NBA Regular Season is DEAD: Why We Don't Care Until April!
Update: 2025-11-20
Description
BT & Sal launch a fiery critique of the NBA, arguing that the regular season has lost its appeal due to a fundamental lack of urgency. Sal admits that without the Knicks, he'd barely watch, while Tierney slams the non-stop discussion of "maintenance days" and "back-to-backs," arguing that when teams and coaches fail to prioritize winning every game, fans stop caring.
They debate the aesthetic of the modern three-point heavy offense versus the competitive grit of the 90s Knicks, with Sal giving the league credit for at least trying to solve the problem with the in-season tournament—even if it's a "gimmick" the Lakers are hanging banners for. The segment concludes with Tierney pointing out that the league is flooded with "raw" and "unfinished" rookies who lack the polish needed to maintain high-quality play over an 82-game schedule.
