You kids stay off my lawn!
I don't want to take the fun away from the BP gang that's into the NBA finals, but I don't get it. I mean I really don't get it. Its like this invisible world out there that others must see, but I sure don't.
To be fair, I haven't watched more than 5 or 10 minutes of any NBA game since the Byrd - Magic duels... and I didn't watch much of those either.
I had no idea who the Cavs were playing until it came up on my opening screen. I couldn't name anyone other than James or Duncan on either team, and though most of my friends consider themselves "sports fans" not a one of them has expressed interest in the NBA period, or the NBA finals especially. They do follow college football and basketball and NFL football and to a lesser degree, MLB.
Perhaps it's the absence of a team in Cincinnati, but I think the following points from Frank DeFord are valid also: No game in the finals starts before 9. No Friday or Saturday games. Two weeks if the series goes 6 or 7 games. It's June already.
But then I realize that it wouldn't matter if there were a game on Saturday afternoon or 7 PM in early April, I wouldn't watch it.
So who watches NBA basketball? From what I can tell the NBA should just about be out of business, yet it chugs along.
