My father used to say "talk positive think cynical" as fans we abrogate the rules of common sense .We feel entitled to incessantly post trade ideas and this filters through the social media system to inhibit the building of team loyalty.These projected trades build a life of their own and are an industry in themselves.
The National talk show hosts drone on and on spewing their caustic contempt for the Celtics,Patriots and Tom Brady.
Paying players Zimbabwe like contracts justifies fans in their criticism
March madness my favorite time of year and then finally the playoffs and real NBA basketball.
Growing up in an era when you played basketball not video basketball. Someday i fear it will become 3D/holographic computer generated and the players merely projections as contracts and injuries become unsustainable.
Isn't TV just that, as we watch reruns ,slow motion and replays while timeouts are for commercials,jerseys with corporate logos The,cabaret like dance shows with catapults and automated weapons shooting parachutes, dropping gifts into crowd .
The endless parade of habitual hand touches at foul line and a jumbotron showing the game and replays even the players watch it while panning the crowd for characters to flash on the screen a real Barnum and Bailey circus..
82 regular season games replete with season and career ending injuries altering teams critically
Free agency and forced trades with players in control And loyalty being stretched to its limit
.TV games and gambling the fuel for all this nonsense supplying huge revenues adding to huge salaries on top of huge sneaker deals
In my era we watched TV games in black and white with the sound off and the radio on for Johnny Most
Last year i didn't bother watching the games live .I have League Pass and watched tapes.
Now it's chemistry and fun while rivalries melt into future alliances.
NBA going global and to Africa
And Celtics have another sideshow 7-7 Tacko Fall.
And the Celts have a 7-1 French center,Kanter 7-0 from Turkey, theis from Germany and Tcko from Senegal
The two modern day franchises to emulate San Antonio, the Warriors and the Larry Bird era Celtics
Until last week i had avoided any trade talk but i posted the Indiana connection just as value adding to a Pacers trade
This was a response to post of Romeo as a bust and Hayward not getting back to All Star form.I crossed my own boundary but it was just a bit
.Next thing you know i'll be calling out Brad and Ainge and join the trade this one ,trade that one and like that i'll become a precursor of what i fear.
