The fans that sit in the good seats at AAA [Miami's American Airlines Arena] are all rich people who have no interest in basketball. They just sit there and look at the court as if it was the Tv and American Idol was on... Then the camera guy zooms out and the fans in the upper deck are jumping, screaming and waving towels. We need to get the true fans shifted closer to the court... That would give us a true home court advantage... Fans screaming in the opponents ears from 10ft away... Similar to the [Oklahoma City] Thunder. Just make a rule, if you dont scream at the opponent then you can't sit there!

{NBA} Don't Lose Hope...
You know what drives me absolutely nuts? When a fan is watching a game and drops a line in the 3rd quarter that goes something like, "It's over, we stink." Nothing at a sporting event gets under my skin more than pessimism like that. I mean if it's your team and you bleed their colors, you better be in the game until the final buzzer sounds! Is that so crazy of me to believe?
Here is my messages to all you fans out there watching the NBA Playoffs, or any other sport in the future for that matter. Never give up, not until the proverbial "fat lady" sings. Because you are always just one play away from sparking the crowd, creating a rally that leads to an epic run that could lead to the come back of the century. That is what is so amazing about sports, the ebb and flow of momentum and how in one second, upon one play, everything can change.
Hey New York Knicks fans! Yeah, you, I know you like to grumble about your team blowing it... But it isn't even close to finished yet. Phil Jackson once said "A playoff series doesn't begin until the Home team loses." Never were there truer words. New York lost extremely close games to the Celtics in one of the toughest arena's to play an away game at in the NBA. The first loss came on an incredible shot from one of the best pure shooters to ever step onto an NBA court, Ray Allen. And, the second loss, came in a game where two of the Knicks "big three" were out of the game!
Keep hope alive Knicks fans, all you have to do is win 2 in MSG and the series begins all over again. And I will keep hope alive too, that not only the Knicks pull through, but that my Miami Heat keep on pushing, that they don't believe it's over either. Even more importantly, I will keep my hopes alive that in round 2 of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Heat-Knicks Rivalry will be reignited and the matchup I spent my childhood watching, will return giving this basketball enthusiast, a reason to pay for those outrageously overpriced tickets to a Miami Heat Home Game.

{NBA} "That's Debatable" Lebron/Wade Vs. Lebron/Rose
Here is our very first "That's Debatable," proposed by our very own Dr. Hoops Let's Get it On!
Dr. Hoops: Which guard would you pair up with The King if you had a choice? My gut says wade - he is a proven champion. But rose is more of a point guard and might allow for a more structured offense.

Sports Deuce
Here we are going to take a minute to explain what this site is all about... From the minds of our diverse contributors.
Dr. Hoops: "Sports Deuce" is when you talk s#!* about sports. It stems from the idea that the best ideas come while deucing. A man once said that one day, there would be an invisible helmet that humans would wear, in which we can control the tv with our brains! More to come on the helmet later. For now lets take a quick sportsdeuce... i'll be back later after my coffee :)
The Missing Link: I think Sports Deuce is the embodiment of the ambitions of a buncha guys who like to shoot the $%^t about sports and whatever else. I consider this a place where a guy can be a guy and take what we would've argued about during a game of Halo or at an Ale House over a brew, and turn it into something that, juuust maybe, the masses can enjoy. The Sports Deuce bloggers are a group of people that have known each other for a decent amount of time and all share some common interests, but easily have different styles of expressing their views. I think it will be quite intriguing to see if others enjoy the topics we talk about here.
