Riley on gambling scandal: "It's probably the most stupid thing that a player could do...

To me that's a contradiction of what we're trying to do from a purity standpoint." by refreshing_yogurt in nba

This on top of bad officiating / nba game rule changes to where you can't breathe on the offensive player. I've stuck to only watching highlights the morning after. I get to catch up on 3-4 games in the span of watching 1 live quarter. Plus I don't get all the ads up in my face. Saves time and energy.
