RE: NBA Finals - I'm pretty happy

[Mick Bergman]

I 100% agree with you Jon... the NBA is a bunch of crap and should not
be supported by anybody... I personally have never gone to an NBA game,
nor will I ever. I *ONLY* watch the NBA when there is absolutely nothing
else to watch on TV...

I think the biggest factor is now that the Lakers are in the finals, the

NBA will not be offering extra stipends to the refs to ensure they get 
there.  I expect the games to be called a bit more fairly.

I have decided the only difference between the NBA and the WWF (or WWE) 
is that the team that is supposed to lose doesn't lay down in the NBA.
