Poll
Question:
Choose One
Option 1: Roy Halladay Opening Day
votes: 7
Option 2: Sixers Playoff Opener
votes: 3
Option 3: Flyers Playoff Opener
votes: 3
no channel changing
gotta watch one of them and one only
I'll take Doc on opening day, but I'm a much bigger baseball fan than either of the other sport options.
Hahaha...I posted but didn't vote.
i like posting polls on boards with like nine active members...this one in particular was special because of those nine five of them only like the eagles
amend this dumb shtein to include errands and I'll vote
Polls are inherently flawed because people amass are retarded
All you need to know about how stupid people are is the fact that more people who voted would rather watch the first 1/162th of a 7 month season than playoff games for sports that actually require athletic ability. farging baseball fans.
hockey sucks

was sort of the reason i made it....i wanted to see the phillie bots line up at the cliff
That line of reasoning is as retarded as polls

I don't really rank my rooting interests based on athletic ability. People do that?
I have no idea gway people do. I know that I am a sports fan in general and a Philly fan in particular and I naturally prefer sports that require actual athletic ability. I also don't infestand how bbyone anywhere could prefer to watch the most meaningless of baseball games over a playoff game for another team that they root for. I mean Jesus, one baseball game is as meaningless as a sporting event gets.
Ha typos galore. Nice.
Football and baseball are 1 and 1a for me and there's a fairly significant gap between the Phils and Sixers on my "love scale" Bruce Ruffin could be the opening day starter and I'd still look forward to that more than a playoff game with the Sixers or Flyers. If it's the finals, then I'd probably go with the Sixers. Flyers would be a coin flip.
Only when I'm drunk icehole.
I shoulda got on here last night, that would have been a real good show
I drank about 100 bloody mary's then switched over to vodka/crans. My tab was 17 bucks. Not quite sure but I think my bartender miscounted.
And why would anyone pick the Sixers? Jesus Christ what the farg is wrong with some of you?
Yeah I really don't see the appeal of watching the opening game of a playoff series of a team that even if they play their best, have absolutely 0% chance at the championship.
Plus watching basketball sucks.
IGY can claim racism all he wants, but it's an awful brand (pun definitely NOT intended) of basketball that's played there and that's why people in Philly don't give a shtein about them.
have you actually watched a sixer game, fatty?
they are really fun to watch and are easily the 5th best team in the east. which is amazing considering how awful they were last year.
Why would I watch something I have no interest in?
i dont really care
just say i dont like basketball because im uncomfortable with the culture associated with it and be done
if you actually liked basektball like everyone else from philly youd really like this sixers squad
didn't take long for jewtard to fish with race
Basketball is fun. Watching basketball really is not. At all.
Baseball and hockey aren't a lot of fun to watch, either.
Baseball on the average day isn't. But the Phils now have 2 guys you have to watch pitch and 2 other guys you want to watch pitch.
Hockey is exciting as hell to watch...non stop action, physicality, fighting, dudes with ridiculous last names....good times.
the MA influence on this board really is something special
i like basketball quite a bit. i don't like the nba because the game they play sucks. just my opinion, of course.
the NBA game is all about offense, and mostly offense driven by a star or two on the team.
balanced team offense, defense, passing...these things are not highly valued in the NBA.
watching an NBA game is more like watching the Harlem Globetrotters routine (except the NBAers miss more), than it is like watching international professional basketball, or even college ball.
it's about showboating and trickery and "entertainment"
some people like team play and defense, Some like alley-oop dunks, ankle breaking drives and chest slapping.
On this board, the latter call the former MA.
im almost certain diomedes hasnt watched an nba game since 1997.
@ rome you have to be 65 years old
yes, i'm at least 65.
and nba basketball is almost as boring as your tired farging act, mds, although if i had to choose between watching an nba game and seeing you thrown under a speeding 18-wheeler, i'd probably choose the former, if that's any consolation to you.
the nba is boring but college basketball is exciting?
college basketball where a typical offense is to try a high screen and when that fails, have a player stand around the 3 pt arc until he sees a tiny hole and jacks up a contested 3. thats your idea of good basketball? and btw this player is only in college because he sucks and cant play in the pros.
explain yourself because the only realistic answer for people who hate the nba is they are simply uncomfortable with whatever stereotype theyve painted in their head about the players and the style.
the general misconceptions about the NBA game are pretty hilarious
Watching college basketball blows too, except March Madness makes it a bit more exciting.
Basketball is just not a fun sport to watch. A lot like soccer. Fun to play, excruciatingly boring to watch until the last couple minutes.
its ridiculous because if you actually watch the nba then college is really tough to sit through since the quality of play is disgustingly different
but if you listen to some random, old baseless stereotypes based on racism and ignorance and apply them to now i guess you get what we have here
Yep-the nba has no defense at all. None. The defensive players just let the guy go right on by.
Nevermind the fact that the offensive players have so much damn athletic skill that you never even think of the fact that it's just that difficult to guard someone in the NBA. Learn to appreciate that and you might just appreciate the game....but let's argue how pheneomanal a 1-0 hockey game is.
There's just nothing exciting about watching someone who's 6'6 drive to the basket and dunk the ball or hit a layup.
It's a lot more impressive when 5'8 kids are doing it in high school. And high school basketball is even more boring.
Oh I get it-but watching a guy ice skate and take 40 shots on a net with none of them going in is spectacular?
Please stop-my entertainment meter can't take it anymore.
Yes, it is actually more impressive to see less athletic guys make moves on an icey surface and still keep control of the puck and take pinpoint accurate shots at the net. Or deflect a shot from the point in. Aside from the occasional set up of the rush behind the net, there's constant movement and a lot of time spent in the offensive zones. And physical play. Roughing, fighting, etc.
Much, much more exciting than watching somebody take 10 seconds to dribble up the court, swing it out, get it back and drive to the net. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Throw some bricks and the occasional great shot in there.
Aside for the last few minutes of a close game, there's really nothing exciting or impressive about a basketball game. If I were 6'5 and super athletic I better be able to dunk or drive and hit a layup too. Impressive stuff. Don't really see what's so thrilling about an uncontested dunk, which make up most dunks anymore since the players are more worried about being embarrassed than going for the block...it's the equivalent of an empty net goal or an intentional walk.

