- no defense
I really only see NBA games if we're out somewhere and the bar/restaurant has the game on TV. Last night we went out for dinner and the Lakers/Celtics game was on. I paid attention off and on for a few minutes and literally all it was was the two teams running up and down the court, passing the ball around trying to get a look at a 3 and chucking it up. No strategy, no defense. It is completely unwatchable to me.

Is what makes this year's Cavs team even that much more enjoyable. They box out, pass and play good Defense. Yeah they get a bit too much showtime now and then but they have guys playing that demonstrate good fundamentals which I love.

When I'm not watching the Cavs, it's damn hard to watch a full NBA game. The fundamentals are nonexistent and it's just a hot freaking mess if shots aren't going in at a high rate.
You know, I feel the same thing about watching Buckeyes games and most other teams. Maybe it's basketball in general that is just starting to suck so much ass it's hard to watch all together?

Just randomly clicked on the Cavs box score tonight and there were 87 threes shot in that game. You fucking serious? The NBA is a travesty

Imagine being an OKC fan and paying hundreds of dollars to take your kids to that game and you get that. Fuck this league.
I want the NBA I grew up with back.
Sources: NBA looking into OKC sitting 5 starters
The NBA is investigating a March 7 game in which the Thunder rested starters Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren, Luguentz Dort and Isaiah Hartenstein as well as Cason Wallace.

Just let Vegas chime in and it'll make messy of it stop. They can't set the lines as closely when starters sit like that so some that know it's coming can be "accordingly" and wipe some casinos out with the right backing.

This is why fuck the NBA. Imagine shelling out a couple of hundred bucks to take your kids to see the Celtics play and this is the lineup they roll out...
That league is garbage.

That's a G-league roster. The nba doesn't care about its fans. There should be limits to bullshit like this. Want to sit one of your stars? Ok, fine. But to shelf your entire starting 5? Fuck off. People pay a lot of money to go to these games and you allow teams to run out a scrub roster like that? Ludicrous. Don't give that garbage league your money. That's not even to touch on what garbage the product on the court has become.
I came of age during the 1980s and 90s when the NBA was at its peak as far as superstars, drama, intensity, rivalries, etc. I LOVED the NBA. To see what it has become pisses me off so much.
