As a fan of the Mavs the 2006 Finals starting in the 4th quarter of game 3. Ugh.

Behind that one it was the 2007 series with the We Believe Warriors.

Although, watching Larry Bird hit the floor and break his FACE against the Pacers was seriously hard to watch.
The Mavs are dead to me now.

I hate watching 3 point shooting teams getting the offensive rebound then getting another attempt a three.

Casuals being attracted to the game by super teams. I mean, dont get me wrong it brings insane money to the game. But its a shame it works that way


Casuals as well as a lot of RealGM posters often refer to the 80s as the "golden era" of the NBA, when it was dominated by 2 superteams.

They speak of that era with such romanticism and nostalgia while at the same time complaining about lack of parity and superteams in today's game (when there has actually been far more parity). It's just the ultimate irony to me.

A YouTuber once said
"Luka carries himself like he has white privilege on the court"

Watching him crying for fouls is an eyesore.

That YouTuber's comment is agonizingly stupid. :lol:

Superteams, I guess you are correct. But not alleged superstars running away from tough situations to team up and take the easy path.

Nothing and I mean absolutely NOTHING is more agonizing to watch than "load management". Games you circle on the calendar only for one or both sides to be sending all roles players on the court with their stars more than capable of playing but chilling on the bench.

I hated Karl Malones guts when he played, and still do to a degree but in retrospect I admire him for being there every night no matter what until he was 40 years old and had that injury.

Most agonizing thing?

Having ownership sell to an out of town group whose primary mission is to move it. Watching that unfold & not being able to do a damn thing about it.

Was a huge Kings fan back in the day because of Bibby. That Webber missed 3 to tie the game against the TWolves in game 7 will forever haunt me. I still vividly remember it to this day

As an NBA fan, Russell Westbrook having the ball is the most agonizing thing to watch.

As a Bucks fan the answer is letting some scrub have a career night against us.

.4

I still maintain that while a jumpshot can be legally taken in .3, a TURNAROUND jumper cannot be taken in less than half a second.

Them's the breaks. I'm just glad we got 3 more after that.

Good question OP.

What is the most agonizing thing to watch as a fan, you ask?

I dunno, I'd say probably the NBA.
