imtoomuch Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I read this earlier on ESPN. I didn't know that the NBA was expanding again, but I think it's a bad idea. The league will be watered down even more because of this. Too many teams and not enough professional caliber players makes for a degradation in the quality of the league and the games.

CatnipOligarchy Posted July 20, 2004 Author Share Posted July 20, 2004 i think 30 is a good number for any league.. 32 is a perfect number. the NFL is just right.. but 30 is good too. The NBA is way behind everyone else because it still only has 2 divisions per conference.. they are realigning next year. Eastern Conference Atlantic Division: Boston Celtics, New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors Central Division: Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Milwaukee Bucks Southeast Division: Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Bobcats, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Washington Wizards Western Conference Southwest Division: Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Hornets, San Antonio Spurs Northwest Division: Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Portland Trail Blazers, Seattle SuperSonics, Utah Jazz Pacific Division: Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings http://www.nba.com/news/realign_031117.html i dont think its expansion thats watering down the NBA .. there are enough good players out there.. its all the kids coming out of high school and the general "thug" image that the league carries. its going to get worse before it gets better.

baseballpro9 Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I will agree with the bad music coment...but I think the Bobcats will be fairly strong for an expansion team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmatik Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 What does he know about owning a team? Some people should learn from Master P. (Didn't he TRY to play for the Hornets? God, Charlotte must starving for some attention) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I will agree with the bad music coment...but I think the Bobcats will be fairly strong for an expansion team. Actually, I think they'll be one of the weakest expansion teams ever, personally... their draft absolutely sucked. They didn't even get a franchise player or someone that's going to be there longer than a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also picked up some great free agents left unprotected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Allen Veteran Posted July 27, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 27, 2004 Smart move on the part of the Bobcats if you ask me. Good way to draw fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
