Watch Golden State play Dallas on Tuesday night that game was awesome. The problem with the NBA is that a lot of franchises are being run by analytical people who realize its better to be 26-56 than 36-46 and a borderline playoff team. Thus, you have 10 great teams, 5-6 middle class teams, and basically the entire Eastern conference outside of Miami, Indiana, Chicago, Brooklyn which are honestly crap teams. Phoenix which is in 9th place in the West would be the 3 seed in the East.

The NBA game is a fine product if you watching good teams play. I just think watching Boston vs. Orlando or Utah vs. LA Lakers is a little rough. If the NBA Draft wasn't full of 19-20 yr old kids who aren't ready for NBA rotations the league would be better. The NBA draft has turned into the MLB draft you are drafting prospects for the future instead of immediate help.

The NBA should be able to look at the NFL and see how the NFL Draft helps drive their offseason and most of the fans know the top NFL draft prospects because they have developed in college, but the NBA draft doesn't do the same thing because these Freshman/Sophomores are coming out because they want to get paid to develop. I have no problem with the kids leaving early it is just hurting the NBA's lower classes ability to turn it around faster.
