Roos, why do you miss tape delay? I rejoiced when KCAL stepped out of the stone age and started playing Laker games live.

It was a poor attempt at humor while showing that the "good ol days" weren't that good in some respects.

I learned you don't go nut-hugger shorts #1 in attempt to do the same thing.

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed it. Guess they're trying to look more "bloggy" now, but it's not working. Hopefully they fire their site designer and get back the old one (or a better new one) soon.

Illegal defense, not this "defensive 3 seconds in the key". Just call it what it is.
The old NBA and NBC theme.
When centers played like centers.
10 second line.
Payton, Kemp, Malone, Stockton, Reggie, Michael Jordan, Run T.M.C., Olajawon, Ewing, Robinson, etc.
And lastly but not leastly: The great Chick Hearn.

I agree, this new site is horrible but Stern would never allow the fans to alter his decisions.

I'm sure it wasn't his exact design, but most changes have to go through him.

hand checking
no zone defense allowed
