No defense, no walking calls

The game is more entertaining if you watch it with a group of friends.

You forgot this part Genie....
While doing something else.... Like playing poker with them.

You just shit all over March Madness like Taco Bell diarrhea lol.

I love the chaos

But it’s objectively a horrible way to determine a champion

“congrats on a great regular season and getting the 1 seed! Your reward is you get to play in a 6 round single elimination tournament on a neutral court!

That title game in NCAA this year was just……awful

Also goes without saying that the postseason system for college, even thought it’s entertaining, is just objectively so bad in terms of determining a champion

Maybe so but the best team in UConn still won it all this year lol

 

[carolinakid]

the nba playoffs are like their reg season way too long

 

[stormtrooper8]

Maybe so but the best team in UConn still won it all this year lol

They were the best team in the Final 4 for sure

Definitely think they were under seeded , but not sure if they were the best team

No way to really know

Right??? You go it right, Tank! haha

So when the game gets boring, you have other alternative ways to entertain yourself with the gang!

My son loves it, but he’s from a different era & these young kids love flashy handles & 3 pointers galore.

agreed the younger generation grew up with this style of basketball on and off TV so they love it

Hey it beats watching a bunch of 20 y/o's brick wide open jump shots every possession

I'm a basketball junkie and my job is working as a basketball scorekeeper so I watch different levels of basketball from kids all the way up to NBA and even the WNBA. The 3 point shot has changed how the game is played and now with analytics everybody is taking them because 3 is more than 2 even though to be successful you basically have to hit 33%. Too many guys think they're Steph Curry and the mid range is a lost art. I love basketball so I keep watching the NBA but the game has definitely changed since I started watching in the 80's.
