I think ratings were always high just young nikkaz finally got a nielsen box :ehh:
this is when the NBA shines. Unfortunately for them, their time to shine to content creators and slow Americans isn't during their regular season unless you actually enjoy basketball

and then the ones who enjoy basketball somehow expect Wizards vs. Nets in early April to resemble the playoffs in terms of intensity.

They are allowing teams to be more physical and games have been very entertaining.

You also have huge markets, Celtics, lakers, Knicks all in the playoffs along with a mix of new stars and Bron and Steph still playing.

First round has been very good :ehh:

The only real bad series was cavs vs heat

even grizzlies vs thunder, grizzlies still fought hard in most games and it was entertaining.
Celtics vs Magic, physical series and most games were close yesterday it changed when banchero went out

Even the series that are up now 3-1 Nuggets/Clippers, rockets/warriors , Lakers/timberwolves could easily be 2-2 or 3/1 for the other that's how close most games have been.

I thought 3s were killing the game though?

  • 12 of 16 teams shot fewer 3s in the playoffs.
  • Biggest drop: Celtics (-17.0), Rockets (-6.0), Timberwolves (-5.1).
A Few Teams Increase Volume
  • 4 of 16 teams shot more 3s in playoffs: Lakers (+3.5), Thunder (+2.7), Heat (+2.6), Cavaliers (+2.3).
