I guess I'm in the minority but I love watching and capping the NBA. Third-favorite sport overall but my second-favorite sport to bet on.
That said, I do think shortening the NBA season to 60+ games would be ideal. As long as we're back for the Christmas games this year I'll be happy.
And I would venture to guess that no NBA would increase the total number of CBB players but would hurt the guys trying to beat soft lines. With no NBA, more time will be invested by oddsmakers and lines will be tighter.
The people who rip the NBA are the people that don't watch it or don't understand basketball. The difference of level of play between NBA and NCAAB last year has never been greater.
If the NBA strike helps the CBB market at all then hope they never come back.
Do you have any concerns that it could hurt the CBB market, since it gives the books and other handicappers one less thing to focus on (thus freeing up more time for NCAAB)?
If it means more totals and/or lines on the typically "non-lined" conferences, then it certainly opens up more opportunities. But otherwise, am I missing another way that it could help the CBB market?
Miss betting NBA total's which by the way is 90% of my bets in the NBA. Also coming off a very good year playing Total's. So to answer your question Yes I miss the NBA but past results doesn't guaranteed future results. But again I really miss getting home from work at 7pm and not really having any sports to watch.
Have to ask Bay do you really care that they're not role models? I'm of the opinion (Like Mr. Barkley) that parents should be your role models
I hate the greed, esp in this economic environment. I have multiple friends who are victims of layoffs working PT service jobs, effectively wasting their
education, just to take whatever they can get. I know they are far from alone, as you see it on the news (1 in 6 families living in poverty, all time high, etc).
With all that kind of news, and these greedy F'ers, I hope they don't collect a dime this year.

This is exactly what I was going to say..

I'm sure plenty of good seats were available.
Yes, I'm sure they'll be back by Christmas. Atleast I bet(prop) they would.
Handicapping as well!!!
