Does Anyone Actually Watch the NBA?

Serious Question to NBA Gamblers.

God Bless You if you can make money on this shit, but I give you even more credit, MUCH MORE, for being able to watch it.

The current NBA is Seriously the WORST “sports” product I’ve ever seen.

Olympic Curling is more exciting and competitive than this.

The only people I see watching it today random teenagers here and there who don’t know any better, because they never watched real basketball in the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s

So are you guys just betting on this without watching it???

I find it hard to believe anyone over the age of 18-21 can?

I prefer to listen to the radio broadcasts.  Chris Carrino of the Brooklyn Nets and Chuck Cooperstein of the Dallas Mavericks are 2 of the best.  My all time favorite was Brian Wheeler (RIP) former radio man of the Portland Trail Blazers.  I would literally get chills when this great one called the game.

 Anything has to be better than the TV product. I HATE this time of year between NFL and the start of MLB because the NBA is completely unwatchable.

All my nba bets are prop bets and I just check the box scores every few min, rarely ever watch. Part of that is just lame superstition and part of it is the game does kinda suck in a way

I like the NBA, but the season is a drag. Obvious issues with the game play....

MLB is primarily about who spends and the playoffs are more of a dice roll. It's hard to be a fan though of most teams if you need massive fortune to even make the playoffs most seasons outside of a few divisions where payroll is more similar (like the AL Central)

@Riggs-MLB-Picks

 I agree the product sucks,  but money is money, and when you get an opportunity to watch your bankroll grow, even paint drying is exciting,  sort of 

No just watch the scores 

That’s what I figured…

Literally no one is watching this crap!

Just curious to hear the Gambling side of this equation, as I could never bet on something I don’t watch.

Thank You for the responses

Nah not really. Although from time to time I watch 1-2 games a week usually the ones Im laying down big amount of money on. I got NBA League Pass but there are just too much Ads and everything is monetized. 

NBA athletes are the laziest of any sport. They come out on certain nights and put in zero effort. And other nights they pop up on the injury report right before the game for “soreness” or “illness”. It’s without a doubt the worst of the major league sports.

@brn2loslive2win

 That’s a great point.

Nba regular season is basically a glorified pre-season. The better teams will still make the playoffs or at least the play in. Nobody really cares about getting "home court" for the playoffs. The better team will win the series regardless so it's a non factor. 

So it's just way too many games for no purpose all. That's why you're seeing little effort and everyone being bipolar. Losses and wins don't matter. 

I actually torture myself by watching most of it.  So yeah. 

I only watch it when I know it’s going to be a good game for example Cavs vs thunder , Memphis vs Denver , thunder vs Memphis even Houston games are watchable vs good teams. All in all I pick my spots , and average about two watched games per week. 

The 4th quarter is fun…lol.  

durant is garbage

Since Adam Silver took over as NBA commissioner its been a terrible product and the players work with the scorers table/sportsbooks constantly. Sitting million dollar athletes most 4th quarters is extremely frustrating to watch as the fans are paying a premium to be at these games
