NBA. No interest whatsoever in the regular season. Don't watch games. Will watch the later postseason rounds, though.

Why? Idk. It has become boring to me. Not enough real title contenders. And yeah, the NBA has always been like that. But maybe not to this extent. Cavs/Warriors is basically the inevitable Finals matchup. And that makes it hard for me to care about an 82-game schedule.


I shite on the NFL a lot, but I still watch games.

NBA- a bunch of guys running up and down the court trying to put a ball in a basket. Gets old.

The golden era was the 90s with the NBA on NBC theme.

NBA because it's basically turned into street ball and the refs call what they want, when they want, and who they want. No travel calls. Nothing. The Ticky tack fouls and the 37 timeouts towards the end of the game where it takes 15 minutes to play 20 seconds of game has completely turned me off

No interest in that garbage.

I feel the exact same way about the NBA. When I was younger I would watch a ton of regular season Rockets games, but I can't get into it because I know how tiny the chances are they could actually win a title even having one of the top records in the NBA. I'll watch their playoff series but I'll still do it knowing they won't make it past the conference finals.

The quality of basketball in the NBA has gone up significantly, it's just a shame it isn't spread more evenly across teams in the league

I still enjoy all sports, but I don't watch as much as I used to. As I've gotten older, it's become less and less important to me. I used to watch as much NBA as possible, this year I haven't watched a single game yet.

the celtics and the lakers literally own like half of the titles won

whats happening right now in the NBA in terms of parity is nothing new and it is not worse than it has been. its just how the sport of basketball operates. one or two players can dominate the league

I'm a big spurs fan so I watch some games during the regular season, but I agree that the regular season doesn't not matter much. Literally half the teams make the playoffs. And often teams with losing records make the playoffs. I wish they would cut down the amount of playoff teams.
