Most NBA Major Markets Down Average 20% TV RATINGS

[jjgold]

Interesting

why???

Denver an exception along with Dallas

I use to watch much more

Golf, Tennis and Soccer took it away for me so CLEAN

[WvGambler]

The product is boring as hell.

[jjgold]

Guys like James ruined it

He is just one issue though

All 3 point shots killed it too

[pavyracer]

Only 3 areas of the country still watch NBA. LA, San Fran and Boston. All other 29 markets are dead. When you have the same teams always in the finals the other teams fans lose interest. Blaming Adam Silver for this travesty.

[WvGambler]

Its just a bad brand of basketball. No ability to play defense because anything that looks like contact is called a foul. Believe it or not, but defense is 100% needed to create exciting basketball. All the players are buddies, no one is really “competing” with anyone.

This isn’t Lebrons fault, this has been the issue with basketball for the last 20 years. Before he had the pull he has now. As much as I hate Kobe Bryant, I’m man enough to admit that the league needs more Kobe’s. A lot more. All the Kobe’s. Mentally more than physically.

I think JJ is trying to pry some racial overtones comments here.

NBA is garbage to watch.

Boston and NY markets way down

Denver and Dallas markets killing it

[k13]

Good. Hopefully they go down more.

Garbage product.

[Slipknot26]

By far the worse sport to watch vs. Boring ass baseball , waiting on each pitch .
Product and changing rules to be 140-138 games ruined it , along with no traveling after 5 steps , garbage fouls .
Fukk'em , refuse to watch the Trash

[beavis13]

I can only watch if I have money on the game or maybe the playoffs.

[PromiseLand]

Bring back the Sonics and maybe I'll start watching again. March Madness is way better than anything the NBA has to offer.

[SlickFazzer]

No defense, poor fundamentals. Poor product.

Stacked Warriors team no one else stands a chance.. Why watch NBA anymore? No need to and just give them the title already..

[jjgold]

GSW way down

easily beatable

I dunno im not as high on them as i thought i'd be, something is off about them this year, they should be the favs sure but they sure as hell wont be sweeping anyone like last season

[mpaschal34]

Pitiful product when a quarter of the teams are intentionally trying to lose.

Warriors are Going thru the motions right now.. Come playoff time my money will be on GS in every series. I'll double down after each series win and let it ride til the end.

No one is touching this team in the playoffs when the chips are down.

[WvGambler]

It’s definitely the way it’s played at the pro level. It’s the only sport where the product gets worse as the player pool improves. As much as I love college football, the nfl is still a better product. MLB blows college and minor league away.

For some reason, college hoops is a 10/10 and the NBA is like 3/10. A lot of that has to do with atmosphere also. NBA crowds are just there to be seen. No one is really rabidly watching like college.

[jjgold]

I watch some college hoops

not bad and they play hard

Yea i feel you, and you probley right jibbs

[pavyracer]

I blame it all on the millenials. They don't watch NBA. In 20 years from now sports will go in a big decline because the younger generations don't watch sports.
