I heard ratings are down this year's playoffs. Any reason why?

[keep-itreal]

Is there something or someone missing this year? Does anyone actually care about Nugs VS Blazers?? :oldlol:

[GimmeThat]

well, the line for Nuggets are -5.5 on game 7, and over/under on Raps/Sixers is at 207.5

who knows, this may be the year everyone wants the basketball players to succeed? you're a winner even if you lose? your uncle isn't creepy and fighting your big brother gets you no where?

what's next, you're a nerd for watching an actual basketball game?

[jstern]

Wasn't it down for the regular season? So naturally it's going to be down for the playoffs.

[Spurs m8]

Because the warriors are gonna win it again and teams like Houston are unwatchable.

No one cares anymore

Next year things will change again.

Not enough Spurs this season.

That Denver/SA series was entertaining to watch.

[kennethgriffen]

i'm not gonna deny the importance of lebron to ratings.. its like watching a car wreck. nobody wants to see the raptors/sixers/bucks fail... the warriors can only attract so many people


sports are about love/hate relationships.. without someone to boo youre only appealing to half of the fan base

These playoffs have been pretty damn good. If viewership has been down they are missing some good games

[Gileraracer]

Of course everyone wants to see Lebron lose another finals

[coin24]

Apart from a few blowouts these playoffs have been great so far.

If viewership is down blame the shitty coverage that hasn't marketed the game properly.
I've been saying it for ages espn etc needed to be promoting other stars and hyping playoff teams. Instead they stuck with bran and the dumpster fire lakers.
They rather focus on the drama of who's going where in the off season instead of the current group of players and games..:facepalm

Save that shit for the off season.

I cant wait for a more exciting finals series, instead of a stat padding d1ckhead looking for his own stats, at the expense of the win.

Continuing from the other thread, how can one person be this obsessed with another grown man playing a sport? Sad.

It's a mystery. But, we can't stop Bron stans here from hating on Kobe and MJ. :confusedshrug:

the electoral college strikes again

[ImKobe]

Sunday is about to be one of the biggest Playoff days in NBA history. And Lebron is in none of those series.

[superduper]

No Bran no casuals.

And this playoffs has been one of the most exciting playoffs in recent years. As usual, ratings aka stats don't mean shit.
