good lord why are conservatives so bad at this? wow amazing troll 42 yearl old white conservative who never really watched basketball anyway. amazing.

Ratings are down, but LRC's conservative disgruntled white male obsession with starting threads about black people is at an all time high.

why are they so easily triggered?

It is because of their 'small' problem.

Ha ha, I suspect you are trolling. But regardless, I personally resent the NBA because it throws it’s radical politics in my face at every opportunity. Those politics are reliably pro-BLM, and I take a different view. In other words, the NBA does not program for people like me. The NBA doesn’t care whether I watch or not. So I don’t.

Its 2021. Sigh. The players just want to play. No different than before, but NOW, you have an issue with it/them. Maybe you need to take a long hard look into your thought processes.

Sigh yourself. No they don’t just want to play. If they did, the players would have forced the player’s union would have protested the overt political stands and pro-China support. But they didn’t. Most of the players are happy with the e politicization of the NBA. Or too frightened to say otherwise. Either way the effect is the same.

That’s a shame because I’m watching the finals for only like the second time in 10 years. The other was when Toronto won it. I tended to tune out other recent Finals when it was just going to be yet another LeBron vs Curry festival. This year it is two teams that rarely even sniff the finals and I’m enjoying it.

^This. If it was the Nets vs. Lakers ratings would have been much higher. And of course ratings are down from the series a few years back with Durant and Curry against Lebron.

More than any other major league the NBA is star-driven.

When a two-time MVP does not have enough star power to attract TV viewers, you have a serious marketing problem.

The NBA has the highest average league salary in the world by far so I would say they are doing just fine.

In fact, thats probably exactly why a bunch of dweebs on a running board seem obsessed about creating threads about them.

It's because their core audience, young men, play video games instead of playing basketball.

Once you have seen the very best everyone else in comparison is sub par. In reality the NBA was slowly dying after Jordan left. Tim Duncan,Kobe,Dirk Nowitzki,Lebron and a few others managed to keep the fire going but now its almost out and there is no fuel for it.

Phoenix vs Milwaukee? But letsrun posters stated that the NBA is rigged and LA was going to play Brooklyn or Philly.

As a Philadelphia native, I could’ve told you seventeen years ago it wouldn’t have been Philly 🤣

In all seriousness, having two small market teams in the playoffs is the reason for the low ratings. The fact that ratings are up almost 50% of the last year should tell you how much returning from the pandemic has helped.

There may be a racism element in the drop off. But I have never followed the NBA. I simply don't find basketball to be entertaining to watch.

Racism is THE reason of the drop off. No need to sugar coat it. No offense.

So just because LeBron is a racist you think the average fan thinks the whole league is racist.

Can't argue with anything you say except for the last 3 words.

I do watch because I love basketball. I tune out all the other crap like I tune out the inane commercials (on everything on TV). Actually it's a gazillion times better than it was during the bubble last year. They did kinda overwhelm you with it then. Such overkill when anyone tuning into an NBA game was extremely aware of the issues.

I would have watched if it wasn’t Phoenix vs. Milwaukee. Injuries have rendered this year as the survival platoons, not the best teams in finals. Clippers or Lakers vs. Brooklyn would have made my watch list. Instead, I’ll be watching MLB. I her their ratings are up.

Congrats on the most asinine take ever on the NBA. The NBA makeup was the same last year and the year before and the year before. Get your head out of your arse and learn to understand things. You are a joke.

The OP is a right wing troll and even though you are right wing you failed to recognize it. I respond by saying, you sir, are the joke, and I am slightly smarter than you.

It's a shi+ league for a shi+ sport played by shi+ people that have no redeemable value.

So I suppose when the ratings for golf have gone down without Tiger Woods is that racism too? You need to educate yourself boy!

I can't believe you just called the OP boy. Not cool, dude.
