give it a shot. I’m not sure when you last watched the NBA heavily, but the quality of play is great, the talent is amazing and the style is generally fun (with the exception of a couple teams). The nba in the late 90s early to mid 2000s was kind of rough To watch because of the bad spacing and shooting but it’s much better now.
 
Sir Charles and Shaq are getting a lot of hate on twitter. I think Kenny Smiths walk out had to with him avoiding getting into an argument with Chuck. I can sense Charles and Shaq have tried to hold back their thoughts being conservatives, Kenny and Ernie are wok.

Oh boy this should be good

So what makes the NBA “unwatchable”?

I think it's all the talent, the exceptional athleticism, and the excitement of the games. Would much rather watch Penn State beat Wisconsin 41-36.

Denver got a tough break with some of those calls last night. Murray is so freaking fun to watch. Unreal that he's only 23.

it’s like the euroleague futball. the most boring games are the top tier teams. the junior league makes you appreciate the sport more.

can’t watch another 0-0 match

Tim wasn’t the only one.

Fans were just ignorant enough to believe the nbas bs claims that he was a rogue official.

A ref getting in with the mob to cover spreads is a bit different than league-mandated directives on which teams should advance. But there's no doubt the league massages certain matchups.

Or deciding what team wins the title.

Like game 7 2010
 
Kanter 2 quick buckets but the Heat scored every possession he was in the game except one (nice steal by the guards), including a couple offensive rebounds.

Kanter 3 for 3 and helped deserves an assist on Wanamaker's basket because Adebayo couldn't help off him.

Smart may be the most overrated player in the NBA.

Team D has been better after the timeout and yeah Kanter has gotten another bucket and provided some lane gravity.

More fire from the team in general these last few minutes.

The Celtics are a bad defensive team without Kanter on the court., and Kanter makes them look worse because he crashes the offensive board every time so that is one less person to get back on defense. Getting back in transition is not a Celtics' strength.

The Heat can't switch on the PnR's with Kanter on the floor, leaving the outside shooters wide open.

Too many reviews on fouls, they're turning this into the college game with all of this bs
 
If Kanter is gonna miss point black shots at the rim then he's of no use out there

What?? Celtics were one of the best defensive teams in the league all year and had the best defensive rating in the bubble after the Toronto series.
 
This team is frustrating to watch, but they can be REALLY dangerous the next 2 years regardless of this season’s outcome.

That's right. The Celtics are winning this series 3-1. I forgot.

I mean that doesn’t offer much of a rebuttal to the defensive point, but alright.
If you want to go down that road, the Celtics had won like 75% of the minutes in the series and had blown big leads in each of the first 2 games. The series could easily be 3-1 in Boston’s favor.

I’m not saying it should be, but it very well could be

If you want to say the Heat are carving them up, that's one thing (it's not really true, but okay, Heat have shot less than 45% the last 3 games). But to say they're a bad defensive team in general is just being controversial for nobody's sake.

Celtics have been worse on offense than defense. That's why they're down 3-1. You don't commit 20 turnovers per game on defense.

Welcome to Nelson's world, where 100% of opinions are made to get people mad
 
The zone is so collapsing, passing lane focused, and middle trapping, these ball fake, spot up 3s are the best shots available, honestly. You can get your man 4 feet off with a ball fake.

The middle with Adebayo, Butler, Crowder, and/or Iguodala helping down on you is a trap.

Good defensive energy from everybody, especially Smart and Theis to start the half.

Miami misses some shots, Celtics get out in transition and semi-transition. Mirror image of the 1st quarter.
 
Ref called that travel from cross court through 3 people, despite a ref looking right at it from behind him.
