    When did the NBA become a joke league?

    I feel like the NBA product has become much like WTA tennis, trash.

    Was this the first year where 20 point comebacks became NORMAL and double digit favorites lost EVERY night? Feels like it, I don't remember the NBA product being so low then it is now. Its embarrassing to watch how low level these guys play

    I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say players/coaches are throwing games on purpose.

    Just tonight as an example.

    Hawks rest their who damn team and win on the road as 15 point dogs. Hawks are awful yet ...only in the NBA.

    Only in the NBA.... worst team in the league up 30 midway thru 2nd qtr against the "MVP"

    Every night something absurd happens like this. The modern game is complete shit...

    These are no longer outliers but common place

    Did you catch last night's T'Wolves/Blazers game?

    Minnesota was 1 for 19 from the field in the 4th quarter until there were like 30 seconds left.

    1 for 19.

    Both teams just walking up the court. Standing around. Zero effort on the boards. Zero effort defensively. Minnesota missed open look after open look after open look....

    I sure did. Its like none of these guys qualify as pros anymore.

    Ive seen teams get outscored by almost 30 in the 4th quarter and fail to cover a line by a point. 30!

    Now watch OKC come back and win tonight.

    It really is gross

    thats what I'm saying, a team will score 42 in one quarter and 13 the next. the talent level is pure awful now, teams can't even hold 10 point leads with 30 seconds left lol

    Maybe you shouldn't be betting the NBA until the playoffs. Try to stay away the last 2 weeks Crap like this happens in every sports when teams are eliminated and play guys who didn't play all year. The 4th quarter of the NBA games is like Wrestling all year or the 4th quarter on those TV football games anything can and wil happen to have an announcer making a joke about the last few seconds having people on the edge of their seats
