I wonder will the ABA ever compete with the CBL, this league is plain silly playing in mexico and then having a so-called franchise in jersey.

The solid franchises (kansas, long beach) should try and join the CBA of USBL.

Hey Ronniefan I think we are heading for Rockford/Dakota championship.

And whats happen to all the regulars on this board, like all the Wizard fans and Lightningfan, and Uncle Buck ?

Default You have to make the playoffs first

Well, Gary has clinched a CBA playoff spot. Rockford on the other hand...

Can you say "Bubble Boys"? If Rockford does not win more than 1.5 quarter points against Gary (at Gary) and Sioux Falls wins all 7.0 quarter points against Great Lakes Saturday, then Rockford ain't goin' anywhere. The Rockford Lightning are still doing a balancing act on the bubble.

Hey not so fast! I've done the math. Solid ABA franchises is an oxymoron...but I'm not sure about Juarez because I don't understand the Mexican economy.

HA HA HA HA ! ABA Compete with the NBA? Gimme a break ! The only league that competes with the NBA . Is the NBA.
As for the Rockford and Sioux Falls Bubble ?
That game means nothing until after todays game. Does anyone know what radio station website might carry the game ?
Yeah the CBA website has the webcast. BUT, somehow it is not the same.

I agree. To compare ANY minor league to ANY major league is to truely compare apples to oranges.

Tonight's Rockford/Gary game can be heard over the internet on sportsjuice.com. You can click on the SportsJuice button on the Gary Steelheads homepage to go directly to the broadcast.

Sioux Falls and Rockford are doing exactly what I expected them to do nine games ago. They are trying to "back into" the playoffs. Instead of aggressively kicking butt, both of those teams now have to rely on some other team to get them into the post season--with only ONE spot available. I figured Gary was going to do the same thing and try backing-in (or back themselves all the way out of the post season), but I was pleasantly surprised (since I AM a Gary fan). I figured Gary to go 5-4 max over the last nine games, but they've gone 6-2 as of today to control their own destiny. Cool, I like that.

Default TOO BAD

It's too bad the ABA doesn't compete with the NBA. That would be cool.

Well Ronnie Fan,.................Hope to see you in Bismarck on either Tuesday, Wednesday or next sunday !

But as for hearing you ? I don't know about that one. Think you can get louder than the most obnoxious fans in the CBA ? ( And I do Mean obnoxious ! )

There are State H.S. Basketball tournements going on this next week in ND, so I hope that doesn't affect the crowds and fan base for the Wizards games. Hope to see ya there tho !

If they get a tv contrast with a network and a draft they might.
