Now the NBA is essentially a commercial spot filler. Flipped to the Kings/Spurs game yesterday during NFL breaks only to see another team (the Kings) mailing it in What's the point when 2/3 of the teams are incapable of contending for a playoff spot?

It's brutal. And the fact that one team makes that much difference that their absence causes an entire team to just give up. They made it to Game 7 of the finals! Imagine the Jays had Guerrero injured for next season and they just said, "Well, we're the worst team in the league now might as well embrace it."
I also hate "load balancing" where most star players won't play back-to-back, etc. Just awful. And like you, I loved the sport in the 90s. Was a big Sonics fan.
