Am I wrong to say basketball is dam near unwatchable?

TopShelf11 · Jan 18, 2014

My summary of a basketball game on TV:

Bunch of guys who would be in prison in it weren't for basketball.

Bunch of zebras blowing a whistle every 10 seconds.

Players who cry after every whistle, saying things like 'sheet man I ain't commits nothin foo'

Now most guys including myself would bet on shit sliding down a wall if we thought we had an edge, but now that I think back, I don't remember the last time I watched a basketball game that I didn't have money on.

This stuff is horrible.
I was on Kentucky -7.5 earlier:smoking:

I hate all the foul calls this year

don't really watch the NBA until the playoffs and then watch the 4th qtr

except if a UConn alum is playing

, then I'll watch while he's in the game

Bowling^&% agree unwatchable

The fouls ruin the sport. Boring piece of crap. Also how about raising the fucking basket? When they designed the game they didn't know that giant black men would one day be playing it and walking up to the basket and dunking the ball.

here is an example of why u cant bet or watch baskets
pitt gettin 4.5 trails by one with about 10 seconds to go
15 minutes later they lose by 5. zero buckets were scored
ncaab had a good thing going, its all but ruined

KingofNicotine · Jan 18, 2014

Look at tonight's Heat game. They're losing to Charlotte again. Will they make a comeback in the 2nd? Nobody knows. The NBA is too unpredictable.

halekulani · Jan 18, 2014

this yr is just particularly bad with so many injured star players, esp in a pg heavy league

this.

And when you throw in 40 minutes of commercials in a 2 hr game, yuck.

Been kinda scattered brain today so I apologize for the rambling...but isn't the amount of players whining after they're called for a foul at an all time high??? Seriously, I don't remember the last time a player in the NBA or CBB just accepted the fact they fouled someone.

I understand how forums work, I do find it a little enjoyable to get the mentally unstable wound upShush()*

Have a great night, pal.

Mentally stable in 3 2 1...and here he is.

Just kidding, but did you read the thread? I don't watch it unless I've bet on it.

TopShelf11 · Jan 18, 2014

Football.....watch without a bet on the game, hell yes.

Basketball.....watch without a bet on the game, uh I'd rather eat a dog turd.

I'm sorry I got you so wound up.

motowner · Jan 18, 2014

the only people who watch basketball are bettors. college hoops has been horrible for 15+ years and the NBA peaked in the mid-80's to mid-90's.
