The rest of the weekend was a dud. On Sunday, ABC earned a 2.55 and 3.90 million for Thunder-Blazers Game 1

Man.. Kobe's retirement was really the final nail in the NBA's coffin

Adam Silver is a complete loser.

Maybe if teams would've stuck to the former gentlemen's agreement not to spam threes (thanks Morey), this wouldn't have happened.

Makes me wonder who gave the greenlight to alllow no defense in the current NBA. Did they do a survey and think of everyone wants to see no defense, jacking shots at a higher rate allow higher , faster offenses?

[STATUTORY]

no one wants to watch free throw competitions

It's Lebron's legacy.

The league removed defense to postpone the inevitable decline of Lebron.

Warriors is the only team worth watching now.

More people streaming, plus the biggest loss...which is no playoff Lebron.

Its was much more fun watching defensive battles in the tournament than watching the 3 pt chuckfest NBA. I dont mind the 3pt chuckfest when its a battle between 2 really good 3 point shooting teams but when you have retards like Darren Collison pulling up for 3 in a 2 on 1 fastbreak and Andre Drummond spamming 3s the game becomes unwatchable

My first thought when I saw the title was "NCAA players don't even get paid, AND it's against the rules for them to get any kind of compensation".

no Lebron, no viewership

There's less people streaming then there were streaming before. No one wants to watch this pussified version of basketball with it's current set of rules. Even if MJ were playing, viewership would be down under this rule set.

Sounds like you should let things go, start watching different sports, and stop wasting your time on ISH

I find it kind of unusual that you have the Bucks with the best regular season record. Giannis who most think is this years MVP. So what's the best way to promote this great up and coming team and it's superstar?? Televise their playoff games on NBATV, a channel that probably more than half of America doesnt even have!!

I might be making a BFD about nothing, but I dont recall any 1 seeds playing on an obscure channel in the postseason. Obviously I could be wrong, but just dont remember it happening before.