No one in philly actually likes basketball. Just ask the empty seats in the 1983 playoffs.
And the fact that I was able to walk up to the gate 10 minutes before tip off in to 2001 finals and get tickets.
wow
this board continues to get worse by the day
Probably because will each passing day, you're still posting.
with?
Maybe. Autocorrect strikes again.
i love how charlie lies all the time to prove a point
lying about buying finals tickets ten minutes before the game is whatever...i dont really care people lie on the internet a thousands times a second...but that fact that he thinks that proves that no one in the city of philadelphia likes basketball is hilarious
anyway i can understand not liking hockey....its not easy to watch...its not our sport....no one can pronounce the names of half the league or identify the places they come from
what i cannot understand is how you could be an american male and not like basketball football and baseball
I didn't say "no one cares" like literally no one. Of course some care... but the city as a whole doesn't care.
And buying tickets right before the game is absolute truth.
no you didnt...and its like the 20th time ive seen you on the board tell a blantant lie to prove a point
you cant just say philly doesnt like basketball because everyone knows how ludicrous that is...so you make up a crazy story that you believe makes your argument thinking all of a sudden everyone else will be "damn really dood?, maybe philly doesnt like basketball"
Lying on the internet makes my penis bigger.

What are you, retarded?
You don't need to go to Philly to see any of those things the park, the rec center, or the gym. We used to go down to some of the public parks all the time to play pick up ball, and there was always a good mix of races there. We brought the only Asian usually.
Doesn't meant it's enjoyable to watch.
I sometimes wonder if IGY bothers to read the posts he quotes.
I can't say it enough...
I.
Like.
Basketball.
I like college basketball because of the pageantry & school spirit. There was nothing like going to a Big 5 doubleheader when I was a kid. I mean, that was it in Philly sports. The best of the best.
The NBA has always been at best a passing interest. Yeah, I got into it when the Sixers finally beat the Lakers, but not to the point where I went to a game in the playoffs (even though tickets were plentiful, even then). I didn't watch the parade on television and to this day I couldn't care less if the NBA is even in business. I'd rather watch women's golf than that bullshtein.
Sorry if having an opinion that differs from the Borg-like collective in this place offends anyone.
bunch of stillupfronts playing street ball, right?
How does that ignore function work again?
i know youre not racist, you just get pissy really easily and its fun to needle you.
but really, just admit you dont like basketball. because if you did and you think the nba sucks then youre just an idiot.
I wonder if mds actually types out the n-word. I bet it makes him feel like he's got street cred.

you like pom poms and funny hat wearing kids doing gay chants...you DONT like basketball...like the lil guy said if you dont like the nba you cant like basketball...its like saying i like hockey but not the nhl because in college hockey the school band is in the stands
you can not like the nba but like basketball. but the only people in that camp are racists.
and i know rome isnt racist.
