Where’s the Excitement in the NBA?

Although the excitement in sports bet Australia has been piling up these recent weeks due to the NBA playoffs, the recent reports of viewer ratings for the US seems to reflect that nobody’s excited to watch the western conference finals.

One of the rare online sports betting sites that allow you to place a wager on the expensive game of politics has a take on it.

What do you look for a basketball game? Is it the rim rattling dunks or the high-difficulty shots? Well, too bad for you. The only “exciting” team left in the playoffs is the Miami Heat. The rest? The Spurs, Grizzlies and Pacers have players that aren’t entirely known for their athleticism.

As a big fan of the sport, I understand that majority of the viewing public isn’t like me. I know quite a handful of fans that would take whatever the commentator of a game is telling as the truth. I also know plenty of so-called basketball fans that seem to only know one team in the NBA. I know, this is a sad reality.

If you’re watching the game waiting for highlight plays to happen, the only team worth watching for you would be the Miami Heat. This is not a shot at Heat fans but the usual bandwagon fans are those that are allured by glitters. And right now, all the glitters are in the fine stretches of beach in Miami. And that is why the western conference finals series between the Spurs and the Grizzlies are having such a low viewer rating.

The only people left excited to watch the Spurs and Grizzlies are the teams’ fans and basketball fans that can see the beauty of basketball expressed in a way that doesn’t involve players leaping out of the building.

First Day of 2013 NBA Playoffs

With the start of the playoffs, there’s no doubt that online sports betting sites went crazy as fans and bettors placed their faith and their bets on their favorite teams. So, here’s a quick recap on what happened for the first day of the 2013 NBA Playoffs.

There wasn’t really any upset that happened during the first day with home teams winning the all the 4 games that were played.

The Knicks and Celtics game started close but the lack of offense for the Celtics later in the second half of the game gave the Knicks a separation that they were able to maintain till the end.

The Nuggets and Warriors game was the most exciting matchup of the day with the Nuggets taking the win on a last second shot by the 37-year old Andre Miller. Unfortunately for the Warriors, they didn’t just lose the game; they also lost David Lee for the rest of the playoffs due to injury.

The Bulls and Nets game resulted to a blowout win for the Nets as the Bulls weren’t able to find their shots and didn’t have the tough defensive form the team is known for.

The Grizzlies and Clippers matchup was supposed to be the more exciting one but the Clippers were able to blowout the Grizzlies that looked helpless at both ends of the court.

Anyway, if you want some more news and a trusted site for you to make a bet on, just to a quick search of “sports bet Australia” and you’ll find one of the best online sports betting sites in Australia.
