Some players still aren't healthy yet, but overall the NBA has done close to as a good a job as possible getting this thing restarted.

I wish they started a little early and added 10 games instead of 7 but we will take it!
Let's go Inside Hoopers!

Watching Houston play wasn't any different than with fans.
They still chuck a lot of threes. And if those threes happen to go in, they got a chance to beat anyone.

i think it says more about milwaukee's defense. they're so willing to let role players get off open looks to stop stars from getting layups. It might not work vs great teams who have 4 good scorers on the floor. toronto burned them a bit last year with lowry and vanvleet.

i feel bad for all the users that hoped the season would cancel. it seems they've disappeared since the restart and excitement. basketball discussion has greatly increased forum wide since

They suffer from LSS (Lebron Shooketh Syndrome). All we can do for these souls is pray

:wtf: lighten up dude. Sports is not that serious. We need sports so we can somewhat get back to normal. I got sick of watching TV shows and no new movies were coming out.

Just binge older stuff man. It’s impossible to run out of good tv. I agree sports has been a nice change of pace, can’t watch tv shows all day.

It's hard to watch with all the BLM agenda and shitty commentating about change

Im good bruh its not im saying it with emotions and shit. I still watch because as you say theres not much to watch anyway. The games i have seen so far are just bad though. It is what it is. I grew up watching and playing physical basketball. I like the physical play. Im just not a fan of the flopping and the weak calls that are becoming normal in this era. Playoffs are usually much better.

It's been trash relative to it's normal product. Only hardcore fans will enjoy the bubble (the type of people who watch summer league games).

The NBA has really done a great job. Remember that when they were planning the bubble it was widely thought the virus wouldn't be a problem in the summer. Didn't turn out that way and the NBA was prepared for it. Just look at what is happening in baseball. It is a complete mess. They will probably end up cancelling the season.
The virtual crowd and pumped in crowd noise actually seems to work. When i hear the defense chants it is easy to forget there isn't actually a crowd there.
The play has been very high level. I was expecting some sloppy play after so much time off but it almost seems like playoff basketball already.
The BLM thing doesn't bother me. Not sure how much effect it will have. I just don't think politicians have the backbone to hold cops accountable for their actions. People used to think the body cams would make a difference but the cops turn them off routinely. They know they can pretty much do whatever they want as long as there is no video.
