    I am not missing it at all. I just decided to watch more NFL.

    But I haven't been watching much NBA ball for years. Grew tired of the superstar calls and all that. But I was/am looking forward to seeing the McHale era Rox.

    Yeah, it's not like Jordan was ever officiated like a superstar in the 90s...

    Did not make that argument. He was and I didn't like it then. I just really grew tired of Stern altering rules and loosening officiating to promote the new crop of stars.

    I enjoyed watching the recent rugby world cup. France were cheated out of a win by the ref in the final.

    Saying **** the NBA is geared more towards **** the situation that is going on.

    Doesn't mean people don't care about it.

    There are way more people who were saying that they were through the NBA, period.

    Way more than the first lockout

    based on all the grief the rockets management has brought me recently, i may actually need a break. I really don't care about the other teams tbh.

    I would probably watch about 60 regular season Rockets games this season (attending somewhere around 5 if I can afford it) if we weren't locked out, and maybe 10-15 more NBA games the Rockets aren't involved in. So, sure there is an entertainment void. (I watch less than 5 hours non sports TV a week).

    However, even before the work stoppage....refs blatantly manipulating outcomes, the fact the first 42 minutes of about half the games are essentially meaningless, then the 6 minutes of endgame that do matter are interrupted by 8 timeouts and take about 45 minutes to get through. Sort of is starting to sour me on the sport.

    Don't get me wrong, if they get their crap together I will still watch...but it will be fewer games. And unless the Rockets improve I don't see myself at the Toyota Center, you could stand up and cheer now if you weren't all schmoozing in the bars, tomb much at all for a while.

    I miss it! I need to have that perfect balance of basketball, football and soccer so that I can truly be happy.
