NBA Lockout sucks! - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

zupertech · 10-15-2011, 11:44 PM

This is bullshit! NBA players only care about the money, not their fans! As for the owners who lose money, I feel sorry about it because these dumb asses doesn't like to get "underpaid"!

Wake up players, these owners worked hard to pay you guys....!!!!

why do I feel like this was copy/pasted from some tweener basketball forum?

HomeBusinessGuy · 10-16-2011, 12:22 AM

The problem is that a lot of these idiot owners gave max contract to guys that aren't max contract guys. Those max contracts should be restricted for guys like LeBron and Wade and Melo and Durant, not Joe Johnson and Rashard Lewis and Amare and Bosh and others. When that many guys are getting max deals it has a trickle down effect on the rest of the salaries in the league which has caused a lot of guys to end up being highly over paid. The owners are just as responsible as the players for that if you ask me. Just because someone wants a max deal doesn't mean an owner has to give it to him. So if the owners would have shown more restraint then there probably wouldn't be so many of them that are losing money.

The players union went into the negotiations willing to lower their share of the pie. The owners went in demanding 14% more.

Boo hoo, I'm crying for the owner of a team that thought Rashard Lewis was worth $23 million a year. The Magic owner is one of the richest people on the planet. I don't recall anyone feeling sorry when Orlando tax payers were forced to give millions to help build the arena where the Magic play.

And it's not just the owners who will "lose money." No season = no $23 million for Lewis

The revenue comes from the fans and they are paying to see the players. A lot of team owners don't involve themselves with the operations, and just own the team as a hobby or investment.

The NBA makes me imagine they took San Quintin prison and put all the players in colorful uniforms and gave them a ball to play with. I quit watching the NBA after the Jordan era players retired and the street thug wannabees came in.

I second the motion. I stopped watching the NBA when Jordan stopped playing for Chicago Bulls.

Players and owners should also think the money they are getting all come from the fans. For without the fans, who would ever dare to watch NBA. Perhaps, its the money that motivates players to play not the passion.

Fiver · 10-16-2011, 11:59 AM

Basketball is a fucking bore to watch. There's barely any strategy at all. Just run up and down the court and try to put the ball in the basket.

Football on the other hand has many layers of strategy along with more tactics that make up that strategy. Much more interesting IMO.

Choller · 10-16-2011, 12:29 PM

Even though I love basketball (and NBA) i like the lockout.

Gives me more time to work, and NFL keeps me entertained till February anyway.

I love/play both sports and that is wrong.

but yeah it doesn't hurt me too much unless it stops the majority of the season..the playoffs is when it matters

Scheme · 10-16-2011, 01:26 PM

How can you hate watching NBA on TV? Personally I like it better than any other sport, besides NFL.

PhilipShapiro · 10-16-2011, 01:27 PM

It hurts even more when you're a Knicks fan and your players already have their max contracts. The small-time players that get 10 minutes of playing time per game.. STFU and take your $1mm contracts. It's more than you'd make off the court and if you actually play well, you'll get paid more. This isn't baseball, there's a salary cap. You got involved in the wrong sport.

It's not wrong. Winning in basketball is mostly due to individual efforts. Everything is dependent upon what your best players do that game and there is no strategy that can be implemented to counter this by the opposition. You can't put 2 guys on Kobe the entire night.

In B-ball, there is no complex strategy going into a game. Nothing differs from week to week because for the most part, you are going to do the same thing every game which is to play to your strengths. You can't really expose an opponent's defense in b-ball because most players are evenly matched.

In football, you can expose your opponent's defense in many more ways because of injuries and the fact that a team can't be strong in all areas.

Those are just a couple of examples of what I mean.

Rage9 · 10-16-2011, 04:45 PM

I think it's terrible because it'll just grow the soccer movement more, and we all know how we have to protect against that shit.

It's football season.

They can double team him whenever he has the ball, but they have to strategically decide when and how to do that, as it leaves someone else open.

I can't think of a major sport besides football that uses as much strategy as basketball. Read some of this article :

Sorry, but you are completely wrong for the most part. Some players and teams are much better than others at defense and that can change the other team's offensive strategy. Different teams match up very differently.

If we just look at the NBA finals, Dallas had Dirk who is 7 feet tall and can score inside, but is also one the best outside shooters. So just his presence alone is going to alter Miami's defense. Another thing I remember was Dallas sometimes using 3 point guard types on the floor at once. They weren't just randomly doing that, and if they were playing a different team they might never have considered it.

Teams run a box-and-one all the time

Quote:

A box-and-one defense is usually used against teams with one dominant scoring threat. The idea is to try and shut that player down by forcing them to score against a dedicated man-to-man player, and a supporting zone

You obviously don't know the game of basketball and didn't see the Dallas Mavericks win as a team, beating out Miami Heat's individual all-stars.

Either way, I'm still enjoying my Mavs being the champs for however long this lockout lasts. Would like to see a back to back though while Dirk is still in his prime.

Haha wow.. Is kobe the only player you know in bastketball?

As a previous poster said, you should've seen the finals where Dallas took over my favorite team Miami.

Teamwork was the KEY! They sweeped kobe's team because of TEAMWORK and STRATEGY.

No offense but your post is very ignorant. You really need to watch more basketball to say the least.
