CMV: Only the last 10 minutes of a basketball game are important to watch.

I can’t see how watching anything but the last 10 minutes is useful or interesting in a basketball game. If the game is a blowout, it’s over already. If it’s close, then the only time that actually matters is the last 10 minutes. 

There is so much scoring and back and forth, it makes the earlier parts of the game feel meaningless. A team can be down by 20 at the start of the fourth quarter and still come back to win. You might say this means the comeback is interesting to watch, but it’s still only happening in the last 10 minutes. Particular baskets being made in the earlier parts of the game might be interesting in and of themselves, but they’re not really important to the final result. 

Please help change my view so I can find a way to enjoy basketball games in their full. 

Note: I don’t feel this way about other major sports because scoring isn’t as frequent as it is in basketball. It’s so frequent that it’s almost guaranteed with each possession. This desensitizes the excitement of scoring and playmaking for me.

I mean, if you don't enjoy basketball, you don't enjoy basketball! If you find basketball boring, but for some reason care about the results, even the last 10 minutes might not be interesting. Just check the final score on ESPN. But if you enjoy watching basketball, you'll probably enjoy the early parts of the game as well. But you don't have to like basketball!

To put it another way, if all you care about is the score changes, you can get that entirely from the live scores on the ESPN without watching the game at all. If you're a basketball fan, you enjoy watching people do layups and dunk and make 3-point shots, and do cool little pivots and passes, and probably just enjoy the visceral *sound* of the game. The squeaking and the bouncing and all of that. But if you don't, you probably just don't like basketball, and that's okay!
