Has basketball become so soft that players can’t even bump into each other? Or how is it that when the offensive player purposefully bumps into someone it’s so easily a foul on the defender. Really seemed like the refs stole the show again tonight. Let them play ffs, no one wants to see constant stoppage of play, that is the most boring version of basketball.
I have been watching basketball on TV since the MJ era. Since then basketball has gotten unwatchable. I used to sit in front of the TV with other family members and watch the game, now it’s something that’s running in the background while everyone does their thing. I don’t know what it is. It could be our changing habits and shorter attention span in the era of tiktok and highlights culture or maybe how the game flows there’s so many interruptions. I don’t have stats to back up if the game flows any smoother but I feel it’s a lot of stop and go stop and go. There was a period in yesterday’s Kings/ warriors game when Moody and Sasha traded 3 pointers, that was genuinely exciting as there was no stops and it was shot after shot.
