Disagree completely. I would much rather watch a game between people who give maximum effort and play with intensity even if they do make mistakes as opposed to 10 people standing around, walking up the court, acting like they don't have any interest in even being there. The NBA regular season is 100% devoid of any emotion or excitement. Honestly don't see how anybody can watch it. The emotion, intensity, give a damn, crowds, style of play (not nearly as much one on one isos) are all vastly superior in NCAAB.
NBA needs to cut the number of regular season games in half to give them more meaning. It's a shame cause I love basketball and used to be a fairly big NBA fan. But the current product totally sucks ass.
nba ratings on tnt, espn record highs so looks like you guys are in the minority.
and i hate the effort angle. whats the difference between a guy not hustling and a jason giambi who has to take himself out of a game because he couldn't hustle to 2nd base.
i agree though, college basketball i prefer over the nba. college basketball over anything.

No they are not.
NBA used to be good with Bird, Isaah, Magic, Jordan, Jabbar, Malone, shit, 1987 had 20 players in the league that went to the Hall of Fame.
What do we have now? LeBron, a hard to like Kobe, Howard, Chris Paul?
Chris Paul, they build him up to be like this superstar, when in fact he'd be an afterthought if he played in the mid 80's.
Give me a competitive NHL regular season game, I'd watch that before a round 1 NBA playoff game.
Today's NBA is nothing but a bunch of car jackers in shorts.
Its a horrible product....I think part of it might be the officiating...I for one wont watch it because of that...I dont believe in star treatment...if its a foul, its a foul...I dont care who its on...and the attendance doesn't lie, look around some of these arenas...there is NOBODY in them....its just that the NBA is in bed with ESPN so they talk about it all the time....but in reality, nobody cares...if they had the NHL contract you would think the NHL is relevant because it would be on ESPN....they just control everything...you have your 4 or 5 franchises that have sellouts every night..but thats it....theres never any drama...significantly lower seeds dont ever win playoff series....+ all the allegations of the fixing and it being like the WWE....whether it is or it isnt' just the talk of it is bad enough....where theres smoke, theres fire.... just a few of my thoughts....

I don't know how you bet on these over paid jocks as well. Some games they play, and some they don't. You can cap teams based on talent but when the effort is not there everything is out the window. When you go to these games you can see the players looking up in the stands figuring out which broad they will be banging later in the night. Whatever side of a Pacer game I was on last year, it was wrong. A big thanks to them though as it weaned me off wagering on these NBA clowns for good! You can have your league Stern and I hope you get what you and the players union deserve real soon.
Im with you on the different tastes for different people....I use to love hockey...I am not into it anymore....its garbage....but then again, Im old shcool...I miss the hitting and fighting...I do watch hockey when the playoffs start...as far as Im concerned, thats when the season starts....in the NBA Im not talking about tv ratings...Im talking about actual fans in the stands...I dont have the numbers, but I bet NBA attendance for a non elite franchise are comparable to each other....take your Wolves and Wild for instance, I bet the attendance is about the same, heck, the Wild may even outdraw the T-wolves, and I bet the hockey ticket costs more....again, Im not talking about tv ratings...and if you like the NBA...Great....its just not my thing...but then again, being a sports junkie that I am, Im really losing interest in all sports for some reason....and I dont even know why.....

My thoughts exactly. The crowds are so dead. If two of the top teams are playing, I might watch the last few minutes.
The atmosphere of a big match-up in college basketball makes it so much more entertaining.
I find it interesting that, anytime one of these types of threads pops up, gtc08 is the only one defending the NBA.
the game is meaningless until the last 4 minutes
up 20, down 20, rolling or looking horrible, it just doesn't matter. The losing team is going to go on a run and the game will be decided late
throw in the fact that it's the worst officiated sport, and it is really a snooze fest for me
