    I'll watch... but I won't obsess over it. The NBA has been a huge time suck anyway.. I'm going to be super productive. Thank You Adam Silver.

    I'll certainly watch less. Before I could watch the top teams just to root against them. Even the best teams like the MJ Bulls and three peat Lakers had a shot of losing even if it didn't seem like it. When a team is this stacked I'll just check the box score after the slaughter.

    Well, in reality, the Warriors are a bad Curry ankle sprain and a Kermit Washington to Draymond's face away from being out of contention. Seriously, that dude has got to be on someone's last nerve out there

    It’s getting pretty ridiculous but I’ll still watch 90 % of rockets games just like I have since I was 10. You never know what can happen. We still have moves to make. I’m confident we’ll be better than last year and we took GS 7. They still have to play the games.

    I stopped watching other teams play long ago.

    I’ll still watch the Rockets but the NBA is a shell of itself from the 90’s to the early 2000’s.


    Lebron started it with his first b**** move. Then Durant took the **** to another level.

    Nba should be on alert. They really need to make some rule changes to keep the league more balanced.

    Even if I was a b**** ass warriors fan, where’s the drama? This is like a fake league.

    I will watch the rockets play , except for when they play the warriors .

    We can all say **** the NBA .... but unless consumers speak with their dollars then it's implicitly supporting this bullshit .

    All this doesn't is make the GS warriors stronger villains , give more media talking points .

    At some point we have to realize that we (the fans ) played a part in creating this mess . The culture of win a ring at all costs perpetuated by the media and accepted by the fans influenced these players feeble little minds .... granted , it was completely unexpected that NBA all-stars shelved their egos to become little b****es .... but hey , a new generation . ( and I'm 26 hahahaha)

    Unless NBA revenues drop nothing will change . The hype machine will do its work to stir up interest , and fools will watch because they are conditioned to .

    Frankly , cousins could be a non-factor this year ... a man his size coming off Achilles injury is no joke and from that standpoint the signing does have some risk . However , the fact that the warriors are in a position to take such a risk with such huge upside is bullshit in and of itself . Many teams could have offered him more in terms of money this year and the opportunity to look better and earn more in the future .... be he chose a ring . The reason he chose a ring is partially due to the outside pressure he felt to win .... and we created that .

    The NBA has never been clean . From superstar calls , super teams , ref rigging , and so on . But this recent GS mess is unbelievable. They got incredibly lucky with cap increases and their own players being on lowered contracts due to injury concerns . However , it's also clear that changes need to be made to player payment structure and perhaps team cap structure . The allure of $ for star players has weakened due to outside endorsements and from a competitive balance standpoint that needs to be dealt with .

    In the end , **** GS ... I'm praying with all my might that those little b****es get what's coming to them . They deserve worse than hate ... they deserve abject failure and ridicule and to be disrespected for a long time .

    I would not be surprised to see real opposition to them from a money making standpoint. Teams might just rest their starters when they play in golden state thus further diminishing the product . It's time for fans and teams alike to take a stand against these arrogant sons of b****es

    Only if the rockets on some type of 20 game win streak. But If we start 3-5 and warriors start 8-0. Naw

    I wish I liked sports (and other unimportant things) less.

    In due time, but improving yearly.

    DO NOT WATCH THE NBA FINALS.

    The nba sees the viewership and believes that what is happening is the best for the league. Switch off your tv.

    I'm watching only RS and the playoffs apart form the finals where GSW plays.

    The officiating in the last two games sucked the life out of me. From a distance, I will support the Rockets and the Rockets ONLY. I have zero interest in supporting this corrupt league any longer.

    I anxiously await a long, drawn-out lockout.

    I didn’t really watch these past finals and only kept up with them because of false hope lebitch would get swept and make the best basketball move to join the Rockets.

    That's good! Ive been only watching free streams now the past 2 years. Don't support where the league is at right now, can only watch the rockets. There used to be a time where I'd enjoy watching any team play, especially in the playoffs. Now i don't give a crap knowing who is making the finals every year. My love and hopes of the rockets are my only motivation to even remotely care about the nba

    There's no point in watching this season. I don't care how people try and spin it (well boogie is hurt and who knows when he'll be back and how he'll play).

    You just took the champs and made them that much better and for an insulting cost at that.

    More than likely I'm going to cancel my Rockets package.
