I don't know if I'd call it the best playoffs. The Celtics/Bulls series was great. The Magic/Cavs was alright. I just love that the Magic pulled off the upset. Everyone (even the NBA with their promos) was getting ready for the Cavs/Lakers - LeBron/Kobe. Love that it didn't happen.

Many of the things Hama put into the filecards was edited out. The stigma hip hop had in NY or LA doesn't matter as much as how the viewed it in Pawtucket, RI.

Everyone (even the NBA with their promos) was getting ready for the Cavs/Lakers - LeBron/Kobe. Love that it didn't happen. And people always yammer on about the commisioner wanting to see certain outcomes and using the officiating to do so. If that was the case, Lebron would've gotten those calls in game six. My feeling is: If you're mad at the stuff going on off the court, I can accept that. But don't try to deny what's going on between the whistles. I think this NBA talk should be moved to it's own topic if we're to continue this discussion. Let's get back to filecard discussion and zulu's awesome project. |

Personally I think last years playoffs were better. ;)

you guys see the "new" filecards in the 7-packs, posted on the front page. They rewrote them all, instead of re-using the existing cards like had been happening in the rest of the line. The new ones are crap!! No military qualifications (spc. Altitude comes the closest but is a spc really an e-5???) and really bad quotes.
Horrible... Very disappointed.

Some last notes on the NBA thing (anybody want to keep discussing NBA or basketball in general, we can take it to PM):
Quote:
That's too bad. You're missing the best playoffs in the last decade and the maturation of the best draft class since '96. Add to that we are just now seeing the league fill itself properly with skilled players (the Euro/South American influx) for the first time since the addition of all those damn expansion teams. I guess so long as the stuff on the court is great (and it's better right now than it has been in a long time), I'm happy...
I just can't support the NBA anymore because of how the league office allowed (and continues to allow) team owners to hold local city governments and taxpayers hostage with regards to publicly-funded arenas. I realize not all teams do it, but since the NBA has a revenue-sharing system, the only way I can express my displeasure in a meaningful way is by not supporting the NBA as a corporate entity (which means avoiding watching the games and NBA-related merchandise) Quote:
It's not so much that I don't like the idea of professional basketball (see my response above), I just don't agree with how the NBA is run. To me, nothing beats the NBA when it comes to enjoying watching the game of basketball played at the highest level. The athleticism, the skills, and the coaching are just so much better than what you'd find in a college game. But given a choice between watching amateur ball or supporting the NBA the way it's being run now, I'd go with the former (but only just... if Euroleague games were available here on basic cable, I'd be all over them in a heartbeat).

And they don't know the difference between an E4 and an E5, not to mention they've changed the ranks of classic Joes for no reason, like Mutt, who went from Sp-5 to E6, and Tiger Force Duke, who apparently got demoted to E6. |

Hasbro really needs a fact checker on the filecards.
