I don't get why people watch these games. My over 30 men's Church league games are way more entertaining and competitive.

The sad thing is, it would be compelling if they could come up with a way to make these games interesting again. With all the money on the line, there just is no incentive.

Extra lottery balls. Home court in the finals. Financial incentives and payouts, etc. Or just let younger, hungrier players play the games, who need to prove themselves.

Or they could just hire a commissioner who had a set balls and wasn’t an extraterrestrial.

Is this the game thread or the bitching thread?

I’m just surprised there’s no anti LeBron posts with him sitting out due to injury.

Home court in the finals.


Remember when they did this in baseball and all the stodgy purist fans rioted?

40 will be fine for 3 games if the players actually play defense like they are saying they will.

I’m guessing they won’t

Im rooting for the Rising Stars team.

$125k is a drop in the bucket to everyone else. I expect they will play harder
