I would of thought a woman of your talents could score killer seats at any NBA game at will.

I've sat directly behind the teams at some NBA games, it's awesome.

Not liking someone is not racist.
Unless that dislike stems from prejudice or stereotypical ideas about them regarding their race.It is made worse if I ACT on that towards them or against them with ill will behind it solely due to race.

Oh us poor white people - we have been so mistreated and abused.So demonized !!

Why don't you Chumpettes form a Grievance group ??

How the fuck you like that Boy ??

As long as idiot white boys like you continue to take it up the ass from the whining race hustlers we are fucked.

I hope you get them at a very cheap price.

Two very entertaining basketball games this evening. What a great restart to the season!

tv ratings should be interesting.

[Lucas McCain]

Dilbert, I am curious about seeing the ratings too. It was kind of weird watching games with political statements and nobody in the stands. I understand the purpose, but without crowds, it takes some energy out of the games. I'm just happy to be watching basketball again though so I'll put up with it, but I wonder how many people will in the long run.

I guess I can say the same about college and NFL football too because I don't think they'll even finish their seasons. At least the NBA players are stuck in a bubble and are relatively safe so they'll probably finish out the season. I don't really see that with football or baseball.

much as i hate to admit it you are probably right about football. the NFL has the ability to deal with this better than the colleges can. already 3 of the big 5 have said they will only play a conference schedule. the Big 10, PAC 12 and now the SEC which is the 900 pd gorilla in the room. that leaves only the ACC and Big 12. while inter league games are great, i'll forgo that if it means there is a college football season.



at the end of the day it's a numbers game. and not just money there the Pro's can still get TV revenue as can the colleges but what i mean is the numbers. a NBA squad is 12 players .. baseball about 26. now compare that to football where the NFL has a 53 man roster and colleges 85 plus.



pretty easy to see who has the easier path. the NBA.

TWK, I've already prepared myself for football withdrawals. I'm so fucked up that I even watch NFL Cowboys preseason games. Do you know how messed up you have to be to be a fan of the Cowboys and watch a bunch of guys who will be lucky to even make their practice squad and you are disappointed when the preseason is cancelled?

Fortunately for my college footballs withdrawals, FSU was going to suck anyway so I didn't exactly have high hopes for them ever since Fisher took the money and ran to Texas A&M. Fuck Jimbo and Jameis because that program is a mess now. At least they cut ties with Taggart - he should have stayed at Oregon.

As cute as I am.. and as smart as I am... I don't have the natural "hustle" instinct that some ladies seem to have. Its just not in me. I'm too blunt, too honest, and too independent sometimes.

well the nba, la bron, nike all tied up in a neat bow

uighurs in concentration camps don’t buy sneakers, but the Communists who put them there do. When push comes to shove, that’s all that really matters to the National Basketball Association, an organization led exclusively, it seems, by protoplasmic, invertebrate robber-barons who put in their work days sucking greedily on the teat of the Chinese Communist Party. There’s simply no other conclusion to be reached after reading yesterday’s excellent ESPN investigation into the NBA’s activities in the Middle Kingdom.

and oh yeah, America is awful

I agree with the sentiment that the lack of a crowd will seriously and negatively impact the energy of the games...what fun is it to show off the same dunk moves to your teammates and coaches? They won't cheer wildly and give you the natural high that comes with the validation of a large gathering united in the common purpose of victory.

When the sponsors see the low TV ratings after the novelty wears off, I can see some serious conflicts between the networks and the advertisers. I will likely watch a game or two to see if it seems like game films or a scrimmage to confirm my thoughts on the matter.

I admit I'm biased against it but I doubt it will be very exciting. Perhaps America will use this opportunity to quit watching other people play games while drinking beer and eating pizza and getting fat, and will instead participate in their own activities instead.

Rooting for a bunch of players who will go to the highest bidder and in this instance happen to be playing for the "local" team validates the fans exactly how? At least in the college game, many of the players on the state University teams played ball in a local high school and have a connection to the area.
