My god, I just saw the box score for the Miami/Orlando game. 37-8 4th quarter for Orlando to come back to win. If I had a bet on Miami that’d be enough for me to stop betting NBA for good
NBA betting isn't much different from a Roulette wheel. I will not do any significant wagers on the NBA again. I'll throw $10-20 on the occasional parlay but nothing serious.

My personal theory is that betting is the reason for the NBA ratings dropping and not the actual product. Football is so much more predictable. There are so many random swings in NBA games out of nowhere and wild results that you don't see nearly as often in football.

Miami was up by 22 at the beginning of the 4th and ended up losing by 7 in regulation. I know Orlando has a great defense, but that’s ridiculous there has to be some sort of record broken with that.

Suggs/Banchero/Wagner were all out too, what a disgrace by Miami

So people aren't watching because they're not happy with the bets?

Just a goofy theory of mine...but it wouldn't surprise me if that's SOME of what's going on.

Everyone's more interested in a game when they have something riding on it. The NFL is more predictable...the NBA is a complete crapshoot.

I've taken Worthy, Williams, and Thomas Jr. in plays together almost every week this year. Of course this is the one week I don't.

Don't worry though, I have Jalen Hurts in 75% of my plays. :dead: .
