I like basketball now, but the old school inside out game I like a bit better.

Why (I probably know the reason) are all media outlets talking about the ratings drop due to the game itself? It’s because you have to pay to see your game on TV locally now. That’s literally it, they added pay walls that people don’t want to pay.

But they don't celebrate anything anymore. Nobody watches them to celebrate. They watch to see them make fun of the teams

[warhawk]

Your right... I can't watch a game anymore. I used to go to 3 Spurs games a year since 1988 and its sad because there is no loyalty, toughness, class or skill anymore in the league. I will go back once I see a change.

I love TNT the game is trash on fast break everybody runs to the three point line

[miguelhernandez]

Very well articulated!
Facts! This generation of athletes are a product of this soft generation. Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s was real, raw we got snap on, bullied and ridiculed. You either improved your or sat down and shut up.

Ernie is the only professional over there

TNT is Great. Basketball isn't fun to watch anymore. Getting rid of the defensive game sucks. 90s BULLS w/ Rodman D. was killer ball. Just like the Allstar game is trash
