Ok, so there is a small chance I might return once in a while, but there comes a time to move on and that time has come for me.  I liked the NBA Boards when I first came on.  People said a lot of insightful things, things I didn't hear when I listened to the media or read articles by the media.  Unfortunately, as of late, a lot of people have just started rehashing things that the media is saying.  I am not particularly fond of the sports media, given their tendency to jump on bandwagons, obsession with the short run, very, very short memory,  and overuse of cliches. 

It's easy to say bad things about teams that just lost or good things about teams that just won, or say things like "you've got to make shots to win games" or "this guy knows how to win in the playoffs."  People have been saying stuff like this a lot lately on these boards and it's not worth it to spend minutes, hours a day reading that.  I get enough of the media as it is and these boards are turning into media hallowing grounds, so...I'm gonna sign off for the forseeable future....

Toodles, everyone.  Best of luck with life.

Playoffs = more homers, and thus more tools with nothing original to offer.

It will be back to normal in July.

I joined in after basketball was over, and the quality was beautiful. Yes, there were no posters here, but when there were, it was great. Just wait until after the playoffs.

Feanor....

If you have an office job or a job near a computer all day then it's gunna be reall hard to stay away.

Just like the posters above me said, it's all dumb homers that just listen to what the media likes and jump all over it.  It will be over come June-July.

Thanks for your contribution Feanor, I enjoyed most of your posts [but not all of them ] . Hopefully you won't resist now and then... Good luck to you to sir.

You won't be able to leave. No one has, no one will.
