NBA is getting boring

I'm sick of all these ticky tack fouls. The game is so slow because players spend the whole game at the free throw line. Why does 6 foot something players who have muscles on muscles have to be babied. Also I don't like that the players can't pass the ball in without the refs handing it too them.

NBA where REFS ruin the games.

There should be 4 refs (2 on each side of the floor). They shouldn't run and should act as spectators not getting too involved in the game. I think that a player should only be whistled for a foul if the foul is blatant.

There's too many players (Paul Pierce included) that cry And1 and don't get back on defense. Its time to let these pussy's actually play and not flop about.

I thought how you meant we have to wait all season through 30 or so teams knowing only 4 can win the ring.

Yep, they matchup well against us for some reason. They're young and long LOL. At least we'll be facing them in the 2nd round. We had to go through hell last season to get the title.

This year could be tougher...the East is pretty tough. Even the crap teams like Indy and Philly are tough outs. CLE and ORL are tough, although I still think we're better...we shall see...

It certainly is disheartening, that's for sure. I'd like to see Stern actually set some new standards or policies, or something.

Defense is too good these days. If refs didnt' call fouls, we'd regularily have 38-40% shooting nights from teams. Guys would get away with more and more until the game was unwatchable.

See: THe year 2004 ECF.

Stern is part of the problem himself...so this'll never happen...

I totally disagree, if players weren't going to the line every 2 seconds if would be more enjoyable. I'm sick of the flopping around and players sticking out there legs while shooting 3's to draw contact.

Remember last year when Eddie House got kicked in the nuts on a 3 when he was playing D...AND THEY CALLED A FOUL ON EDDIE?

And then of course Paul's "offensive foul" when he took a 3 and Billups bulldozed him...
