Another Reason to dislike ESPN........

Much like Bo Hamburger, I enjoy reading the Truehoops blog (especially the 'bullets' he does every few days).
In terms of ESPN articles, I really only use ESPN these days to catch up on the columns by Bill Simmons.

For my general NBA news I browse the ESPN headlines, but generally get my NBA news from the SBNation network. (www.sbnation.com/nba) and the team specific blogs for team by team coverage.

IMO the SBNation team blogs provide the best in-depth coverage of each team, with every team (as far as I am aware) having a dedicated blog full of breaking news, team specific discussion as well as fan posts for threads about trade ideas and other team/basketball related topics.

TR, I don't want to watch some of the teams you are talking about. I would rather watch mainly the best (LA, Boston, Miami, OKC, SA, Chicago) with a smattering of the rest. But I sure don't want your Bobcats & GSW & Memphis on high rotation. I am intrigued by the Miami situation. I reckon D-Wade is a gun, LeBron yet to meet his potential & Bosh overrated. I want to watch Boston v Miami in the conference finals & the Lakers beat whoever wins.

Why do ESPN make things like this? Because it's what the majority of people are interested in reading..
Honestly how many people actually care about the teams that are on the bottom of the ladder?
ESPN want to get the best ratings possible in order to make money, whats there to dislike about it? It's a business..

By you hating on this site, it's got ESPN more publicity from people reading this, who then click on the link. At the end of the day, it's just a business.

Thats gold Moses! Don't worry though, when Anak... I mean Lebron tries to do a 360 flip and dunk over Obie... er... KG's head, the Big Ticket will finally go Mel Gibson on us and scythe the chosen one off at the legs.

TR, I agree wholeheartedly in the small market teams being given a fair go, but its not going to happen with mass market media. Happily, we now have League Pass, so you can watch every Bobcats game if you want to online!
