Why I cant watch the NBA anymore

[Kyleben]

reason 1. I dont enjoy watching free throw contests
2. most of the stars in the league are just freaks of nature, not good basketball players(and those that report the NBA dont seem to ever see that)
3. Why do I have to see David Sterns face every time he is at a game, I don't really care if he is there.
4. the fans only care when the team is good.
5. There is no such thing as a upset yet everyone acts like there are.
6. teams winning by 40+ points in the playoffs, in a league that rewards teams for being bad(the draft), has a salary and extreme luxury tax, a 82 game season that rids the bad teams, HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN.
7. Interviews with coaches in between tv timeouts.
8. why do you get suspended from the playoffs after 7 technical fouls. I thought getting a tech was the penalty, if a tech isn't sufficient why not make it more harsh. But no the nba came up with a random and said yeah why not. What if a team plays all 7 game series or multiple over times, there is o much wrong with this rule you have no idea why it exists.
9. I think i just saw another free throw
10. Wowwww lebron just made another free throw hes so GOOD!!

thats why i dont watch NBA its so boring its a free throw contest if you learn how to flop and shoot free throws you will be an all star in the NBA i say each player gets 10 free throws and who ever makes the most wins the game it wont take so long to get to what its going to end up being at the end anyway

I never really watched the NHL but this year someone told me to watch and now NHL is the best playoffs there is

[Cash Capper]

hahah...agree, nba is trash.

No i have been doing very well, I use a system that I described, and posted all of my plays on this forum(i was paid to stop posting), check out my prior posts.

This isnt one of those, "the refs only call fouls on one team", "kobe sucks", "everbody is out to get me", This is a simple critisizm of the game I love changing in to something I dont like anymore. I am not one of these old timers who things everything in my generation is better than everything else(im only 22). The change in the play seems to have happened in the last few years.

Alot of it can be traced back to two different events 1. the brawl in indy, and 2. retirement of MJ. I think most of these issue will be solved with time, i just hope they happen in time.

I respect people who enjoy the NBA, but I am not one of them. I like to make picks on NBA games, but to watch entire games, day after day is not for me. I wish I did get a high from watching the NBA games and I am envious of those who do. As for the NHL playoffs, I really enjoy those games, but there are people, a lot of my friends, also who dislike NHL as much as I do the NBA.

Nothing wrong with either preference. We all differ in many aspects of pleasure.

[DeeWizzle]

I know everyone is entitled to their opinion and that is just fine with me. I just dont understand what Mj's retirement has to do with more fouls being called, interviews with coaches during timeouts, David Stierns face on tv, suspensions for T's and so on and so forth.

As for the rest, MLB speaks to managers between innings, Suspension's for technical fouls are handed out in the regular season too. NHL also suspends players after reviewing penalties that already resulted in a punishment, there are upsets because there's always an inferior team and if they win that is an upset.

Of course the game has changed, but it has in every sport. Rules change, players change, and refs change.

u were paid to stop posting??
who paid u??

[jsmithj88]

for me one of the most annoying things about the nba are the crappy nicknames
CP3, AI, melo, black mamba, etc
corny corny corny
most of the nicknames are made by shoe companies
CP3 is the worst nickname in my opinion, it showed 0 imagination

[Skalatharx]

I bet NBA but I like allot of peeps can't watch full games, bring on the NFL season

[Skalatharx]

Could it be Robert Fail Train Ferringo??? He needs all the help he can get.

[Emily_Haines]

Are there any NBA players without 50 tatoo's?

2. most of the stars in the league are just freaks of nature, not good basketball players

BINGO

Let them walk into a store and try and buy a pair of shoes or some pants. Wont happen. Its a freak show.


But I still bet on it. LOL

I was just watching the pirates/Cubs instead

[RoagBettor]

Other than Game 3 at Orlando these have been some great playoff games. Lebron's 3 in Game 2, Kobe's 3 in Game 3.

The NBA is not the same as it was during the Jordan/Magic/Bird era, but there's still some good basketball being played. The biggest problem is with the officials who control the game.

What? You can't just throw this out there without an explanation. Who is paying you and why?

[ijustwant2bpaid]

i was paid to stop posting when i first signed up as well, first by a website who wanted me to stop posting about their payout practices and then by someone i cant mention who wanted me to stop posting picks, I think my 6 months is actually up though, picks will come again soon!..

[Kyleben]

The people who pay you to stop posting don't want to be identified, because they probably wouldn't be accepted on this forum, they buy your picks for a certain period of time for there own use or for a company websites. Im sure im not the only one.

[L2Gunz]

if you dont like the NBA...too bad..dont watch it!!!

I think Bird Man only has 49.

[peterblades]

lets go magic teach a lesson to these f....kers

[reno cool]

interviews during games have to stop in all sports. I can't stand that shit. They're players not diplomats.

NBA was last worth watching in the early 80's. Afros cool, tattoos suck.

[RICHIE801]

NBA is tight as ****, LeBron was just a few feet from another amazing shot, watching these game without dough on the line is much more enjoyable, I stopped betting NBA this year after Cavs blew Game 1, no need to give back any first and second round winnings, these NBA games are very tough to cap this time a year. Cant wait for college football!

[Tsoprano]

The NBA is one of the most entertaining sports to watch.

[Jerry Seinfeld]

This part of the sports year is boring to me (no NFL, CBB, or CFB), so capping the NBA makes it much more enjoyable to watch.
