No. David Stern small market stupidity.

What Stern did to the Sonics and Seattle is evil. He is burning in hell as we speak. OKC should never be a major pro sports market. They were dead last in NBA attendance two seasons ago.

Doubt it

I don’t think most are that entertained by the play style and also don’t trust the referees

Remember when Kings were going to move from Sacramento to Seattle about ten years ago? Then, final vote changed and Kings stayed. Feels like that gets forgotten.

Seattle should have never lost the Sonics. David Stern was a shite commissioner. He also forced Seattle to try to steal the Sacramento franchise, also dumb and evil.


David Stern is garbage. Worst commissioner in sports history who rode the coattails of Bird, Magic, and Jordan.

I doubt it. They drag this out way too long. The playoffs started two months ago in the middle of April with the play-in games. That’s ridiculous. And three days between games in the Finals? You can’t hold people’s attention in this day and age like that.

Funny to see the excuses before they even play. SGA had more free throws last night when they lost by 20 than he had in game 4 that they won. He had 8 free throws in 3 quarters last night.

Game 4 he had 6 free throws until Pacers started intentionally fouling him with 23 seconds left

I consider myself a casual completely for the nba right now. I haven’t watched a game of this finals and don’t plan on watching game 7

My friends group text thread hasn’t had a single post about it either. I don’t take either of those as signs the ratings will be great

The ratings are down, not as much as NHL ratings were down but still the lowest since 2020.

The NBA made sure the Lakers will be back eventually though with the Luka trade.

This. You could have told me that this series ended last week and I would have believed you.

Arent ratings down across the board with people cord cutting?
quote:

Saturday’s Panthers-Oilers NHL Stanley Cup Final Game 5 averaged a series-high 2.7 million viewers across TNT and truTV, down 34% from the same matchup on ABC last year (4.1M) and slightly below Panthers-Golden Knights Game 5 on TNT Sports two years ago, making this year’s game the least-watched Cup Final Game 5 since 1994.

quote:

Monday’s Pacers-Thunder NBA Finals Game 5 averaged a series-high 9.54 million viewers on ABC, down 22% from last year’s Mavericks-Celtics clincher (12.22M) and the least-watched Game 5 of the Finals since Heat-Lakers in the fall 2020 “bubble,” which aired on a Friday night in October (9.19M). 

quote:

Giants-Dodgers averaged 1.91 million viewers on the latest edition of ESPN Sunday Night Baseball, down 8% from Yankees-Red Sox last year (2.07M).

The previous night, regional action on FOX featuring Yankees-Red Sox drew a 1.1 and 2.12 million — down 9 and 12 percent respectively from coverage featuring the same matchup a year ago.


I bet the number of 18-40 year old males playing video games in those windows is up 100% vs 20 years ago

Taking 17 days to play 7 games is absolutely ridiculous.

You’re kidding me. Adam Silver is the worst NBA commissioner and it’s not even close. The quality of the NBA in all phases has gone down tremendously since he took over.

Give me Stern everyday of the week
