I really like just about every major sport, even including some of the non-American sports like Rugby and Aussie Rules, but Basketball is just so boring to me. 95% of the points are completely inconsequential and they happen at such a rate that most of them are both boring and meaningless when they happen. You can drop into a basketball game on tv with 6 minutes to go and not really have missed anything important; the game will either be a blowout and be over, or still be as close as it was in the 1st quarter.

And yes this does differ from Football, Hockey, Soccer, etc. because in those sports each point scored not only has the potential to, but usually does change how both teams approach the game and play, and the goal or touchdown scored in the 2nd quarter or period or whatever could be the game winner, so you do risk missing something by not watching, and you lose the chess match and strategy that plays out over the whole game.

What do you miss by missing the 1st quarter of a basketball game? A few inconsequential points? Really gotta go out of my way to make sure I catch the first tip-off.

This is exactly how I feel

I even got bored of that 'amazing' Cavs Warrrors match up, unintentionally taking a nap halfway through. NBA is just so boring and the last minute, instead of being dramatic play is just free throw battles.

I can watch college ball ok, since it is not as high scoring and 3s mean much more. There's just no drama in the nba

Basketball > the rest
>>
>>64484039
Yeah, even though the NBA is probably the sport I used to follow 2nd most closely behind the NFL, I've pretty much stopped watching except for the big national games.

It's really just so god damned boring.

Only 5-6 teams chance any year. Like this season, the entire Western Conference is just the Spurs and Warriors, and the East is just the Cavaliers. That's literally what the NBA Finals are going to be again, the Lebrons versus the Spurs/Warriors.

And yeah, the whole thing with massive scoring is ridiculous. Why even bother watching a full game? It isn't like there might have been an amazing catch or run like in the NFL that got a team a score, or an amazing shot like hockey, or a home run like baseball.

In the NBA, basically the only big plays are game winning shots. I mean, their only other big plays are what, dunks and half court buzzer beaters? And those are rendered basically worthless by the time the next basket is scored.

>>64484298
Wrong. Once you mature you realize that baseball doesn't reward elite level skill the way it should (it's too random) and there are too many variables (level of impact of a pitcher on the outcome... but your 200 million dollar pitcher can only play between 20 to 25% of games.)

>>64484414
>Baseball doesn't reward elite level skill
Wrong once again. The elite players are consistently the most valuable players and perform at the highest level. Pitchers are elite players too anon so adding their variable in makes elite play far superior to any other sport.

In order to be able to watch Baseball you need to be able to understand the finer aspects of the game such as pitch sequencing, positions etc. You also have to have knowledge of advanced statistics and statistical methods. It's a sport for intelligent men. I don't expect you to understand since most of this is probably going over your head.

I didn't dispute that. But when the best hitters in the game only succeed at their task around 1/3 of the time and get 4 to 5 attempts per game to try to hit, you can get a superior team swept out of a playoff series because of just how hard it is to hit a fucking ball into play.

Physical limitations mean that you have to rotate through a cast of pitchers and so how "good" your team is (regarding the scoreboard) varies from dominant one night (ace) to shit tier another night (5th in the rotation.) This is stupid. Ideally you would have one pitcher throwing all the games with a back up (or maybe two) much like the goalie system in hockey. This would make saying "this team is good" much more sensible.

>Literally every sport relies on luck
Do you know how to fucking read? I didn't say other sports have zero luck in them. I said that there is TOO MUCH luck in baseball. In basketball you can be fairly certain that the better team in terms of talent will win in a seven game series (some people see this as a boredom factor: I don't.) Most teams hitting .270 and the rotating cast of pitchers of various skill levels makes for far too random results.
>>
>>64484893
tastes for just about everything are dynamic?
>>
>>64484800
I'm not against baseball or anything, I do like it, but pointing out the statistical aspect of it as an argument over other sports ignores the fact that it's sample size is what makes it much more analytically based. Stats are just as important in Football, or even Hockey and Basketball, but because not every motion or move in those sports is tangible or quantifiable like in baseball, those aspects are not as tracked. Also in Baseball you have a 162 game sample size, as opposed to Football's 16, or Soccer's 30-40, thus lending itself to a stronger focus on the statistics and analytics.

I actually do it for football. Stats are an important aspect of every sport, but claiming that boreball is for intelligent men because of them is just vague and pretty defensive.

Football also has a lot of fine points commonly overlooked but vital for the game and for the watcher to understand.

Both sports have those fine points. Boreball is just really boring.

You know why the best hitters only succeed 1/3 of the time...because it's a really difficult sport to be elite at. Far more difficult then any other sport out there, except maybe hockey. Not to mention they have another player throwing the ball in a random motion trying to get them out.

Building competitive teams is what allows a team to be great. Not a record. The playoffs are a whole different animal compared to the regular season. Parity in the sport is what makes it superior to every other sport instead of watching the same team win it every year.

Also your luck argument is invalid. You've implied twice now that luck isn't a thing in other sports which isn't true. Every sport utilizes luck. Its just part of sports.
>>
>>64484039
>A few inconsequential points?
Every point has equal value regardless of when it's scored, given that the winner is determined by comparing point values when time expires. A well played 1st quarter/half can conclude the main portion of the drama in the game. You'll get a great deal of excitement that occurs when a big run happens early on in the game.

>>64484039
Same. I've been trying to think for a while of a good way to explain why football/hockey whatever is different. One thing I remember noticing is that ESPN's game alerts having "scoring play" as an option for everything but basketball.
>>
>>64485602
They actually do far more athletic manuvers then any other sport. Wouldn't expect a fat neckbeard to understand that though.
>>
>>64485550
>it's really difficult
Yes, and they should be commended, but it's so hard that it makes the sport worse. That's the point.

>Parity
Yeah, parity "is good" but there is *too much* parity in baseball. It's not a black and white situation where you either "have parity" or you don't.

>implied that other sports don't have luck
No. No I fucking haven't. Other sports have LESS luck. They have LESS parity. Baseball has TOO MUCH luck as a factor. Please point out where I said there was "no luck" in any other sports. I'll wait.

Every sport has a luck component to it. Other than in baseball the influence of luck is at a much more satisfying level.

>>
>>64485916
Not really. The fact that it's so difficult makes it better. When a play is made its always a difficult play. Even the most routine grounder is impressive.

There really isn't too much parity. The best teams make the playoffs consistently. The point of the playoffs is to find out who the best team is overall. It succeeds in that aspect. In football for example you can have a 7-9 team make the playoffs.

You cant have "too much" of "too less" of luck. Luck is luck. Its not quantifiable. Its a variable. All sports have the same amount of luck.
