Clark pulling better numbers.

Hopefully things pick up once the world series is over

After strong opening night, NBA falls off during first week

After TNT started the NBA season strong with increased viewership, audiences dropped in the NBA's first week.

1. Basketball starts 2 early
2. Star players not playing
3. Game has become a 3pt shooting contest that become stale and boring

they just signed the new media deal... bet numbers end up better next year .

Casual fans don’t check for NBA until like all star break. That’s probably gonna be the average until then.

Opening night ratings were up, all that tells me is the Celtics are America’s team

 

[Canada Goose]

Ratings will pick up once the "In Season Tournament" starts. Last year that Tournament gave the NBA a nice little ratings boost...

Nothing else matters during football season in this country.

I’m pretty confident going against an historic MLB World Series is the key to this. Luckily for the NBA the dodgers finna end this by game 6

Stupid MFs showing Celtics/Pacers instead of what could possibly be Bron’s last game in Cleveland

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Let me know when the money stops being guaranteed. That’s the ultimate sign viewership is suffering right?

I know another league where 100 million people watch every game but the player’s money is always subject to change

Embiid & PG didn't play, why would ratings be up for that

Pacers/Knicks was also a blowout by halftime, and went against Yankees/Dodgers

Friday’s games were the only ones going up against the World Series. Which that’s just horrible luck to have the Knicks & Lakers playing games at the same time that the Yankees & Dodgers are playing in the World Series

The other ESPN double header was tainted by injuries with Embiid, PG, Middleton & Kawhi out
