I find the NBA somewhat painful to watch most of the time. Majority of teams play horrendous team ball.
Not to mention, you can't gauge a game until late into it. First half almost means nothing when spreads aren't DD and even then, any team can open it up in the 4th.
I personally can't turn on an NBA game and watch it from start to finish even when I have money on it. I usually start paying attention at the start of the 4th.
Exceptions, of course, are "better" matchups, as well as (with most long season sports) the playoffs. The NBA is all "my turn to shoot" and I just can't stand that sort of ball, being one who has played the game since I could walk and at the point guard position. Maybe I'm just biased.
What say you guys?
