Is it just me or has the NBA not been as exciting so far this year? I mean, even with the emirates cup, there isn’t too much noise going on. Has the game really been watered down today with all these issues below?

• A literal 3 point shoot out, you don’t see other types of play being run now

• Stars missing due to injuries or load management (I’m looking at you Joel Embiid)

• Do you all think Lebron struggling mightily also does not benefit the NBA? As of now, I think he’s still the cash cow, even the most causal of fans know this man. He is at the worst stretch of his career so far and the NBA has to find its new golden boy soon (I’m guessing it is Ant but he hasn’t done anything so far this year to support this bet)

• Bad call by the refs and just flat out no defense and no physicality, the game is starting to literally look like a game in a park
