the finals take way to fuckin long to complete......seriously wtf? if this goes all 7 we could be watching basketball for another half a month?

i understand that bball is a tiring sport.....but hardly enough to take three or more days in between a game.....its not like these people are on the court fo the whole fuckin game?

step it up and quit smoking buds BBALL players....:confused:

they give them a week rest to get ready for the finals just like the superbowl becuase they want the teams healthy so no one gets hurt and the stars are healed up and ready to go. they do get a couple of days off here and there but in the nba usually 8 people play for a team while the starting 5 usually plays about 35-40 minutes of the 48 minutes. and kobe probably plays 45 minutes. it sucks waiting another day or 2 but its for the best basketball games.

you need a rest in football.....bball is different......and they only started giving weeks rest between champ games and superbowls recently....





it was a rant but it is still pretty lame that bball players need so much rest....

it is pretty long but nothing is worse than baseball. It's already one of the boring sports to watch and yet they play like 8,000 games in the regular season and another 2,000 games in the playoffs. As soon as the season ends the players are in training camp and the first game is about to start. wtf

So is 34 bowl games in college, but i love CFB and the more the merrier. Wouldnt you like to see the Bears play 52 weeks?

You dont like bball, so of course you think the season is too long.
Actually I think the NFL is almost perfect the way it is. In fact, I'm in favor of cutting the pre-season down to three games, possibly two, and I'm against extending the regular season by one game.

When I was a huge NBA fan I thought the season was too long. the first quarter/half season is meaningless. The playoffs weren't as bad though back then because the first round was best of 5.
