Throw this in a pile of the world doesn’t revolve around your personal opinion. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean others don’t. The nba is plenty exciting. Like most sports its popularity is going to be strongest with fans who follow good teams with a nearby market so its hard to take much stock in what most of us think about nba, nhl, or even mlb given the royals recent track record [Reply]

In general baseball and basketball are also going through some **** it and chuck it shit too. A lot of bball teams chucking up 3s and pitchers throwing their arms out and hitters who either strike out or hit homers. Especially in the nba that’s led to tons of unwatchable blowouts
Is that on Pop or the NBA scheduling? So many back to backs or 3 games in 4 nights. If I were the NBA I’d have teams play 3 games vs in conference teams and 2 games vs out of conference teams. That’s 42 and 30 games. Play a max of three per week. So 24 weeks, 25 if you want an all star game. That’s the same number of weeks now. Play rotating Tue/Thur/Sat and Wed/Fri/Sun weeks. Players get rest and practice days. With no back to back, LeJames won’t need to sit as much. Playoffs should go back to a 5/7/7/7 or 3/5/7/7 schedule. [Reply]

It’s both. The scheduling is absurd. Not just back to backs, but traveling back to backs. But without a doubt pop started the trend of liberally benching players for rest whenever he felt like it [Reply]

Dont be slamming soccer now
Someone passing a kidney stone has no idea the horrific pain and torture a soccer player feels when accidentally touched by another soccer player on the field [Reply]
If you're ever suffering from insomnia, put on a non-major golf telecast and lie down on your couch. Promise it will be some of the deepest, best sleep you'll ever get.
And I say that as someone who loves to play/practice golf. [Reply]
I actually think that basketball is the most boring sport now, even worse than soccer. It's got great athletes, sure, but the athletes have outgrown the sport. It's too easy for them. [Reply]

Well, given there is virtually no defense being played... [Reply]

It would be so easy if they enforced the rules and let them play defense again.
But yeah for some reason it's now boring as shit. [Reply]

I use to love the NBA. But the season is too long. The rules aren’t enforced, and great players are favored. Let them play defense. Call the game the same for each player in the first quarter and all other quarters. Throw floppers out of the game. If you flop or complain about a call, it is immediately ignored!
I’m tired of buddy ball. Three great players and scrubs. Limit teams to two max contracts. Eliminate the buyout market. [Reply]
Ohtani making a statement right now...doubling down on the initial claim, says he's never bet on baseball or any other sport and never through a bookmaker.
He said the translator stole $$ from his account and is telling lies.
Too much more to post, it's the usual double down you see from athletes in this situation...
