    My fanhood has evolved to the point where I like the Houston Basketball Rockets more than the NBA in general; so much so, if the Rockets lose, it ruins the rest of my basketball watching day.

    However, I can't just stop watching basketball cold turkey after the Rockets get eliminated.

    I feel nothing even though history is being made before my eyes though.

    It seems many here don't watch other teams bball considering how they view many free agents and "mystery player's " as scrubs.

    I have watched each nationally broadcasted playoff game this season

    people thought i was an idiot for not watching warriors/thunder game 7.

    Pretty much my thoughts as well. I enjoy the rest of the league, but no emotional engagement with any of it.

    My interest falls significantly. . . ..
    It is more like .. . if nothing else is on

    I start watching more to see a certain person or team lose
    than rooting for a team

    The Rockets are by far my favorite team but I'm a basketball fan first, so yes I don't miss a game when the Rockets are eliminated.

    I watch to see teams I dislike be eliminated. In this case, I watched the conference finals but I have absolutely zero interest in the finals because both teams suck and I didn't want either one winning.

    I don't even remember the last time I watched a game after the Rockets were eliminated. I have zero interest in watching teams that aren't the Rockets. Of course, this year I had zero interest in watching teams that were the Rockets too.

    No. I masturbate to a blank TV while rubbing myself with unscented lotion.

    I even watch other teams in RS so ofc I watch the playoffs of other teams. But there are some teams that I really dislike watching because of style of play like the Grizzlies and the Cavs and OKC and if they don't go too deep in the playoffs I don't watch them.

    My interest in the playoffs was very high until it became Warriors vs. Cavs.

    Didn't watch one second of game 1 and don't plan on tuning in.
