IMO it would be an awesome service to have a simple daily or weekly spoiler-free thread where the people who watched live can recommend a particular game as must-watch. It would be particularly awesome during the playoffs. Then busy peeps can bookmark the thread and still not miss out on killer games.
The NBA has been growing massively internationally but timezones mean that a bunch of us simply can’t watch games live. I’m sure there are 'Muricans that could get use out of this too. For me, games are late night and I can’t watch anything until after work the next day (if there’s a matchup i really wanna watch I have to be careful online until then too)
Highlights are cool and all but some games are incredible start to finish and it seems like this would be relatively easy to do.
Any interest in a sticky that covered this or am I the only one who would love it?
No.
You snooze you lose.
There is an app called Spoiler Free Basketball that does something similar.
ill check it out, ty!
No. I only watch Wizards games. And probably Suns games when Beal plays.
Yes! Awesome idea! Even if there are other websites, a stickies thread would reach so much of the community. It wouldn’t hurt the subreddit experience, AND it would encourage more people to watch full games (instead of just highlights and box scores).
Plus, if the “top games” are all archived over time without scores, it’d be really easy to go back and watch games you’d since forgotten about.
PS. If your comment is hating on this idea, YOU’RE the problem with this sub. The more accessible basketball is to watch, the better the experience will be on the subreddit! Please think about why you oppose this idea, because it’s a good one that doesn’t hurt anyone by existing.
I’d appreciate it
I think even though I catch most games that I want to see live, it wouldn’t be obtrusive or annoying or anything, and it’d be handy for when I occasionally want to check it
99%+ of people on this sub are fans of a specific team and are following any games they can’t watch on their phone. Additionally, the sub is going to be littered with highlights and post-game discussions about any major games on any given night. That’s the point of this sub.
r/nba has 8.5m members and there might literally be 17 people who would make use of what you’re describing so the idea of making it a sticky is pretty ridiculous.
I mean, you’re just making up numbers but if you don’t want others experience to be enriched at no cost to you that’s fine ig.
i do find it hard to believe im the only person that would like to watch great games of whatever team after the fact. guess im wrong.
