I'm not a fan of the NBA in general.  I used to watch as many league games as I could.  Now, I watch the Celtics, along with Cooper Flagg games and the occasional Wemby game.  I don't enjoy the product overall as much as I used to.

ditto.  haven't watched a non-Celtic game since the 80's.  definitely no interest in the way the game is played in the past decade or so -- too many 3's and non-existent post games.  add in the blatant superstar whistle treatment, the product is just unwatchable

I followed the NBA overall very closely until sometime in the early 2000s, and even after watched a ton of 76ers games because they were in my home market at the time.

There were a lot of fun teams back then.  The Suns, the Sonics, the Jazz, the Rockets, the Shaq Magic, then a bit later the Kings. 

I think the product has been going downhill for years, but the flopping plus the questionable officiating plus seeing 30+ bricked 3PTs per night has really killed it for me.

Celtics only team I watch? teams doing load management and tanking is hurting the league. Same goes to college sports, it?s hard to watch anymore cause top players like Peterson are not gotta play hard every night
C/PF-Horford, Baynes, Noel, Theis, Morris,
SF/SG- Tatum, Brown, Hayward, Smart, Semi, Clark
PG- Irving, Rozier, Larkin

Yeah non-Celtics games have gone down for me too.  Part of it is the play for sure but I think for me at least an aspect is the players/teams I would want to watch are not east coast teams so those games start so late and I just am not invested enough to stay up that late watching.  This all results in me not watching any really.

I?m with those who watch only Celtics.  Sports is for entertainment and if it?s not entertaining you then b the decision should be an easy one.  This past regular season was hugely entertaining for me. So not only am I not quitting the NBA, I can?t wait for next season.

Ditto.  Cancelled my YouTube TV subscription the night the Celtics were eliminated, and will re-up next October for the preseason.  I like the NBA, and will occasionally watch other games, but not once the Celtics are out.

So if the Knicks make the Finals, none of you will be tuning in to root against them?  :laugh:
