro game...like the perseverance of the wounded Chicago line up or the dominant skills of LeBron.
