    Dislike for the NBA

    NBA is my least favorite of the popular sports in the USA I had started watching again this during pandemic and had fooled myself in to thinking I liked it more than I thought!! The last couple of weeks have reminded me why I have such a the dislike for the sport!! Is it just me or do the players, teams and it seems like everyone connected to the NBA always have an excuse or complain about everything that don't go the way they want!! No respect for the fans, networks or advertiser that's the reason they can play a game and make millions for it!!

    Lol, just gamble on it and watch the talents of the great players. Baskebtall players and coaches always complain, even overseas.

    There's nothing like the flops in soccer though lmao.

    If you want just a pure sport with not much personality, I would suggest hockey. NHL playoffs are great. And nhl players are straight business, the game goes according to conduct. Fast paced. No one really complains. You get to see fights. Maybe you will like NHL more.

    I agree, ...All the players feel entitled. Bunch of crybabies
    Every single play theres a player crying to the refs instead of concentrating on the next play.
    All the flops and pushing your body into another's to get a foul call is atrocious, its unwatchable.
    I do wager it and is the only reason I watch
    And when I watch it.
    its the 1st couple minutes of the game and then the last 5 to 3 minutes of the 4th quarter. Because that when most really count.

    The games are unwatchable due to all the fouls called. It has become a free throw contest and who gets the most rebounds instead of who can make good plays and score.

    NBA needs to remodel the floor to make it harder to get 3 points on a shot.

    Hard to argue with this. NBA is the most beatable sport( some say otherwise but I can't understand why). Nfl is second. Both of these leagues are all situational.

    Great era.

    Ben Wallace was much better than Gobert though. Ben Wallace could guard shooters out on the perimeter. He was very fast on his feet. Gasol could never do that, but he'll play offense on the other end at least and make up for it. Gobert can't do either, but he gets paid 200 million for standing inside the paint.

    Bubble playoffs were great and this year the playoffs had so much potential.

    Even then with the players we are left with, there has some historical stuff on the court.

    Becoming more and more fun to watch the NBA playoffs, but I'm one to keep emotions out of it so the wild swings don't really even register on my needle. In fact none of it does.

    Nothing surprises me anymore.

    More timeouts = More $ from ads

    Same with the 2 minute warning in NFL

    It's all about the $$$$

    Well of course but I think they can go with 3/2. Seven is too much. It's the only sport with such a short game as well. 48 minute.

    This thread should be titled “every other thread on SBR during basketball season”

    The only person I really agree with is Goat honestly, bet on the games watch some of the world’s greatest athletes do amazing shit and enjoy something in life for a change

    Kevin Durant put up a 49 point triple double the other night. One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. Yet no one here seemed to care.

    Enjoy yourselves. Life is too short
