If you watch an NBA game there’s an 80% chance you’ll see the fake scuffed shiny golden goose shoes court side. Idk why, you just will. Unless it’s in Orlando, then you’ll see toes out and Sanuks (I respect this move). Usually I’m a GG hater but their natural habitat is court side, it just feels right. My sub-anti-rec however is court side waiters. They are too often barreled over by full speed 6’6 freak athletes. Now we’ve got to stop play and wipe up the miller. I think the big spenders can go up the stairs and get their beer from the vendors like the rest of us. Not trying to put anyone out of a job though. They should also be hawking wares by the stairs. Just increase the number of beer sellers up there. This would be a win for all in my book

as an NBA fan of ~20 years, I’ll point out several things that irk me and probably irk the casual consumer to some degree:
1) The TNT crew is right when they complain about how the game has devolved due to the emphasis on three point attempts/analytics. Every team in the league emphasizes an almost identical offensive game plan now — at the expense of the creativity, originality, and improvisation that used to make teams unique and form identity. This makes for an oft-boring product to consume, especially for casual viewers.
2) Reffing across the league is atrocious, inconsistent, and often blatantly fixed. Why do the Lakers have the most free throw attempts (by a mile) each of the last four seasons (since LeBron arrived)? Why are players (see Andre Drummond/Victor last week) getting ejected for another player flopping and then reinstated into the game (without explanation)? Reffing is inconsistent, favors big markets/star players, and works hand-in-hand with flopping by the players to create a maddening and slow product on the court.
3) It’s hard not to notice and become annoyed with the increase in ads within the NBA over the past few years in particular. Whether it’s the jersey patches, court ads, or the basically unwatchable State Farm NBA All Star Weekend presented by Michelob and SKIMS. I could barely see the court during the In Season Tournament this year there were so many ads across it. These ads take away from the sense of game purity, and I feel like I’m watching a game show more than a sports game.

It’s my favorite time of year…Weather’s getting good and it's the glorious NBA postseason, where winning and losing matters a lot. Storylines are all unpredictable, lotsa surprises, upsets, script changes…Always some old reputations tarnished (Chris Paul?) new legacies born (Ja Morant). Right now we’re watching The Championship Finals and I'm still not really over the Heat loss, but decided that the only way I'm gonna have fun this series is if I get into my little Warriors Mode. This decision is in-part due to my hatred for the Celtics: their dumb, whiny attitude, ruthless media-chokehold, and basically all that the Bostonian culture represents...though I also tend to enjoy watching the Warriors win (in more ways than one) with Steph Curry being a unique points-machine wizard, and the team having motion offense brilliance with a little bit of awesome zone defense sprinkled in too. Speaking of fuckin Cool defense, special shouts-out to the tenacious Draymond Green for making Game 2 special to watch. His energy is super contagious when he's all charged up, talkin shit, startin shit, able to both guard his guy while also being everywhere else at once... that's what I call fun basketball!!! But enough about that, the point of this is to say it's not always easy figuring out where to watch games (blackout broadcasting, league Pass scams, Hulu glitching) so look to NBA reddit streams as an easy way to throw on any game for free.

So, this is the time of month where you tell the wife to give you space because Jalen Brunson rolled his ankle again, this is where you fill your liver with the finest six dollar beer, four dollar beer, whatever dollar beer because your team has no shot at guarding Nikola Jokic, this is where you rip shots after an annoying loss to the Celtics where you blow a eight point fourth quarter lead, this is the time where you and your father talk hours about basketball after a terrible loss where James Harden suddenly turns into a pumpkin...
THE NBA PLAYOFFS BABY!!!!
Big storylines are as following: Can OKC finally do it? Either SGA is a foul merchant, or a silky gunner, a weapon that launch artilleries towards defenders; Is Denver ready to make a run after firing their coach in a catty way? Are the Knicks not going to ruin my life? WATCH THE NBA PLAYOFFS

Ok stay with me here. Too much public filming. This is going to discourage good weird public activity. We need people being weird in public. Odd dancing, carrying around insane items, freaked out fits, etc. Instead of a quick vid to show your friends, or, god forbid, *get internet clout*, people should be sketching the scene and describing it in colorful language. Now you have to take accountability for your opinion on the matter, your draftsmanship and writing gets better, and the public freaks have plausible deniability in the job interview. This goes for drunk man on the street tik tok videos as well. Put on a newsboy cap and start jotting. There should be exceptions like intentional performances or heinous crimes of course. I’m open to other exceptions I just can’t think of any rn. This will never be a reality but i can try
