Kinda ruins it that the League backs a racist narrative and a lot of the players as well. Plus the whole bubble thing doesn’t help either.

10-01-2020, 12:53 PM #3Surely, this is all because of LeBron and not an underwhelming Miami team nobody cares about and no on can name as single player on outside the NBA universe.Originally Posted by IsLifeRealLife
Surely, LeBron's top jersey sales are a fluke.

I knew the ratings would drop but not that much.
And if you are an idiot who thinks this isn't a big deal, ratings make a big deal in regards to TV deals which then affect salaries. Salary cap goes up every year usually but if they find out ratings are sucking, their TV deals will go down and so will their contracts.
We saw how butthurt and stupid NBA players like LeBron were when Daryl Morey supported HK cause it affected their money.

Lebron and racism has nothing to do with the low ratings. How long have you all be watching basketball? It's boring to watch now, it's politically correct and all fast paced offense with no defense.
Bring back 90s basketball

So we’re just gonna ignore progressive cord cutting and utilization of streaming services to push narratives. Got it.
All it takes is Mookie Betts, Steph Curry, and Joe Burrow all sitting in the same car in order for one drunk driver to make the world a significantly better place.

Unless you're a hardcore LeBron fan the storylines are few and far between in this series.
No Giannis, no defending champs, no Celtics vs Lakers storyline. No disrespect to the Heat but nobody is tuning in to see them. People will tune in to see the Lakers lose but obviously the Heat need to make it close for that to happen.
The potential juicy storylines for the WCF fizzled out too.

I agree with this, except for the part no one tuning in to see the heat. I definitely did watch the game but if they get clapped in game 2 like they did game 1, that'll be the last game i watch and we're full speed ahead to football season.Originally Posted by skinnyfat88

The Dodgers playing in the offs and the 9PM est start time doesn't help
Also doesn't that this thing was a blowout early.. most changed the channel pretty quick
LeBron leaving the East was the worst thing that could have happened to parity in the league, the numbers point that out

The literally have political statements plastered all over the court and jerseys. People just want to watch sports without being reminded of real world bs. Might be why the UFC is doing amazing right now.

If you aren't black you must quit watching sports.
Watching sports, such as football, is a form of slave owning because your watching black people hurt themselves so you can be entertained.

How good is Doncic? Yugoslav sportsmen are pretty amazing. If Yugoslavia were still a country they be dominating in football (soccer). Ridiculous talent pool given their population.

I dunno if cord cutting would by itself explain the large drop off
I think there are several factors. But if you think the SJW stuff doesn't play a part, you are being willfully dense

It’s a combination of the SJW stuff, and the fact that every game feels like a scrimmage. It just doesn’t have that playoff atmosphere.
Political messages — of any kind — on courts and jerseys will polarize fans and viewership

If you're tuning in to see the Heat vs the Lakers, you prob would've tuned in to anyone vs the Lakers is what I meant.Originally Posted by W1LLW
I cheer for the Raps and Warriors. I'll tune in to see Luka, sometimes the Clippers and Nuggets.
I can possibly get behind watching Giannis vs the Lakers or the classic Celtics vs Lakers rivalry.
I'll turn on the 4th of this series if it's tight and the Heat have a chance to win (not if they're down 2-0 though). Outside of south beach, I think the Heat bring the least to the table of the other 4 top teams in the East this year as far as appealing storylines or fan bases outside of their region. If they make it close then people will watch. If not, people will stop watching very easily.

Would much rather watch the Jets vs Broncos than the NBA finals this year
