I am a B Ball fan but I do agree the game has gone way down hill over the last 15 years. Regular season games are simply "go through the motions" events. Got to be the laziest bunch of athletes during the regular season. In the playoffs they do turn it on. The threat of elimination has a big motivational influence. Its too bad there isn't a way to get that kind of motivation into the regular season. Anyway , I'm happy they will be playing this year.
On a different subject , no B Ball team should ever be called a "Dream Team" except the 92 Olympic Team. I think Miami last year would best be called a "Fantasy" team. In the end there was nothing real about them except their egos and high salaries.
