    No point in watching first 3 quarters in NBA

    Just switch channel in 4th quarter..

    I swear the first 3 quarters dont matter at all !!!!!

    What a waste of time

    last 2 minutes are only part worth watching, it will either be decided during that 2 minute span or it has already been decided in a blowout, NBA boring boring boring but its where amazing happens though.

    You have to watch all 3 periods in hockey.. All 3 periods are crucial and actually matter..


    You cant open a bag of popcorn in the 1st 2nd or 3rd quarter of a basketball game ..


    Terrible !!! Basically trade buckets in 1st three quarters and then show up in 4th when it really counts.

    agree...not even 4th quarter...just watch last 3-4 minutes...most games are still tied at that point.

    The only reason that all 3 periods matter in hockey is because a ridiculous goal like the Vancouver goal to beat San Jose can happen at any point and the the determining factor in who goes to the Stanley Cup. Too much dumb shitt like that happens in hockey that plays way to big a role in deciding crucial things.

    I agree 100% with this statement. Basketball always comes down to the last few seconds, even if one team has a huge lead in the 2nd or 3rd quarter

    The worst part is when the game actually does matter (in the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter) it isn't even basketball we're watching; it's who can draw fouls and make/miss shots from the line. It's time outs. It's intentional fouls. It's running around on your side of half trying to kill clock. It's a mockery of professionalism and athleticism.

    It's really a pathetic sport when you come to think of it.

    First 3 QTRs are great for live betting. When Dallas went down big in the last two games you could get them close to +10.

    My uncle is a big nba bettor. Years ago when I was a kid he asked me why I'm watching the whole game. I asked him whay he meant. He told me " the last two minutes are the only part that matters and that is the only part he watches" I did not know until years later he was a gambler.

    apparently the majority of the US thinks the nba finals are amazing.

    Miami's victory in Game 3 at Dallas on Sunday night earned an 11.1 overnight rating, marking the 22th straight time a finals game has been the most-watched program on a given evening, according to Nielsen.

    Not a waste of time, can be a good money earner, teams up by 10 at half time, hit the other team for a nice ML, 4th comes around and you hedge out or ride it out.


    Its either watch the first 3 quarters or masturbate for 90% of the board anyway

    This is absolutely true. Unless one team is up by 20 or more it doesnt really matter

    Why watch the entire fourth quarter? Just watch the final 25 seconds!

    I will usually watch the last 6 mins or so, maybe 9. We all know the game is going to be back and forth, and will end in the last minutes.
    Only sport i can watch completely is football, every play has someone getting jacked the fuk up.

    I pay for the action so therefore I watched.

    If you like a short outcome, why not just play each quarter? It'll forces you to watch all 4 quarters.
