    How many are burned out with the NBA?

    Not interested anymore here. Not because I am buried from it or anything, just not very interested in NBA anymore. Shit league.

    No one is interested in the NBA this time of the year. Come April when the playoffs start is when it gets good again.

    Regular season is too long.
    At this stage 75%+ of the games are essentially meaningless.

    That is bad enough from a fans point of view but in terms of betting means that the element of motivation is tough to judge/quantify.

    Agree. Just a bunch of stereotypical gangsters flashing their tats and shoot fadeaways.

    I couldn't give a shit about ratings, college hoops is a better brand of basketball then this glorified street ball game.

    It doesn't matter ESPN only cares about the Lakers and the Heat.

    If you were making trunk loads of cash from the NBA would you still be "burned out"

    Of course not.

    the NBA has become predictable and boring. Its going to be either SA or LA in the Finals for the West. So who even cares about the first 2 rounds of the playoffs. At least in the other 3 sports, there is always a chance for an upset... never in basketball. And over in the East, its probably a toss up between BOS and CHI. So call me when its the middle of May, and perhaps I will care.
    And the NBA is only going to get progressively worse. As long as they allow for happened in Miami, to keep happening, this league will remain top heavy and have an utter useless 7.5 months.

    Sounds like a lot of whining from people that don't have an elite team in/near their city.

    Here in Southern California it's winnin time!

    By far the hardest sport to bet on and watch. You could be covering by double digits and in 2 minutes the ticket is dead. Like last night. I had Minny +7 and with 2 minutes in the 3rd it was a 9 point lead 2 point away from the push. Within those last 2 minutes GS goes on a 9-0 run to take a 16 point lead into the 4th. Once this happened Minny +7 was dead. I still enjoy betting on NBA, the wins are ok but the loses are even worse. I got grey hairs on my chin and mustaches cuz of gambling. and Im only 20. I need to give this shit a break before I end my life.

    The season is so long and many of these games are meaningless. Might take some action here and there but its kinda boring till the playoffs begin.

    Well why are you even betting on the Wolves? Their road record is 5-28. I bet Warriors ML and won.

    I agree with whoever said it sounds like the people complaining are the ones who are fans of bad teams. I'm a Bulls fan and this season has been great.

    Do you really believe the all-three-pointer-no-postup-whatsoever game of college basketball played in 2011 is better than 2011 NBA? I would rather watch fadeaways that often go in than another pitch it backward to the three point line fast break. And the supposed lack of effort in the NBA vs NCAA players is a total stereotype from a bygone era.

    Quit going to Vegas for the tourney several years ago because I realized that the tourney had become a huge bore overall, not worth fighting crowds to see it.

    I got news for you, the NBA has been top heavy for decades. And Miami isn't the first "big 3" to ever form.

    There are only "stereotypical gangsters" if you are the one doing the stereotyping. Which means that you are the one with the problem, not them.

    There is a huge market for the NBA and will do fine with or without you... Ya Digg!!
