Does anyone miss the NBA?

[JVides]

Too much good football and too much good hockey going on right now for me to miss the hoops. If they announce tomorrow that the entire NBA season was cancelled, I really would have no problem with it at all.

Aren't you just as big an NBA junkie as I?  I'm floored by this comment, sir.  Floored!

Nah...I follow the Suns pretty closely, but I've become so disenchanted by the NBA the past few years that I really just don't care about it very much at all any more.

^^^But 'Stroke, how can you not like what's going on in Oklahoma City (other than it should be going on in Seattle)?  How can you not like what Memphis has managed to do?  I am a fan of neither team, but they're exciting.  I'm deeply intrigued by San Antonio/Boston/Dallas/Lakers trying to hold off the young teams (OKC, Memphis, Chicago) in their divisions, the development of the Miami "juggernaut", the rise of New York into a legit team, the improvement (arrival?) of John Wall, the demise of Robert Sarver and renewal of the Phoenix Suns (I had to pique your interest, even if it's with wishful thinking)...

There are a lot of good story lines to whet the NBA appetite.  I'm beginning to miss the NBA now.  Damn, please end this lockout...

JVides my friend I am with you 100%. Just reading your post made me think more about it than I wanted too. The NBA is my 2nd favorite sport behind Football and the college version just will not quench my appetite for basketball. I do miss the NBA we had no free agency period and we should be in pre-season right now. Come November the season should have started and I will really start missing it even more then. Yeah the NBA really heats up after the beginning of the year but I love catching games at anytime. I will be really pissed if the call the whole thing off and much like the 99 season I hate strike shortened seasons and *champions!!!!!

It's simply a matter of priority. When I break down my "sports I like to follow" rankings, it goes:

NFL
MLB
NHL
College football
College basketball
Dwarf-tossing
Midget Thai Boxing
NBA
Soccer

You may have to point me to the next Dwarf Tossing match to fill up space in my empty NBA schedule!!!!!

Wow...what happened?

You used to be really into it.

I am:

NFL
NBA
UFC

The other sports, I will watch out of convenience, but don't really care if I miss them.

David "The Weasel from Hell" Stern happened... The suspensions during the Suns-Spurs series happened...lots of crap that made me go "aw, fuck the bozos" happened.

AZ, Don't go bagging on my '99 Spurs now!  They won it fair and square.  It's not their fault other rosters spent the lockout eating twinkies.  That reflects badly on the other teams, not the Spurs.

I knew you would catch that friendly shot I fired your direction!!!!!

I miss the NBA,  other than being a Fin fan, im also a die hard HEAT fan and was looking forward to this season because the Dolphins are looking like $hit so watching the Heat would have been more appealing to watch.  I want my B-ball dammit 

[BigDaddyFin]

Can't say I miss the NBA at all.  If they hadn't told me there was a lockout, I wouldn't have known. 

Eventually January would come around and I'd probably wonder why everyone at ESPN isn't on their knees blowing Lebron James, but outside of that, we're more college basketball and pro hockey here.

[stinkfish]

Hopefully I won't have to. Sounds like the season may be saved.

I missed the Knicks being temporarily relevant again. Guess I will just wait another 14 years.
