Anything that can work as good background noise while I work out or read my comic books. I look for monotone commentary.
Google "Hind Rajab"
Total Killed by Israel = 50,000+
Israel kills a child every 45 minutes and ban aid workers from bringing in baby formula :crazy:
Total being starved by Israel = 500,000 -1,000,000

I only watch non-Raptors games when the Raptors are a playoff team....when they're tanking I have no desire to watch other teams unless I see the score is tight late in the 4th, I might tune in to see a potential game winner.

This only applies for regular season, once the playoffs start I'll start watching every game if it's a good series.

For the Leafs and Blue Jays I don't even bother watching them in the regular season, will only tune in if they're in the playoffs. Don't have all that time to waste.

Run a business, that keeps me busy. I could make time if I really wanted to, but I'd rather work than watch the Celtics chuck up 50 threes.

I look at the East and West standings, none of the teams interest me until the playoffs start.

I've been following Knicks since the OG trade, try to see all their games. Even streaming them this year. Otherwise, it's something I meant to post in the thread about what's wrong with the NBA, too many 3s, etc: I rarely sit through an entire game anymore. I don't find the product as watchable as a neutral observer. I started watching in the 70s when you could hardly get a game on TV in Ontario aside from a weekly Sunday afternoon game from the Super Bowl on. Younger me would have killed for the amount of games we get now just on TSN and RSN. Now I can't be bothered. A bit of that is just being older, but mostly it's the game itself, just doesn't seem like basketball as I knew it. Yet I still want to watch the team I care about.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Tape delay, baby! Nothing like knowing the score, before watching the game.
