Manfred will forever hold the ire of Braves fans for the BS he pulled with the ASG in 2021, but there have been some positive changes under his watch that have made the game more watchable. He doesn't hold a candle to Adam Silver as far as WOAT commish.

I’m not saying this is a great or a bad take but it’s definitely the first I have heard of someone saying that sports in general has jumped the shark. Interesting take and kind of bizarre.

Noah Eagle read a promo during the game that NBC is showing MLB next Sunday night. I figured NBC was airing NBA games on Sunday night until the season is over, but apparently not. The ESPN scoreboard also shows no NBA NBC game next Sunday night.

If you wanted to bypass the subscription, you should be able to listen to the game on your phone through the ESPN app as well.

NBA regular season lasts until 4/12 if I'm not mistaken. I'm not sure what NBC's playoff schedule is.

It's on NBC Sports Network and available on YouTube TV but will be on NBC once the NBC regular season finishes up

And the Houston sports fans will be on the Texans train and have forgotten all about the Astros by then

Hell whatever happened to Monday Night Baseball from the 70's?

will take a lot to top the most overrated commissioner of all time, David Stern, whose legacy is moving successful large market teams to tiny AAA markets. Memphis, OKC, Sacramento, while one of the most successfully supported franchises in NBA history, the SuperSonics, were taken away due to his vengeful spite. He rode Magic, Bird, and Jordan’s coattails, and is now roasting in hell for his sins.
It will take Manfred a lot to ever match the shityness of Stern. Such as moving the St. Louis Cardinals to Omaha because he is a small dicked, spiteful shithead like Stern.
NBA capitalizes on Madness matinees with strong Sunday night audience
On a day of March Madness matinees, the NBA’s new media rights deal allowed it to capitalize on an unopposed primetime window.
Last weekend’s Knicks-Thunder NBA “Sunday Night Basketball” game on NBC averaged a combined 3.4 million viewers across Nielsen (1.6, 3.07M) and Adobe Analytics, marking the largest NBA audience during March Madness in a decade — since Warriors-Spurs on ABC in 2016 (5.2M).
The NBA is usually off of broadcast television for the entirety of the NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, but the new “Sunday Night Basketball” package allows the league to take advantage of an unopposed primetime window on Elite Eight Sunday, the only night of the men’s tournament on which there are no competing primetime games.
Not counting NBA TV, the last NBA game to air in that window was a Heat-Thunder NBA Finals preview on ESPN in 2012, which was the network’s most-watched game of that season with 3.5 million. On the rare occasions ABC would air a game on Elite Eight Sunday, it would be in afternoon windows directly opposite college basketball — usually resulting in audiences at or near season-lows.
Oklahoma City’s win was the most-watched sporting event of the week outside of March Madness, topping each of the MLB Opening Week games. (Keep in mind that only one of those MLB games aired in primetime absent tournament competition, the Netflix-exclusive season opener.)
The combined audience ranks as the highest for an NBA game this season since Celtics-Lakers on “Sunday Night Basketball” in late February.
The Warriors-Nuggets nightcap averaged 3.0 million across Nielsen (1.3, 2.37M) and Adobe. Both games outdrew the previous week’s Timberwolves-Celtics game on “Sunday Night Basketball,” which averaged a combined 2.4 million (1.89M per Nielsen) opposite a full night of tournament games.

Miss the days of John Miller and Joe Morgan calling the Sunday Night game of the week on ESPN as part of my childhood growing up.

He is right behind Bud Selig and Jay Monohan (ex PGA Tour) but could easily pass both of them up.

Wow someone is so butthurt lol. The franchise is doing fine and a new $1b coliseum is being opened in 2028. To add, we had the 17th away fans so teams wanted to see us in other cities.
TV is where the money is. I’m sorry Seattle was a poorly run franchise but to still be mad all these years is funny to me.
One thing we got is this.
In the last 160 games OKC is 130-30. Not bad. Not bad at all. I love we trigger fans, its nice to be on the top looking down at everyone else. Won’t last forever but accomplished a lot in the OKC years. Their record in OLC sin e moving is the best in NBA. Thats pretty good for small market OKC. And it triggers you making it all the better

Thread about Sunday Night Baseball and you’re posting pics of the Thunder ring.

I believe that ESPN decided to reserve Sunday nights for the WNBA and women’s soccer.

NBC is supposed to show a game next Sunday night.
ESPN has an NBA game at 5:12 PM and another at 7:35 PM
I have a choice of what to watch. That's a win for me!
