The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[KafkaX]

Yeah those were the days. I still remember waking up every sunday to the NBA on NBC theme song.

Agreed.

Do you still watch at all?

Man, do not go there again.

I followed NBA like 20 years ago because it was enjoyable then but lately I just think it's a bunch of thugs running around who happen to be athletic. I was partial to Chicago. I watched their games all the time.

Sounds like you were never truly a basketball fan.

Athletic thugs?...Theres less crime/drug abuse/domestic abuse etc in the NBA than in the NFL, but...Ok. I think thats just a ignorant judgement more than anything. Go stick to a white mans sport if you are worried about "athletic thugs". NHL and MLB seems more your liking, their crime rates are substantially less.

I used to watch Chicago too, even though I hate their home court wasnt easy on the eyes. They had some solid players just a few years ago, but traded them all away.

EDIT:
What happened to Jeremy's "Shots fired" post? That shit made me smile

Nah, i stopped following up with that league a looong time ago. But i've enjoyed the few games i've caught this season. Looks like all the clowns that drove me away from that sport have grown up and turned into actual "professionals". Maybe Timmy and the Spurs pounding on most of them on a yearly basis taught them how to carry themselves better.


Turning 31 this weekend

Undeleted it just for you, Cody.

Like, like, like.

Anyways, my coworker (the fat unattractive one) just texted me two new pics of her self. One of them she's naked in a pool with two other girls and a guy.

Happy Friday!

This.

Also, the NFL is filled with dumb, uneducated fools. I'm so glad the NBA stopped drafting people straight form HS, i think it's one of the main reasons that the league has slowly cleaned up its act.

I still can't stand the attention hungry, chest-thumping hipsters like westbrook though.

Happy early bday dude.

And yeah man, Westbrook is a fucking tool. The NBA actually discourages such behavior, and rightfully so, shit is stupid. Reminds me of one of my least favorite players as of late, and sadly a Laker, Nick Young. Or more formally known as Swaggy P...

The NBA is so boring. I've been to a game and it was pretty obvious most of the players were just jogging around until the last few minutes. Highlights do nothing to dispel that.

 

[Matt]

I agree. I just can't get into regular season basketball. The playoffs are great, though.

You can't run around the entire game.

I dunno man...I hear what your saying, but for starters, the court isnt really that big.. Its not like a football arena, or a soccer field...And when there isnt a fast break, or a steal, why would they sprint the entire game? Makes no sense. Its like saying, football is just a bunch of huddles, and hunched over dudes. And baseball is a bunch of guys standing around. Etc. On one hand true, other hand, its not the entire truth. Just gotta have the eyes to see it and the heart to care about the sport to look for it.

Its more about agility and skill, than speed. There are times, theyll drive it to the basket and slam it, but its so fast and short it might not seem like much. There will be steals and they bomb it down court to make an easy lay up, but its not that frequent. Etc.

Either way, its all good. Different strokes for different folks.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

A good NBA game is far more exciting than a football game. There's plenty of reasons why i dislike football, but one of the mains reasons is because of how slow the fucking game is. The ball is in play for what, 11-12 minutes? I'd rather watch one of the most exciting sports(when it's played right) than a bunch of guys in tights huddle for fucking 3+ hours.

 

[whiskey funeral]

I'm not big into professional sports at all but if I was forced to watch NFL or NBA, I'd choose the latter. Football is stupid boring.

 

[Dak]

Professional football has so much strategery on top of the tactics it blows pro basketball out of the water. College hoops vs college football on the other hand is another matter.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Basketball isn't too strategic, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's one of the most exciting and fun to watch sports(fro Anyway, baseball is by far the most strategic *team* sport.

Thanks dude Happy early bday dude.

Thanks!

 

[Dak]

baseball is by far the most strategic sport.

Yeah, throwing to 1st base 30 times before pitching is real strategic and exciting.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Like i said, so shallow.

You do know that it's widely considered to be the one of, if not thee most strategic sport that's played, right? But whatever, i don't have time to get into another useless argument with you.

edit: And just to throw it out there, IMO boxing and other combat sport are king when it comes to strategy and tactics.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Baseball is the most strategic of the big American team sports, but it's also the worst.

 

[KafkaX]

Ok seriously, how in the fuck is baseball so strategic? Like really?...

This has to be a joke.

this is from a "kids baseball" site but it does a good job of explaining some of the sports basic strategies....

IMO a pitcher has the hardest, most strategic, nervewrecking and demanding job in all of the major team sports. And yes, that's including quarterbacks.
