They'll never admit it, but Stern ruined the initial excitement of the playoffs by switching to best of 7 instead of best of 5 in the first round. March Madness works because there's the occasional upset and best of 7 almost removes that possibility.

They'll never do one game elimination, but if it's best of 3 I bet their ratings jump immediately.
Were the ratings for the NBA playin game higher relative to the nba postseason?

From a quick google it seems like the Lakers-Warriors play in game was 5.6 million and the average for playoffs that year was 3.23 million. That could be skewed because it's LA and the Bay Area, and also Bron and Steph, so we won't know if that's really true until this year.

NBA viewership continues to surge over the “bubble”

......but my other theory about the NBA's championship or nothing discourse has ruined everyone caring about the regular season and anything before the conference finals. The NFL has help with gambling and fantasy football to keep the casual/day to day folks paying attention, but the NBA don't have that and all of the media partners only push the major cities, major stars, and if a star doesn't have a championship they push a narrative he needs to leave to get one.

Only thing is college basketball only gets eyes and ratings during March Madness. People that say they prefer college over the NBA is just talk cause the numbers & ratings say hardly anyone watches its regular season theses days
