re: Long-time Basketball fans - how do you watch a game?

I pay attention to various aspects of the game at various times. Sometimes ball watching, sometimes watching specific players. It really depends. On an in-bounds play for example, I'm watching the motion of the offensive off ball players to see who they are trying to get open, and how they are trying to do that.

I also tend to have a box score of the game up while watching to track stats, fouls, etc...
