    NBA Bubble Is Better Than The NBA

    Anyone else really enjoying the NBA bubble games?

    With only 22 teams, you get rid of the bottom feeders. Just shows how diluted the NBA is, such a better product with less teams. Competition is really high, most the games have been very close. Just watched the Suns beat the Clippers at the buzzer. Without homecourt, the playing field is really competitive.

    Maybe it's because I'm a gambler, but I'm liking NBA bubble games all day. I can't express how much I enjoy not watching garbage teams like the Knicks and Hawks.

    Naw, what I meant is that the level of play in the NBA bubble is better than what you would get in your typical regular season NBA.

    Home court is huge in the NBA. You should consider some longshots to win the title.

    I have been screaming for years than NBA needs relegation to improve league play. 25% of the teams are tanking games in hopes of landing a #1 pick with current system in place.

    NBA bubble play has been excellent. Great product. It’s just ball. None of the other crap. Amazing how well they play with no side pieces, club nights, Magic City episodes and a mostly controlled menu. I wonder if they are running trains on the housekeeping staff.

    NFL should really take a pause and get their shit together.

    I like the atmosphere, it's just the best ballers in the world without the glamour and distraction bullsht. No acting, no appealing to the fans to sway a ref. The guys that are zoned in show up to play and it's actually a sport. The only thing I'd like is if the networks would stop muting the mics when sht gets intense. I want to hear the yelling and cursing from the players and coaches

    We’ve never seen this before not at home courts you see the level of play is much more even

    Owners need to consider sacrificing some seats for the better quality. The room that's afforded for the players to go full steam for a layup or dunk on a drive and diving for loose balls has made it a better watch

    Screw the Black Lives Matter league. Ratings at a all time low . Course i still bet on these clowns playing in the BLM league. Just haven't watched one single game and will continue to do so.

    Houston is the most confounding team to bet on it against

    They play the dumbest version of basketball possible, Westbrook cannot shoot, and if they're not hitting 3's, it's just ugly

    Amen to this. Houston, Dantoni, Westbrook and Harden just the same over and over and over. Their window closed.

    Houston can beat anyone and can also lose to anyone. They are very up and down with their small ball.

    im enjoying the games but it’s hard as hell to cap. Teams seem much more even as the games are closer. I like the virtual fans. Haha

    Both of you need to Fukk off with your fake protest. How big are your pussies and how did it get so much yeast?

    and of course both of you are broke as shit. How about going Pro before you post about not watching sports in a gambling forum.

    True story. Houston is so hot and cold. You are right though. They could beat anybody or decide to take the game off.
