To be honest my interest in the NBA has dipped significantly and its a huge reason behind my low activity for the past year. The lack of interest has been due to a variety of reasons: 1) College 2) Football 3) The lockout - just turned me off big time. 4) Chris Paul trade veto 5) The Rockets - I'd rather be the Bobcats right now. The semester ends this Tuesday and I haven't had my cable for a few weeks now, so I've mostly had to stream the games and the first round has been a snoozefest for the most part. Should have it back next week so I'll see if I can't post around the gameday threads more often. Stuff like the trade deadline, draft and free agency spark my interest. I think I posted more on the trade deadline than I did all year long. I still love this community though, don't mind the dip in activity as much and I come visit this site nearly every day, its just I tend to lurk more than post these days.
