Time for an obviously racist statement. We don't like the NBA... College hoops is cool with us, but there is something about the NBA that doesn't excite us in the least. We follow the Knicks, but that's just about it. Be it the punk lifestyle that too many (not all) NBA players seem to have, the inability of today's players to do the basics, like shooting or free throws, or just ESPN jamming everything NBA down our throats for the past decade, we don't know...
No, of course it's not a racist statement. Some people might see it that way, but we grew up on hockey, and Winter is always hockeytime for us. No, there is a lot less scoring than the 190 pts the NBA pops out like a crack addict per game. But, there is no doubt the skill level is much higher than in basketball. Need proof? How many of you can ice skate? Case closed...
Nope, the NBA may not play at all this year. So, with that in mind, we invite you to become a Hockey fan. Need a team to root for? Might we suggest the New York Islanders, whose coach, Jack Capuano, was the first coach for Florence's own Pee Dee Pride. Try it..... You might like it.

Go Flyers! Islanders...really? and I totally agree with you on the rest of this.
I went to college with Cap. He's a good guy who played briefly in the NHL but has gone on to an excellent career in hockey.
