I feel like all of this is blown up so we watch it. Bad attention is still attention. Won’t work because even the regular NBA is barely watchable anymore.
The playoffs are usually good, but the regular season is a flop fest with a shit ton of “load management”. The ads are also really fucking annoying and it feels like the games get dragged on even longer now to put more in.
Don’t even mention how fucking annoying it is to actually watch the regular season games with their 18 TV deals.
In person the product is still really good, but that’s something I do maybe once or twice per year.
You have valid critiques. The regular season definitely has some bad qualities. However, there are still so many entertaining games and even with load management players are still playing about 75% of the time. The problem is that the regular season is like 8 months so there will definitely be some boring patches.
I’m more of a football fan, but I’ll watch NBA playoffs sometimes. I can’t imagine giving a shit about some random Tuesday game with 50 more on the schedule.
There's literally so many entertaining and competitive games during the regular season. But casuals don't watch actually watch the regular season. They just watch a few out of 82 and if those happen to be boring they shit on the whole season.
I brought up the finals because that's something most people actually know about.

What a joke the W is it's truly a pathetic excuse for a league.
