The NBA regular season is only slightly better than the MLB regular season (ugh). Just way too long and too many games.I have tried hard to get into the NBA this year but I think it has been horrible. Maybe it is just the shortened season but it seems like there are maybe 4 teams that are good and the rest go from bad to terrible. Earlier the 6ers were playing hard on D and competitive most nights and now they are so lazy and they are getting crushed most nights. It seems like that is the cae for most teams, if you get 2 teams that care and actually try on D the games are fun to watch but most games it seems like at least 1 team is just going through the motions and it is so boring and sloppy. I used to be a huge NBA fan and now I just find it depressing to watch most of the time.
But shit gets exciting when the playoffs start. There are again too many teams and too many games but you are not forced to watch Heat versus Philly. You can just pick and choose and watch the good games.
Nothing compares to football, but the NBA can be pretty damn good when you have a good matchup in the playoffs.
