How many Games a year of the nba season do one watch.
Also Do yall feel like by watching the games it gives you a edge, some cappers feel like your eyes can lie to you sometimes.

It is over two months before the season starts, I can't wait...

ditto on the league pass...  Although I regularly have to turn the game off and watch via Sportsline... Way less stressful that way when things aren't going well

I watch every laker game and any game that's on espn/tnt/nbatv



You are so correct, I like to watch the games to get a feel for the team, Chemistry and shot selection, also I like to see how a team reacts or what plays they call when they need two points. Also who takes the shot, that shows if the team has leadership.

I usually watch the entire playoff but during the regular season it depends.  I definetly feel though if you watch games its gives you an edge though.

Easily. Particularly if it's one I've laid off because one or both teams is inconsistent, and I'm trying to figure them out -- e.g., last year, the Magic.  I watched the first couple games of the Hawks-Heat series before I would touch it, then hit each of the last 4 games correctly.

About 75-100 per year. Watch the point differential on all the teams. I think it is best tool for spotting a weak line. Make sure you stay clear of teams that score a ton but dont play defense....sometimes they get bet up and dont cover.

A game from start to finish? None (Unless it's the playoffs)

I'd say about 1,500 to 2,000 games.
