that you don't understand that cable tv ratings being down doesn't equate to the NBA losing money?
you made that pretty clear when you said the league was failing despite the fact their revenue just went up 160% per season with their new TV deal

look in the mirror Aerys, you are the only one here that is claiming a business that just signed a record deal for the next decade is "failing"
The Celtics just signed 2 players for almost $600 million guaranteed over the next 5 years

Your posts read like propaganda.

The league commissioner disagrees with you but “muh somebody spent money”
I guess those big budget movies that bomb don’t exist because “muh the studio spent $250 million so it’s good”

because I post numbers and facts rather than join the circlejerk and follow the narrative?
you are the one trying to deny the truth that is right in front of you. $76 BILLION DOLLARS

damn almost like I said 45 minutes ago

you do realize the weekly ratings change week to week depending on what else is going on in the world and what else is on tv right ?the ratings being down during an election year is pretty standard for november.

You’re literally doing exactly what I said you would while claiming you aren’t lol.

For me, it's the omnipresent ghetto culture, with a secondary over-emphasis on stars over teams.

-Reduce the schedule to 50 games
-Owners take a firmer stance during the next Collective Bargaining Agreement. Be willing to lockout to get it. Players have too much control in current model.
-Include in the agreement incentives for players actually playing games. The 'Boo Boo Ice' cannot play for weeks is garbage for in-person fans.
-Cut the roster by 1 player. Add that position to the G League.
-If a player screams 'and one' during their shot they get zero points no matter what the outcome of their shot.
-Shrink the lane by a couple inches, add that to the 3-point line.
-Reduce 'Defensive 3 Second" calls to 2 seconds.
-Extend the shot clock by another 6-10 seconds.
-Allow Goal Tending for any shot beyond the 3-point line.
-Don't call Goal Tending on shots above the rim.

Widen the court by 3-4 feet on both sides, make the 3 point line a true semicircle, and move the 3 point line back 2 ft. Make the 3 point shot harder to hit and allow more spacing, encouraging mid range jump shots again.

Eliminate the 3 entirely.
Would force more inside play.

Allow more physicality on the perimeter. You can fight like hell with a big in the paint but breathe on a guard with the ball up top and it’s a foul.
I’d start with something like that before doing anything drastic like altering the rim or changing court dimensions.

At least the guy is posting numbers, references, etc. Meanwhile you're just talking and not backing anything you say with anything.
Idk Wtf is going on with the NBA, I've been watching mostly just the postseason for a few years now, but you look bad in this back and forth.

Enforce the traveling/carrying rules they way they were originally written…no more “gather step” or guys getting away with one dribble from half court to dunk. No more 3-4 step step back threes.
Eliminate the concept of taking a charge. Half the time it’s just guys sliding underneath guys going to the basket anyways. Make defenders actually contest shots at the rim.
Since the charge is going away, got to enforce offensive players using their off hand to fend off defenders. That’s the new offensive foul. Go back and look at every big dunk from last 10 years, the off hand always shields the defender, usually hitting them in the neck/head area or completely pushes off.
Eliminate 3 seconds on both sides. Let true 7ft monsters back into the game, let them camp out in the paint. Makes the game more physical. Allow zone defense to combat that again. Scoring won’t drop off…teams that have shooters will keep people out of zones anyways.
I’m sure there’s plenty more, but that’s where I would start without changing the rim width, height, or 3pt distance.

I posted the ratings drops, he posted a purchase number then he claimed Silver said what he said when that’s not true. Silver didn’t say the ratings drops weren’t accurate he just dismissed them with excuses. That poster says the ratings drops don’t exist but that’s not true and not what silver said.
