I would love to actually do a statistical analysis of the last 10 years of basketball, to determine just how much a lead in a basketball game actually matters to the final outcome.

Something like this:

End of 1st quarter, what percent of teams with a 1 point lead end up winning the game? 2 pts? 3 pts? 4 pts? 5 pts? Do it all the way up to 10+.

And then do it for end of half, end of 3rd quarter, 5 minutes left in game, 2 minutes left in game.

I'll bet that statistically, a lead of 5 points or less at halftime has almost no outcome on the final score.

Shocking.

Did you watch the Ryder Cup?

Now THAT was something.

I occasionally watch soccer, football, baseball or even boxing or UFC. But basketball is simply not for me.

As I said before, basketball is fun to play, but not so fun to watch, for me anyway.

Wow, that's completely opposite to what I would have expected.

But thanks for the link.

I don't follow basketball all that closely, but from what I've observed, it's now legal to travel.

I think they give you a warning after you've taken 6 steps.

Very large choke.

This is no funnier than when you sent it to me via whatsapp.

i think we all just need to get a grip and really not give a poop. they'll settle when they settle, whether that's in a month, a year, whatever. pretty sure we'll live without hockey.

aside from piqueur who is going batpoop crazy enough to give himself a knob burn I think most people don't really care....

What's the problem?

The NBA season is about to start.

I can't wait!

Go Raptors!

I can't wait to watch them box out the somethingorother, and drive the paint....dropping trays (!?! are they in a cafeteria - I don't understand) and hitting arks (Noah?) from downtown.

As you can tell, I'm a huge basketball fan.

I sure hope Vince Carter can get a triple triple this year. That would be awesome.
