NBA finals ratings down 11% without anybody kneeling.

[Izanami]

It's okay as long as Lebron loses

 

[Paper Boi]

i know warriors fans who didn't even watch that shyt.

they gonna be at the parade though.

NBA ratings are great. They were great during the entire playoffs. A slight decline in a lopsided finals still doesn't diminish that.
The league doesn't need to do anything.

 

[El Bombi]

I think people already know who gonna win, unless the warriors get a close series ratings will always be down. No one respects them outside of the bay

Real shyt

 

[Optimus Prime]

NBA is a 12 month sport now, Silver aint worried about the ratings

plus Summer League in July
Africa Game in August

No you don't.

 

[Paper Boi]

No you don't.

i do though?

i live in sacramento. i know a lot of "dubs fans" who didn't even like basketball in the jason richardson era.

i also literally know people who only saw game one and are still going to the parade.

why would i even make that shyt up?

my point is nobody was excited about this match up. what do i gain by lying about that?

I don't think you read are the article correctly.

They said Game 4 was down 11% vs last year's Game 4.

Game 1 was consistent with last year: NBA Finals Game 1 Scores 17.4M Viewers As Warriors Win In OT, Steady With 2017
Game 2 was down ~6%, from last years game 2: NBA Finals Game 2 Draws 18.5M Viewers; Up From Game 1 & Steady With 2017 – Update
Game 3 was consistent with Game 2: Warriors’ NBA Finals Winning Streak Continues, Ratings Still Steady With 2017
Game 4, as you noted was really down ~11%

You also aren't taking into account, that TV ratings overall are going down:

People don’t read

Would love to see GSW and Boston go at it next year. That would be a final for the ages.

But we gotta wait to see what LeBron does first.

More like people tired of seeing Lebron get his ass kicked.

It always gets me when OKC stans talk shyt about "respect" or when they get mad that KD left, as if you didn't steal the entire franchise from Seattle just to bring it to some racist tornado magnet.

Wtf does you living in Sac suppose to mean?

I'm tired of you weirdos making up unbelievable shyt and think people suppose to accept it cuz it's anonymously said over the internet. The Oracle was flooded with fans at the watch party in Oakland where the team actually plays in.



You dorks sit on the internet all day making up narratives. Log off and go experience reality.

 

[Tha_Mac]

I disagree with the premise. People are tired of seeing Bron Ball

It's basketball. We ready to see some real teams face off again. Not this tired LBJ narrative being forced down our throats.

It's the Curry Era now



Agreed

Curry era with 0 Finals MVP's

There really shouldn’t be anything posted in this thread after this.
