Which NBA teams draw the biggest ratings? Top 10 inside

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

Now that i think about it..you're right...i cant remember the last time theyve played nationally

Yeah I don't think the Knicks have been on national tv yet, in fact I think they're only scheduled for 1 national game all season.

It was against the nets in January, the day they got harden

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Surprised hornets didn’t take the heats spot

 

[Cave Savage]

Im surprised Heat are cracking top 10, half of the providers/internet providers don't carry the games cause of fox sports florida.

I think it only counts TNT and ESPN games

 

[Cave Savage]

Have the Lakers consistently been #1 since the Kobe era?

 

[Codeine Bryant]

So the highest rated teams on ESPN and TNT on weekday nights are the teams and players that ESPN, TNT, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, etc. spend all their time and resources advertising and hyping

I figured all of those - except Bucks & Heat. Thought Toronto would be in there for some reason

Why would Toronto be on the list theyre never on national TV ?

You nikkas are too dense to understand advertising and the business of the NBA,Toronto will never be on a list like this because they arent on national TV because ESPN and TNT cannot sell advertising in this market...

The only times Toronto ever played a decent number of national TV games is when Vince/Kawhi were here and they still werent on national TV as much as they should have been becasuse of the advertising caveat...

Knicks in the biggest market and not even top 10

 

[UpAndComing]

"Lull numbers in a lull season so far. It seems like the Celtics should be taking off more, in the standings and the public consciousness. They’ve got two young, ascendant star wings whose games are aesthetically pleasing. I’m not sure that the NBA has quite figured out how to market what should be a mainstay over the next decade. Some of that uncertainty has something to do with Jaylen Brown suddenly, dramatically, exceeding expectations. The story of Jayson Tatum and friends is now a dynamic duo tale. The league must adjust accordingly."

I told these guys about Giannis. Nobody gives a fukk

 

[Cave Savage]

The Nets/Lakers game did almost 2 million live viewers, biggest non-ABC game this year

I expect them to put even more Laker and Net games on national TV in the second hald of the season

Not surprising the top 6 are from big markets I been saying this for the last 3 years once the knicks and bulls are relevant again the NBA ratings will be back up sorry small market teams but big markets do matter when it comes to ratings
