Yup. I’m just not that excited to watch the games. OKC is the reigning champ. They will likely repeat again with their cadre of young stars. What story is there to watch? Is there a team whose play gives you pleasure or delight? None for me. OKC is SGA Iso heavy. Warriors are good again but it ain’t the splash brothers offense. Lakers have 2 stars and a bunch of hasbeens. I thought Pacers are fun to watch but Tyrese is out the entire year. Celtics are without Tatum. Philly is miserable. Cavs might be contenders but they excite me about as much as a pair of old socks. My own team is crap, not in any position to make noise in a weakened East.
Things might change when it gets biting cold and football is done, and I can’t stand the misery of NHL. But right now, there’s not a whole lot of reason for me to watch the NBA this season. Heck, even rezz forgot to make game threads. lol. How about you?
Generally I don’t start paying attention until the half point, or if my team (Celtics) is doing something amazing, so it’s hard to say if I empathize because it’s early or because I share your pessimism. But you’re not wrong; it’s looking like a recipe for a boring start, at least.
