The NBA season is tortuously long. The 82-game schedule runs from October to June, and games are 48 minutes. While that leaves plenty of opportunity for awesome moments, there's a lot of down time during games, which can lead to unfocused/shitty play. Like when it's the middle of the 3rd quarter at a Bobcats game in March and the Magic are in town, what's the point of even trying to play real NBA basketball? Yet even when the season is on the line, players manage to royally screw up (1995 Patrick Ewing is still sitting in the shower at MSG, weeping softly).
