A Day Without Basketball



May 17 08

Yesterday, there were two very entertaining Game Sixes. One saw a team move on to the Conference Finals, another set up what should be an interesting Game Seven.

Today, there is nothing. Unless you count the season tip-off for the WNBA.

I didn’t think so.

I’d like to believe that this was a scheduling quirk, but I have to believe that the NBA is trying to make us watch their women’s basketball league. This seems exactly like something they’d do.

Let’s be real about it: The WNBA isn’t nearly as entertaining as the NBA. If it were, there wouldn’t be a need to resort to tactics like these to try to get us to watch the games. And, before you call me sexist, I watch women’s college basketball. Something about the WNBA just doesn’t appeal to me, though.

So I suppose I’ll be sitting around tonight, not watching a basketball game for the first time in a while. If you choose to venture over to watch one of those “other” games, Good Luck.

if a season opener is one of the most exciting games the league has ever had, what does that say about the quality of the product? no one cares about the wnba, otherwise they’d have a longer season and wouldn’t deend on the nba to support it. good for you people who like it, people with a brain don’t. .
