This season is sucking the joy out of NBA basketball for me. As a Pistons fan, it’s the epitome of hell. Our team sucks and watching other teams infuriates me. Seeing great teams be great with star players and young teams on the come up showing promise with budding stars makes me depressed when comparing to our team. Then you look at this sub and it’s as low as I’ve ever seen it. Every post is doom and gloom, which is totally understandable during these times.
Is anyone enjoying NBA basketball right now?
i can’t even enjoy other teams bc the pistons have crushed all spirits thus far
Still enjoy the nba. There’s a lot of fun being had, just not in Detroit or Memphis. OKC has been a fun watch, it’s a rebuild that worked!
No Im hating the NBA style of play nowadays. I’ll be the old man on the porch yelling, saying it’s nothing but shoot around basketball. Hardly no defense, the rules have made it nearly impossible to enjoy watching it. You are thrown out of the game, if you dare to even eat a bag of chips near a ref. It’s boring to me. Players flopping all over the place. I’m good on it. I never was a basketball person like that but from the outside looking in Commissioner Silver is letting the game slide to the bottom of the totem pole.
Been more tuned into the pacers, kings, and magic since the pistons have been playing awful, I don’t even watch them on tv anymore I just have them as one of the corner views on multi view when I watch multiple games at once on league pass
Choose a West team. I like to have a East and West team and there is less run-ins between the two so I don’t feel as conflicted.
Choose an older West team who is still promising if that makes you feel better.
Kenny Beecham’s Enjoy Basketball newsletter also helps me remember why basketball is fun to watch.
I still love watching the nba, yeah it’s sad at times I can’t enjoy watching my favourite team but it’s been that way for 10–15 years
