this was the one of the worst ref years in any sport.

I'm 21 and as a lifelong fan of the NBA, I have to agree that my only problem with the NBA currently is it's piss poor officiating. It doesn't help that David "asshat" Stern goes to the lengths of trying to keep it hush hush by threatening fines and other punishment to anyone who criticizes the referees.

Soo...when can we get a new commissioner?

I will say just this: I miss the mid-1990's NBA. Maybe that's just because that's what I grew up on...but the game seemed more...true.

Milwaukee has one of the more entertaining crowds. they are almost like a college game.

Because we have a bar on every corner.

Not to mention that the Bucks haven't been a contender for a while now if my memory serves me right. I'm sure the fans have basketball fever right now.

3 of the most rabid fan bases in the NBA:

Utah
Milwaukee
Oklahoma City

I don't think anyone will ever understand the absolute chaos that was happening in SLC in 1997 and 1998 when the Jazz battled MJ's Bulls for two years in the finals.

Yes indeed, go Suns. I'm hoping they can trek on to eventually defeat the Lakers.

Also I'm looking forward to this Celtics/Cavs match-up. It's sure to be an exciting series.

When's the last time the suns beat the spurs in the playoffs? Spurs are only gonna get tougher as they go along, and depending on how banged up the lakers get..... I can see them getting to the finals

Me too, they've surprised me this year. Suns and Spurs should make a for a great series.

For real. Sloan is the man. He's a hardass coach too, or at least that's the word around SLC. Hoping for the last nail in Denver's coffin tonight. :twisted:

Let's Go Nuggets! Must find a way to get the series back to the DCO for Game 7 on Sunday. I'd be lying if I said I think it's gonna happen... But hey, that's why they play the game!

Sloan is a stud. I wouldn't mind seeing him get a ring.

He fucking deserves one. He's coached consistently good teams for a long time, with the exception of the rebuilding years after Stockton and Malone left.

He used to be a Bull too...which I'm sure is no news to you. :?

I'm all about having faith...but The Jazz are one of the best home teams in the league...and the Energy Solutions Area will be hosting Denver's funeral tonight.

Sincerely though, I like Denver as a team...they've got talent. It's a shame they've just cracked under the pressure. Best of luck to you.

Thanks for the good sportsmanship, and same to you! I joked with my wife that we'll be watching the 10 o'clock news since I figure our heartless Nuggets will be behind 15-20 going into the 4th quarter. It IS quite the homecourt advantage there.
The Nuggs frustrate me waaaaay too much to be a hardcore fan. All the talent in the world, but no heart. Funny 'cause our Avs were just the opposite this season. I'll root for whoever wins this series moving forward since SLC has a soft spot in my heart. I was a lottery winner for the show out there last year and we were treated really well by the Cougar Fans when we attended the CSU/BYU football game wearing our green and gold. Classy people everywhere in UT!!!

Yessir, we've got nice folk out here in the good ol' UT.

Glad to hear you've got a soft spot as we'll be sending you home crying tonight.

(Now watch, Utah will lose and I'll look like a fool!) :x

Hey dcfaithful, if you do send the Nuggs home tonight for the season, please feel free to keep J.R. Smith.
