I havent watched a game in almost a year and a half. Just got tired of all the thugs, officials with their agendas and the league as a whole. Give me College baskets and even that can be hard to watch before the bracket. Maybe Im just getting old.

I feel the same. I stopped watching the NBA years ago. I wouldn't care if the league folded. I'll make a bet or two every now and then just for the action but I certainly won't watch it.

NBA is close to soccer as the worst sport to watch

**Ralphie1412** · 11-24-10, 01:25 AM

nope. and i grew up seeing michael jordan play at home 15 times a year and saw 6 championships. Its not as good as it was back then but I still love it. Corrupt or not I love basketball and Ill watch guys like Kevin Durant, Lebron, Derrek Rose etc. play ball any time.

**JOHON8** · 11-24-10, 01:25 AM

I watch the first quarter, then turn to the ticker until the last couple minutes if I got money on it. Only ever watch full games if I know it's worth it.

That's your opinion, doesn't mean it's right.

Yes, only my opinion. I just find them very similair now as far as taking dives and complaining after every call by the refs. I didn't always have this opinion of either sport.

**cubswin** · 11-24-10, 01:31 AM

I only watch Miami games, Its like winning a bet when they get their ass kicked

**Finalnub** · 11-24-10, 01:36 AM

I've come to dislike the nba over the years.. the last 2min takes 20min .. I appreciate the intricate strategies as much as the next person but puts me to sleep.

**MJFtheGenius** · 11-24-10, 01:40 AM

I am the same way except I stopped watching the NFL

about a year and half ago

too many corrupt calls, thugs, rule changes, not sure what rules are..etc

**Jive** · 11-24-10, 02:11 AM

A lot of NBA haters hanging out in the NBA forum!

I personally still Love This Game, but I can definitely understand why so many of you don't.

**Naz18** · 11-24-10, 02:25 AM

Stern and the Refs ruined the game years ago...only watch some of the playoffs really.

**antoc** · 11-24-10, 02:26 AM

money makes the world go round.

**SouthBayGame** · 11-24-10, 03:21 AM

It would be interesting to see the outcome of games without "star" players getting reffed differently than the other guys

**fedtpels** · 11-24-10, 05:52 AM

I only watch the playoffs where the games mean something. the regular season is kinda boring. I like bball, but it's way more intense in the playoffs.

**rem sleep** · 11-24-10, 05:59 AM

I still love watching basketball. Its my favorite sport to watch with football slightly behind.

**jjgold** · 11-24-10, 06:06 AM

I watc it

Hockey and soccer are just pitiful to watch..clumsy white failed athletes

**floridagolfer** · 11-24-10, 06:23 AM

If you add up all the pro basketball I watch over an entire season, it comes to no more than 60 seconds. I just can't watch it. No one's played any defense since the '70s. The entire product is unwatchable and a complete bore.

I don't know what's going to happen with David Stern's goal of reducing salaries by $800 million or more. If the league goes away over this, my life certainly won't change.

**Defuzas** · 11-24-10, 06:27 AM

I'm still lovin it, too bad I live in Europe, and all games except few on sunday afternoon, are in the middle of the night in Europe time, so no possibilities to watch them live..

**Rod1010** · 11-24-10, 06:30 AM

Nba is for pussies . watch a real sport like hockey or football

**soli** · 11-24-10, 06:31 AM

I don't watch the NBA as much but I do understand the game and I bet on games that I understand. Having a small group to watch and bet money on gives you a better chance to win.

**patswin** · 11-24-10, 07:23 AM

I stopped watching years ago

I will bet on it but can't watch more than a few minutes

**Shortstop** · 11-24-10, 07:29 AM

The NBA is simply scripted garbage. It is on the same level as professional wrestling.

You obviously know what's up!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, buddy!

**tripleblack1705** · 11-24-10, 07:58 AM

I bet just about daily on the NBA, I cannot watch though, it's unbearable.

**vitalyo** · 11-24-10, 08:01 AM

Same here ! I stopped watching this circus years ago !
Instead of cheer leaders they should try clowns it would suit the game much better.

PS .I love march madness

**Mr. Jones** · 11-24-10, 08:10 AM

Stopped watching about 5 years ago. Maybe watch part of a game once a month or so. Boring is the problem for me.

**jackmyhoggoff** · 11-24-10, 08:15 AM

FAKE $HIT !! Quit 8-10 yrs. ago ! NBA, WWF, MLB, NFL, anything PRO entertainment only that puts you to sleep!!

**Outlawdino** · 11-24-10, 08:15 AM

It's been more than 5 years or so since I sat down and watched any NBA games, partly because of time and disinterest.

**cario** · 11-24-10, 09:28 AM

Same here, stopped the last season, except maybe the finals.

80+ games?! I mean even players think that 50% of the games are pointless and you see it. Commentators are praising "effort-plays" and its ridiculous, they get paid MILLIONS and effort should be guaranteed. But no, NBA players cheat on their fans and make it so boring, that I can't believe this is still one of the top 3 sports in the US.

But, I have to disagree with the dudes who hate on the NFL. I know, Goddell is ******* moron...a ******* MORON! I can't repeat this enough, but I still try to watch as many games as possible, LOVE THE NFL.

I'd love to know how many NBA fans really have league pass or something comparable. I can't even watch the NBA highlights, excluded the TOP 10 once in a while

Well, of course, everything here is someone's opinion.

OT: Yes, I am also a bit tired of watching it... it's just boring and I don't find it as exciting as back in the days.

**The Bet Master** · 11-24-10, 09:35 AM

I hardly watch it, If i do I'll be watching the Heat. I hear how much the NBA is better than the NHL. Then I applaud when I hear that the NBA lost 370 Million dollars in 2009-2010.

**eddie0vedder** · 11-24-10, 09:40 AM

your all a bunch of sad *****, you have no place here if u dont watch the NBA, some games are shit, it happens but as a whole its pretty good and if your not watching but your betting based on whatever? you are retards. if u dont like it find another forum, go back to the mlb, the most boring shit in the world

**The Bet Master** · 11-24-10, 09:48 AM

This is a gambling forum, not an NBA forum.
