Most unwatchable teams in the NBA

[ArbitraryWater]

1. Nets
2. Sixers
3. Wizards
4. Rockets (Harden brings the lolz)

Grizzlies are pretty boring. Bucks, few individual highlight acts but outside of that is meh. Celtics offensive ineptitude, nothing flashy, but good coaching.

Most others have a few compelling entertaining aspects about them, I'd say.

[Milbuck]

The Sixers as a whole suck to watch but their close games can be fun. Especially the ones where they're up in the 4th and then completely collapse in the last couple minutes, it's like they're in shock that they're still in the game they just forget how to play. I'm still waiting for Jahlil to lose his shit in a game and straight up kill a dude on court.

The Bucks are an abortion to watch if you take them seriously but tolerable if you pretend MCW is just some regular dude that won a game show where the prize is starting for an NBA team for a season.

I'm surprised Lakers didn't make your list AW

Nah, I like seing Kobe play.. weather its his mindless chucking or actually performing well for a few last times (like as of late), its cool either way.. especially if he goes like 1 of 5 in the 4th and on that one make everybody goes nuts. Then you have Clarkson who's pretty good, and Randle, sometimes showing glimpses of what people talked about when entering the NBA and what he could become. Bad or not, they were decently watchable the last few years.

Agreed. :lol

[BasedTom]

cavs bulls rockets = cure for insomnia

[HOoopCityJones]

Thought The Cavs were exciting this year? They all grew those mustaches.

[Proctor]

Throw in the Pelicans too, they are so damn boring. I'm definitely alone on this one but I actually don't enjoy watching the Thunder particularly either, even though I don't mind Durant too much and am actually a fan of Westbrook.

Oh I def. wanted to add them (Pels).. slipped my mind in the OP. Forgot to mention the Bulls too. They play ugly as hell.

[Ron Jeremy]

Sixers are actually pretty fun to watch; if you have Robert Covington on your fantasy team.

I would say easily the rockets. The constant free throws are constantly making me switch league pass games. Harden ball is unwatchable.

[Proctor]

I'd add the Rockets too but I get some enjoyment out of watching them because I know they're going to lose.

[HOoopCityJones]

Wait, wtf just noticed The Rockets on there, I thought they were kind of turning a corner?

[ArbitraryWater]

Turning a corner or not (which I dont think is happening), they're an abomination to watch, led by Harden's free throw parade.

[Thorpesaurous]

Denver is a tough watch.


I don't mind the Sixers. There's enough guys I still watch for progress. And I enjoy Okafore's palming the ball and running the offense through the post like that. But they are terrible.

The Nets are an awful watch. One of the worst I can remember. And I've never liked watching the Harden centric teams in Houston, even when they're working.

[ShawkFactory]

Everyone but the Spurs Warriors Cavs and Hawks

[Real14]

Nets, sixers, cavs and grizzlies.

[SexSymbol]

There's a lot of boring teams.
cream of the crop:
Grizzlies
Suns
Utah
Atlanta
Washington

Others include:
Brooklyn
Denver
Dallas to an extent

[ralph_i_el]

1. Wizards


I'm so sad

I'm wasting my time watching this team when I could be playing fo4

[sd3035]

Cavs without Kyrie

Suns aren't really boring.. Jazz neither imo but I could maybe see the HM. Dallas entertaining as hell.

[Nick Young]

rockets

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Nets and Sixers are the only teams I can't watch, nor really have the past few seasons outside a couple Jahlil Okafor games.

Another squad I don't like watching are the Raptors. For whatever reason they put a brother to sleep. :sleeping

[90sgoat]

Team I will watch against any opponent:

Cavs
Spurs
OKC

Teams I will watch against against each other:

Clippers
Bulls
Memphis

Teams I sometimes watch:

Lakers (Kobe)
Utah (Hayward)

All the other teams I only watch if playing Cavs, Spurs, OKC.

[34-24 Footwork]

Spurs are actually watchable now that they have a little more young talent on their team.

I like watching the Bucks with Jabari Parker on the floor.

All in all, Rockets are the worst team to watch.

[Heavincent]

Bulls have been a snooze fest for years. Wouldn't annoy me if they weren't on national TV so much. ESPN is ****ing OBSESSED with the Bulls and I don't understand why.

Spurs have been a good watch since 2012

[outbreak]

lakers are on there for me. improving lately with kobe getting some form but randle/hibbert has to be the ugliest big man duo to watch in the league aesthetically. I usually try to watch some games from the top few draft picks so have been watching more of them this season.

[Cold soul]

Brooklyn
Denver
Rockets
Bulls
Memphis

[swagga]

Spurs have been a good watch since 1997

fixed that for you son.

huge markets son, ESPN is all bout that $$$. Shit I'm a knicksfan and i remember the 00s when they were beyond trash and still they were getting a lot of time on national TV.

[#number6ix#]

Bulls
Memphis
Pelicans

Seen the bulls and Memphis had a game last night and I cringed hard af

[NBAplayoffs2001]

Nets = I just get annoyed seeing people in the front row on their phones. The fanbase heavily relies on whose the visiting team. The atmosphere from what I've heard is nowhere near the level of the Garden in Manhattan.

