NBA is a joke with load management

Was thinking about betting the league tonight as I’ve had a solid day in college hoops. But I’m gonna stay away.. jimmy butler ja Morant and Desmond bane all of a sudden can’t play.

shows you what a circus this league is.

@Puerta2Puerta

 It does seem a little crazy. Was watching Clippers lakers last night and I'm thinking what is wrong with Norm Powell. hasn't played since before all-star game and you no ready t0 play Lakers? these "injuries" just seem very casual. What do I know I am a mechanic lol

It really is a clown show.  

spurs ml it is lmao

It's an absolute fucking disgrace 

Players sit out whenever they want with faked injuries, play zero defense and chuck up 3s all game...then basically laugh in the fans face

And now every fuckin team makes the playoffs....imagine going 30-52 and making the playoffs....how fucked is that

Absolute joke of a league...its pitiful..

Dont even get me started in the gimmick in-season tourney...the league is so bad they had to bribe their multi-million dollar players to try a little bit...what a fucking joke...how pathetic

I hope they cut the reg.season way down...play each team twice...and in turn cut the bitch ass players salaries...

No wonder ratings at an all-time low...I hope the league plummets ...games are boring as fuck and even the playoffs not that great cause they still scared to get a little physical...

Just a flat out terrible product 

The whole starting 5 ruled out tomorrow for Jazz…wtf lol.

probably all play next game smh

Just take advantage of it it's called opportunity.

 grab the bag

eh honestly it’s a coin toss.. even if butler is out warriors might just still cover.. or sixers can flat out win..

same with the grizzlies.. stars out angle and grizzlies still cover.. it’s just a crapshoot. I rather stay away.

Grizzlies play better team ball without Morant on the floor.  

@Puerta2Puerta

 So you would rather have players play with knee problems? Back problems, leg problems, neck problems back spasms. All different types of injuries that you may not be able to physically see yourself, but if you are a doctor you probably would know. Hey, you can play 10 games hurt, but then after a while you're not going to be able to play at the optimal level that your team needs you to play at when you're playing against the best basketball players in the world.

This ain't high school or College with 30 to 40 games it's a long season. seems to me you want the players to play 82 games even if they're hurt or injured. Here comes the playoff and all the players that you want to see play can't even play cuz they're banged up or you get a horrible playoff product.

I agree with you. Some of the load management is ridiculous but not all of it...

@jdukes0004

 I mean they get paid millions to play...this shit wasn't happening in the 90s-2000s

I could understand legit injuries...but a bruised foot or a sore hand...like come the fuck on

They been sitting with fake/minor injuries for 5-6-7 years now...its pathetic..

Man they need to talk to the team doctors from the 80s and 90s and ask them what advice they give their players in terms of keeping their body on check. 

I don't think anybody watches any of this NBA trash. It's only good for betting. 

The product is trash, but making money off it with bets isn't so bad. 

@dubz4dummyz

 
10 teams don’t make the playoffs. 

another 4 teams get eliminated after the play in round lol.

Also since the play in tourney started the lowest amount of wins a 10th seed had was 34. So not exactly 30-52. 

@L0adingshow

 I'm well aware....I'm mocking how big of an absolute joke it is

30-52....34-48....same shit...that's absolutely laughable to get rewarded with a playoff birth....pathetic

It's the worst sport of the big 4 easily!!!!

It’s complete TRASH!! Again no one would watch this garbage without wagering on it!! 

Grimes going off for 43 points.. go figure lol..

yea grimes for 44 is dumb af but tonight in phi vs gs and podcast p has 13 lmao and maxey 5 points

NBA is a joke 

@pistol23

 Why is it complete trash???

I think it's awesome!!! Players are faster, more athletic and skilled than ever before.

@haymo

 It's the best sport!!! We all 

@haymo

 It's the best sport!!! We all have our own opinions 

I have been watching basketball since the 80s and this version of the NBA sucks. Not as bad as the 90s with the Knicks, but not good. You may have your opinion, but the ratings back me up and don’t support your opinions. If the product didn’t suck, Silver would not be sending an s.o.s. and talking about 40 minute games because no commissioner proposes shortening a product/game that people are watching and the league would not have orchestrated one of most one-sided trades in modern NBA history to keep people interested. 

@begginerboy

 It's a disgrace how far it has fallen

Load management is the biggest fucking joke of all-time
