Oso planning to go pro
The Heat team with MJ in place of LBJ sweeps the Mavs.
Michael was 1-9 in the playoffs without Scottie Pippen. It matters who you play with.
So, who gets finals MVP?
Durant
Cavs rolled over like a cheap hooker.
Watching the playoffs, the one thing that drives me nuts about the NBA, is the refusal to call offensive fouls (I was shocked they called 2 on Lebron in this game). The other is the absurd grabbing, pushing etc., instead of actually setting picks in a legal manner.Players like Lebron, Giannis, Harden, commit offensive fouls on most of their drives, by either driving their shoulder in and through a defender in position, to give them space to score, or by blatantly pushing off with the off arm, extending the arm as they push with the forearm. Harden/Lebron/Giannis (others) shoot so many FTs because they are actually more likely to call a defensive foul, when the offensive players lower their shoulder and initiate contact to displace a defender. To me at least it defeats some of what I like about basketball.To me, bully-ball, is boring, and against the rules (note I hated Shaq for the same reason). It isn't the players fault the NBA disregards the rules, but in my opinion it partially ruins the game.

Sorry but I love the NBA. I think pretty much everything about it is superior to anything else basketball wise. Outside of Marquette and the NCAAs, I rarely watch college basketball. A snoozefest.
I like the NBA, too. I just don't think they should let screen-setters break the rules several times every possession.
Has to be some happy medium between what the NBA allows and the college game, where if you move a quarter-inch the ref blows the whistle.
