Now that the lockout is over. The free agency signing is coming to a close. The couple of exhibition games are out of the way. I am trying to decide if I am ready to watch NBA games or do I want to wait for a couple of weeks.
My decision has nothing to do with boycott to show my disdain for the battle between millionaires and billionaires. It is simply, do I want to watch tired out of shape players attempt to play ball, or wait until they are actually in game shape. Over the next couple of weeks the millionaires will being working themselves into playing shape and the crispness of the game will suffer. I love basketball of all types and look forward to seeing quality games and great plays. I do not enjoy watching players bent over pulling on their shorts because they are winded, I do not enjoy shots clanking off the rim because the players legs are not under them and leaving shots short. I do not enjoy a player standing completely still as another player glides past them for a lay up and there is no defensive attempt. I also know that try as I may, come Christmas day, when I get home from work, I will turn the TV on and enjoy the return of professional basketball. So much for my resistance.
