There were seven All-Star-level NBA players on the Celtics and Heat in the building atop North Station last night, not counting Juwan Howard, whose expiration date has passed. Guess how many of them actually suited up for the game? One.

Bob, Agree with you 100%....the NBA should have reduced the prices of the first 10 games of the season and the last two this week. Also, it is interesting to note that our local football team never does this..Bellichick plays meaningless games with his starters at least for a half...in a much more physically demanding sport...everyone is hurt at the end of the season..another admirable trait of his regime....R
The NBA and the NHL allow so many teams in the playoffs that the regular season is comparatively meaningless. Teams have a strong incentive to rest their best players at the end of the season.
It's missing for quite a while. It's now a league of very selfish individuals. The team concept is mostly gone. too many players coming into the league who are not ready. Way too many teams make the play-offs so the regular season is meaningless. I can go on and on. It's certainly not my game of choice to watch anymore and it was my favorite as I go back to the last year when Bob Cousy played.
I didnt mind watching the scrubs play. They played hard and won and it was good to see how good, or not good, they are. Wouldnt want to see it for 82 games, but 1 or 2? I'll take it.
The people that buy tickets to this joke schedule are getting what they deserve. They must have money to burn.
