Is Watching Lakers games STRESSFUL for you?

I'm always stressed when I watch Lakers games, sometimes I sweat, usually my heart rate is higher than normal when I'm watching the game.

Anyone else have these scenarios happen to them?

P.S. Lets get HOME-COURT

That's what I was saying to my brother. I was like "you think work is stressful, you try being in my position and watch Lakers games regularly" :lol:

I TOTALLY get stressed watching laker games, well at least the really important games. When they get the W it makes it all worth it in the end. Great win tonight!!!

I don't get stressed unless it's a very close game that is going back-and-forth and down to the wire.

I would say that watching Lakers games is more agitating than anything else.

It wouldn't be a game without it. Blowouts you can just sit back & relax, but blown leads or being down gets the blood pumping!

competitive sport is the best unscripted drama of all

yeah it is.

Do you remember that game a couple of years ago against the Kings, when we basically had the game in the pocket, we just had to run out the clock, and Odom inexplicably drove to the basket with like 15 secs left on the shot clock and committed an offensive foul, then Bibby tied up the game with a 3, and we lost in OT, to this day, i remember i couldn't sleep that night

Is it stressful?? a little bit, not when they lose, but its the WAY they lose, like that game against the Suns last week where they had a lay up drill in the first half

I've been a bit more stressed lately... But that's because it feels like we're backing into the play-offs...

Anybody else feel that way?

It seems like about this time last year we were ramping up our intensity and driving for the goal...
This year, we seem to be wearing down and eaking out wins.

I'm just concerned across the board... That leads to stress during the games, I guess.

hell yeah! i get so pissed off sometimes watching the game especially when we start beating ourselves or fish running in trying to make a lay up and miss the whole basket i guess he thinks he CP3 or somebody. my wife and family knows not to bother me doing the game unless were smashing that A$$!!!! 8-)

I'm the same way with all that except that i don't get stressed, i get agitated like semi-sentiment said.

i hate it when they blow big leads or play pathetically like in POR, i end up goin to bed all pissed off. then the next morning i gotta hear about the loss as if itz not enough that i myself am already goin over the shudda cudda wuddas :-?