Rockets = Seeing Harden chuck up shots is actually fun. Not fun at all of course for Houston fans when he misses a ton of them and completely brings the team down with his atrocious defense.

Pelicans = cringe-worthy. Besides Anthony Davis, I feel all the guards on this team under perform. I always thought Holiday could be an All Star PG at this point in his career. He showed ton of potential back in Philly and was the talk of the town when I lived there. Tyreke hasn't been anywhere near as good as he could be due to all the injuries and his jumper is still pretty weak. Eric Gordon is in a similar situation to Tyreke.

[lilteapot]

Nets
Rockets
Grizzlies
Philly
Nuggets

[T_L_P]

Relative to their talent? Definitely the Heat.

[GOBB]

Oh so now you're shitting on MCW? :roll:

Nets just have so many uninteresting players, there's no one to get excited about really, plus they are pretty shit.

Sixers are so bad it's somewhat entertaining. You feel excited to see if they can actually win haha.

Haven't watched much Rockets this year, but they can get irritating with their incessant 3Pt chucking, because unlike the Warriors they aren't particularly great at 3s.

Grizzlies try to play in a way most don't find exciting, but they have Chalmers now :D

Honestly, Heat can get boring when the offense stagnates. Wade is pretty fun to watch when he attacks, and Whiteside can be fun too. And I'm hyped for Winslow. But a lot of the team is meh to me. Gerald Green is super exciting, but he is a dunce lol

Cavs are boring outside of LeBron and Kyrie.



Best teams to watch are GSW, OKC, LAC probably. Timberwolves are fun and will be more so in the future.

[feyki]

Spurs before 2011 .

[Dro]

So we've confirmed that most posters only watch a few teams so no wonder most folks don't have a clue what they're talking about most of the times...

Me personally? I'll watch any NBA game that is on. I'm a fan of the game. Now to the question in the OP. If I had to choose teams that are more "boring", I'd agree with the Rockets. Harden is almost unwatchable. Honestly, he has a very visually pleasing game, just like Paul George. But he doesn't have the substance.

I'd also vote the Sixers. I don't think the Jazz are boring at all. Have you seen Gobert, Burks, etc play?

[midatlantic09]

Teams I have no desire to watch:

-Memphis
-Nets
-Utah
-Denver

[ArbitraryWater]

fixed that for you son.

They were kinda meh to look at from 2008-2011, honestly.

[GOBB]

I dont see how the Sixers top these lists given how much shit people here give the team. Then again not a lot of posters replied so that could be it.

[Sakkreth]

1. Nets
2. Sixers
3. Wizards
4. Rockets (Harden brings the lolz)

Dmo is back so now its turned to one of the most watchable teams :rockon:

[3ball]

.
The entire league is unwatchable - I was flipping through channels the other night and stopped on an NBA game just to see 1 possession - I wanted to see if it was worth watching - this is what I saw:


http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/10-17-2015/2dhvwh.gif


Needless to say, I chuckled to myself and flipped the channel before I got nauseous..

Penetration is an automatic, built-in component of today's game, due to the spaced-out, wide open driving lanes and hands-off perimeter defense - the result is an easy, drive-and-kick

The mandatory space that today's perimeter defenders must give ballhandlers (the hand-check ban), along with lower physicality, and the spaced-out driving lanes make today's game the weakest, softest, and most diluted version of the game in the NBA's history..

the nba finals were on today? in december? noice

[3ball]

You said that the Bulls posted the #1 all-time ORTG, that's factually untrue. I've called you on it more than once and you've never replied. :lol
They had 115.5 ORtg in 1992, while the 1987 Lakers had a 115.6.

But I wasn't talking about single-season..

The Bulls had a 115 ORtg in 1991, 1996, and 1997 too... So based on ORtg, the Bulls are the best offensive team ever and posted the highest ORtg's ever... This is fact.

[3ball]

Lebron has the best on/off ORtg this year


Bulls ORtg with Jordan 1991-1993:....... #1 all-time (113-115)

Bulls ORtg without Jordan 1994:...... 14th in league (106)


^^^^GOAT IMPACT


Keep in mind that these kind of ORtg comparisons are normally done with an on-off format, so the player in question is replaced by NOBODY - whereas the Bulls replaced Jordan with Kukoc.

More importantly, unlike the impact of most players, the offensive improvement the Bulls experienced with Jordan didn't come at the expense of defense - they had the 6th ranked defense in 1994, which is the same as 1991-1993 (4th, 7th, 4th).

Jordan enabled a TWO-WAY TEAM, which shouldn't be surprising since Popovich said Jordan was the standard for two-way play (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11875185&postcount=49).

You're so full of shit. Nash's Mavs/Suns teams > any Bulls teams offensively. Check ORTG differential, much more important than raw ORTG.

Who cares about ORTG in the regular season, those Suns teams melted down in the playoffs when they didn't get all that reg season space.
