Not sure how the average person on the street can watch today NBA

[carolinakid]

I watch about 10 mins or so of the Boston game last night and was bored to death, nothing but street ball play and one on one, give me college and across the pond basketball...give me your thoughts forum

Way to many 3 attempts. If the 3 line was taken out and make half court shot 5pts, there would be 50 half court attempts/game. Player feel more godly when they hit 3s

I agree completely , still entertaining but not what it used to be.

 

[carolinakid]

yep i said the same thing 3 shot after 3 shot in the shot time i watch it

 

[carolinakid]

back in the day when magic was on the lakers and bird on boston that was when nba was great not now, i bet it some but im always watching the numbers in the game, not the game itself, give me the across the pond basketball today

I have had this same thought for the last 6-7 seasons. The game has been dumbed down to either a 1 on 1 streetball event where said players are taking that shot no matter how bad it has to be or a 3 point kick out fest while everyone on defense stands and looks to see if it's a make, very little keep all 5 guys involved n organized kind of play.

It's still more entertaining for me than say Soccer but not by all that much anymore.

it amazing the excitement of college basketball and the fans to what the nba is today imo

the top 100 top rated TV ratings had 0 for NBA

Regular season I can barely watch anymore. No defense. Playoff elimination games closest thing to old days of the league…

It’s a lot better than college if you truly understand the game well

NBA players are just so much higher quality than college, way bigger gap than any sport

I remember watching the NCAA tournament and being astounded by the lack of talent in the college game

I don’t really get the 1on1 comment. There’s a lot of high pick and roll action for teams, but also plenty of motion based offense. It’s just way more difficult to defend against NBA teams since they’re s

Only criticism is a little too much 3 point shooting

 

[stormtrooper8]

The offensive talent is just so rich and deep at this point. So many great players

Ratings wise they’re doing just fine . Some of the highest rated playoff games in years I believe this post season

 

[carolinakid]

there is no way it better than being at a top rated college game imo

My son loves it, but he’s from a different era & these young kids love flashy handles & 3 pointers galore.

 

[carolinakid]

yep that what it is JDS, imo you hit it right, most of these kids today do not stay in college long enough to learn defense and thus we have nba street ball

 

[BMR Genie]

The game is more entertaining if you watch it with a group of friends.

Going to a hyped college game is fun, no doubt

But playoff NBA ball is top notch. They can coast a little bit in the regular season but the talent gap is just so absurdly high

College hurts to watch guys brick open short jump shots

 

[stormtrooper8]

That title game in NCAA this year was just……awful

Also goes without saying that the postseason system for college, even thought it’s entertaining, is just objectively so bad in terms of determining a champion

 

[carolinakid]

just think back about what the nba did to the all star weekend, just a bad product all around now for me, i would rather have sex with martha stewart lol

You just shit all over March Madness like Taco Bell diarrhea lol.

Nearly 40 percent of respondents in a new Harris poll said they were watching less basketball because “the league has become too political.”
