The NBA actually sucks. Way over exposed. More than half the teams barely making money.
Just out of curiosity, why do you watch it, then?
I don't care if people are pessimistic about this team's chances, because they have been playing so terribly this season. What I don't understand are the people who seem to take a strange glee in freaking out over losses and complaining about how the NBA sucks, the NBA is rigged, or whatever. If it really bothers you so much, why do you watch it at all? I don't mean this as an insult or an attack, I am actually curious.
I mean, I am a die-hard C's fan, and I will support this team to the end. I rooted for this team through Rick Pitino and '06-'07. This season is more frustrating in the sense that we really should be better than we are, but it is what it is. I just take such joy in both basketball as a sport and the Celtics as my team that even when things are terrible like this I can always enjoy the ride and the season.
It just confuses me because there are people on these forums I have literally never seen say anything positive (I am not singling you out, this is a general comment that your statement just reminded me of). All they ever seem to do is complain about the NBA and that it is a terrible star-driven league with terrible refs and its rigged and yadda yadda yadda, or that Boston sucks Rondo sucks Doc sucks Danny sucks everything sucks, and I just don't understand why they watch it at all? If it genuinely does not give you enjoyment and the only thing you can ever say is how the entire thing is terrible, why trouble yourself with watching it?
