I'm one of the few who definately prefers the NBA over NCAA basketball. I think one of the biggest fallacies in all of sports is that college basketball somehow has a better product than pro-basketball does. The NBA has far superior athletes who shoot the ball much better and turn the ball over much less. So yeah, even though I may get flamed for writing it, I prefer the pros.

No, I hate the NBA.......I haven't watched a full NBA game in years.......I might during the playoffs watch a little more.......but I always check in on a game bear the end to cheer for my wagered team.

NBA basketball is tough to watch.....I'll tune in for a wagered game or to catch a glance of Lebron but other than that, no thanks...I was spoiled with the Jordan era so I can't complain....

WildKat.....Sorry you have to endure the Dusty thing, too....I'm a big Cubs fan....

NBA is a much better product to watch....especially in the right matchup.

Sure people will say the heart and the passion of college but thats not true IMO. Plenty of garbage college games....NBA games in general are just better in terms of talent.

As far as the fixing thing goes I dont think they fix point spreads as some might suggest but I dont think totals get played with all the time by the players, refs and even the coaches and not just game totals, even the halfs but I also think this goes on in the college game....especially by the coaches.

PEACE
