I'm still stuck in the late 80's and 90's. I would rather watch ESPN classic and watch the old Celtic/Laker battles or Jordan Bull's playoff games then watch anything now.

I feel next season is going to be a great season, considering there is so much great talent in this years draft it will be interesting to see who gets who.

Yea it's really not fun to watch much anymore. I'll tune into the occasional Knicks game, but that's about it.

No, it's not fun to watch anymore...it's a handful of mental 19 year olds who can jump and look good on TV.

Even though they're down 0-2, watch the Golden St./Utah game this Friday night. The Warriors are playing a fun brand of basketball to watch, and the Oakland crowd will definitely get you pumped up.

I am a Spurs fan all the way. Seems like the only team without any hotshots. Just a team of well rounded players that like playing together. GO SPURS GO!

That is debatable...Well rounded players or a good team of cheap shot artists?!?!? Still if the Spurs win it all, which it looks like they most likely will, they will be plagued by the "What If" PHX had a full team for game 5...Which in my opinion the league screwed up because Duncan should have been suspened as well for leaving the bench and walking on the court earlier.

All the heroes of the game are gone, and they have been replaced by punks who don't seem to respect the game.

I was a one time Pacers fan (in the days of Reggie Miller, Rick Smits, Mark Jackson, etc) but I now find them detestable.

I really disagree with some of the points made about how the NBA is nothing more then single players dominating the game.

I think individual players dominate the media but when you look at the teams that have had post season success the teams with a group/No I in team, attitude have done the best. Look at the lakers with Kobe or the timberwolves with Kevin Garnett. Even Vince Carter went to NJ because he realized a single player can't dominate the league any more.

The teams that have done well in the post season the last few years have all had more of a team emphasis and I enjoy watching the post season because that is when the true players and teams come out to play

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
