Yeh but not normally the big games. I don't know if its just me but I find Boston, Cleveland, Lakers and Magic games to be quite dull except for the odd few highlights. Teams like Memphis, Suns, Clips, Bucks, Kings and Hawks I have a lot more fun watching.
Don't forget 4. Follow 4-5 players only, its unfortunate but there are plenty of these fans. I know when I play local basketball here plenty of guys talk about what Bron, Melo, Howard etc. did during the week and their highlights but quiz them on NBA standings and who beat who and they have no idea.
This. If there's a particularly full night of games (7 or 8), I'll hunker down around 6 and hop on bodog and place some bets. Then I'll vegetate on the couch with the laptop and the roommates, checking the scores to see how I'm doing and keeping an eye out for close games.
