Villain The Foe Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I came across this randomly, and it really explains why I stopped watching the NBA after the 90's early 00's. The game today is like Fantasy Basketball, but actually on the basketball court. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philc1 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 The rules favor offense because players aren’t allowed to stay in defensive positions in the paint longer than 3 seconds plus the refs are all crooked gamefixers like Tim Donaghy plus the emphasis on creating super teams (all in the west and southwest) has made today’s nba unwatchable 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver is actually worse than Goodell if that’s even possible but he’s done it. Ratings are down 26% after they were down 6% for regular season the previous year while nfl was up 10% Hoarding all the superstars in the west and southwest no doubt is killing viewership as is the emphasis on offense and 3’s. I miss the Heat-Knicks series of the late 90’s when the score would be 75-73 call me old but that was more entertaining 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of my best sports memories. I grew up a Pacers fan, but seeing the Knicks be so bad for so long even bother's me as a Pacers fan that had respect for the Knicks knowing that you had to bring your best. Now they just give their good players away and sign bad players to legendary contracts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 The NBA is a friggin joke. Why people even talk about it at this point is beyond me. I totally believe this what the NFL aspires to be. All offense, no defense. Everyone plays the same way. Total Joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 The league is unwatchable. Harden will take 15 straight shoots in the final 4 minutes of a game for the sake of a streak, Westbrook won’t shoot and only pass for an entire 4th quarter for a tripe double and LeBron James is the biggest bitch superstar in the history of sports. He is now calling out his entire team if they are about “basketball as their life”. Meanwhile, he isn’t even remotely trying and it’s plainly obvious on the court and everyone knows he moved to LA to be part of the Hollywood circle. When you’re biggest star is a whiny little bitch who quits and complains and throws everyone under the bus and never blames himself, it’s hard to follow the sport. It’s so me first it’s not even funny. I stick to college hoops. 100x better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Every game is an ugly 3 point contest with no defense and low IQ shot selection Very unwatchable. It was so different just 3 years ago...**** silver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
