I've found myself getting less excited for the NBA every year, not more. Watching your team invent new ways to humiliate themselves and their fans in the playoffs every year does that to you, I guess. Plus college football is in full swing, October baseball is just around the corner, and the NHL's on-ice product is the best it's been in a long time. All of them are putting out a better product on average than the NBA or NFL.
Spoken like a true Clipper fan.
Going to be tough for awhile not seeing TD on the court. Game to me is getting less interesting. I'm with Pop on thinking the three point shot is taking a lot out of the game. I think it would become more interesting if they just did away with it.
Pau dominated in the Olympic games I watched.
LMA in his second season with the Spurs has the potential to go off especially next to Gasol.
Kawhi going for a 3rd straight DPOY and will hopefully make MVP noise.
The starting front court is nasty and gives reason for hope. The backcourt on the other hand, I dunno.
Going into the season as massive underdogs due to Durant's pussyness. No pressure to ring and get 6 for Tim. Just relax enjoy the season and see how the Spurs go
Definitely interested here. By February I'm gonna want the playoffs to start already, but the start of the season is always exciting and welcome, IMO.
No interest is too harsh, but less interested ... Timmy is gone ... and given the level of compe ion only a 2nd year Boban might have been able to keep my interest.
Rough to get excited about the season with Timmy gone, but once it gets going my interest level is bound to grow. Dubs are more than likely winning it all, but with the injury history of their top two players anything can happen.
I'm not feeling all that interested in what appears to be a done deal for the warriors, but I'm sure at some point in the season I'll be lured in falsely thinking someone else has a chance.
Not too interested for the first time in years, but not because of Durant or the Warriors. It'll probably change when the season begins, though.
Would have been more excited for Manu's last year if I wasn't expecting a season of struggle for him, similar to TD's. Our rookies are at least a year away from being interesting. Pop is kind of less invested it seems and will probably be affected by Timmy's absence. Only Kawhi's development is a possible highlight. Very meh.
How do teams plan for illegal screens?
I understand the lack of interest. The league keeps getting watered down due to the mindset of the current superstars.
However, it's still a possibility that the Warriors will not gel very well. They could get injured, and they could cool down. We never know when Curry might just stop making half court game winners.
Given the prominent names missing, both from the late 50's-mid 60's (Cousy, Sharman, Heinsohn) and the 70's (Cowens, White, Silas), I take it this was the late 60's iteration? How did K.C. Jones not get a mention?
Feb. 28, 1969 to be exact. I think K.C. was gone by then and Russell was a player coach at that time. Cousy was the first player I tried to emulate as a little kid.Given the prominent names missing, both from the late 50's-mid 60's (Cousy, Sharman, Heinsohn) and the 70's (Cowens, White, Silas), I take it this was the late 60's iteration?

By the way, Sam Jones won that game at the buzzer on about an 18 foot bank shot from the right wing. Still remember that one.
Looking it up now, '66-'67 was K.C. Jones' final season. As an aside, Barnett (Warriors TV color analyst) and Embry (first "black" GM) were also on that team.
Sam Jones, the so called original master of the bank shot.
Yeah, Sam shot bank shot jumpers all the time and from farther out on the floor than did Timmy. Havlicek was the perpetual motion guy, 100% effort all the time like Ginobili has been with the Spurs. The first time I saw Manu play for the Spurs as a rookie, I thought he reminded me of Havlicek, except he was a more clever passer than Jarrin' John was.
After moving to the midwest, I attended a few games and saw Tiny "Nate the Skate" Archibald when he was in KC. He was incredible. Also got to see the Big "O" at the end of his career when he was with the Bucks along with Alcindor/Jabbar and that great team (when they were in town to play the Kings).
I can't wait for the season to start. A lot of new players, a formidable front-line, Green looking to redeem his RS from last year, and Manu coming back for another shot- what's not to be excited about. Last season watching GSW lose in the Finals was wonderful and I'm hoping poetic justice will raise its mighty hand and slap Kevring Durbeta back to the Hoover Dam!
So you've seen everyone from the mid 60's on? Impressive.
Well, about 1962-63 (9) was when I started watching pro basketball, but back then, games weren't on all the time.
Living 25 minutes away from Oakland, this is gonna be an especially painful season to go through for me.
I loved watching Sam Jones.
You need to get an award or something!
So be honest, how would basketball from the 60, 70, 80, 90 fare against todays atheletes and increasing level of skill play
Yeah and I will go to all Spurs games there too as always...so that could turn out to be quite ugly. At least Bonner is finally gone!You need to get an award or something!
