Mike Francesa NBA rant- "the NBA is in crisis mode"

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

It's an actual fact the NBA is growing every year. The finals will more than likely be the highest rated ever.

The NFL is losing popularity and went so far to blame Colin Kaepernick for why the ratings went down how about it's just a poor product?

NFL is paying espn to force football on the people YEAR ROUND and it's still losing viewers.

But u have to admit that's not a good thing for a league

why isnt it good for the league? Because people like Francesa who only tune in during May say so?

I enjoyed this NBA season, so I disagree. If you have a problem with the Cavs, don't watch the Cavs.

Lonzo and Lavar coming to give ratings another boost

Boston going to sign a white star player this summer, another ratings boost

He is a MLB fanatic and their ratings were WAY worse and were only saved by the Cubs last year. They been in a free fall for 10 yrs.

It's approaching. Depending on how the Finals go. ...




Lebetard is talking about the same thing right now

He is and Lebatard just said "the leagues in a dangerous place" but it's different to people when somebody like Francesa says it

Their shooting the messenger moreso then the message

He's more of a NFL guy then anything else

NFL is banking on a 40 year old quarterback and beef with the commissioner like its the WWE to save the sport

NBA has fixable issues and major star power, it'll be fine

Good posts... Regarding the "killing smaller markets"...

....Cowherd was saying yesterday that he is in favor of contraction and he'd do away with nearly all of the smaller market teams . I think that's extreme but i am pro contraction. That's for sure.

.

i don't see how the top teams not giving a sh1t about the regular season is good for the league?

All these pro leagues struggling right now

The only change I would make to the NBA season is get rid of eastern and western conference and divisions.

Everyone plays each other close to an even amount of games.

The NBA is boring, I stopped watching 5 years ago.

The regular season doesn't mean anything, and its the same 3 people in the final every year.

Any team Lebron is on has been in the final like the last 7 years or something. You basically know every year which team is going to be in the finals, the only surprise team in the past couple of years were the Warriors in their first big year.


Besides that, you basically knew it was going to be Miami and San Antonio, or Lakers when they were big. In the finals every year. Its boring.

The NFL Regular season is 10000000x better than the NBA, Playoffs too imo.

NFL is more fixable than the NBA.
