out again

Alright, the last time I appeared in this space I was sick of the NBA, and honestly pretty sick physically as well. It turns out I was suffering from something called ulceric colitis, which is literally quite a pain in the stomach. But, after four days in the hospital I have been released, and really feel better than I have in over a year. I am pumped full of steroids and honestly just tired, which brings me to how I still feel about the NBA. The league is sick, and I honestly have no way to fix it. It seems that there is a ton of ideas out there and I am not really sure any of them are any good. The bottom line for me is that I love basketball, high school basketball, college basketball, and then I hate the NBA. The style of play, the officiating and really the money involved. The only hope is for teams like the Suns to radically alter the way the game is played, which the league seems to absolutely refuse. I am a little surprised to see some people picking the Spurs-Jazz series to go long (6-7 games). This series is exactly in the Spurs wheelhouse. The Jazz do nothing different than the Spurs, half court execution, solid defense and being tough, they just don't do any of those things better than the Spurs. The Jazz will be lucky to pull more than a game.
