As a whole, the NBA has lost around 45% of its viewership since 2012.

Style of play is ass



Steph is Steph..he draws because he’s the originator of that style ..From Davidson to the league that’s him and ppl associate it wit him.


ppl is not trying to see Anfernee Simons,Norm Powell , and Payton Pritchard with the greenest lights of all time .

Coby White looked off Vucevic so egregiously to put up some bullshyt I almost had a stroke .
-

The stars are wack because that style of play is wack…these young nikkas have all the bounce and flash in the world ..but they putting up bullshyt side step threes from 35 feet…that is ass

Then a nikka wil say some shyt like “well if he shoote 34% from three it’s a good shot”


nikka plz

Sam Hauser just put a 10 3s in back to back games like it was nothing. shyt is wild.

Higher ratings would be great if only so we didnt have to see these sort of articles. But the NBA is not failing or anything.

My main suggestions are:

1. Let teams spend over the cap with no penalty but any money they spend over the cap must be matched and spent on their WNBA team.

2. Expand the restricted area. Guys sliding under dudes :dame: trying to draw fouls is disgusting and dangerous.

3. Reduce the season to 62 games. Play everyone in division three times and every other team twice. Home and home.

Bizarro suggestions:
Teams can only attempt a certain amount of threes, team fouls don't count until the fourth quarter, get rid of four point play.

Lack of defense has stifled the creativity of the players. The best highlights you’ve seen were players making something out of nothing.

A lot of games being a 3pt shooting contest is definitely boring

Then you have a large contingent of white people who used to watch back in the days, but don’t like the fact that players are outspoken on social media.

Game was better back in the day when hoopers just shutted up and dribbled, huh?

The game is just interesting as it once was. Even the number of replies on here as gone down drastically. No game thread like it used to be just a whole lot of bullshyt. When was the last interesting nba finals?

Less about it not being as interesting, and moreso about other shyt being interesting.

Like the homie @triplehate said in here - his co-worker's interest in the game is through gambling on the NBA (he doesn't even watch the games). You've got other folks whose interest in the NBA is through 2k. You've got cats whose only interest in the game is to protect the sacrality of the 90s.

The days of watching sports purely for the sake of just watching the game and nothing else are long gone.

And silver does nothing every other league does changes baseball pitch clock, mound visits . Cfb running clock

Players of today won't feel it but in the future when the tv deals are smaller and less fans going to games it will be some NHL hard cap

I've said this before.....I remember when teams had different styles of play. Some were a jump shooting finesse team, some were a physical defensive orientated team etc

It was fun to watch those style vs style matchups. Now it's all the same and it's boring.




Bob Costas pointed out the difference between slower defense oriented Eastern Conference teams and fast pace Western Conference teams here.

That might be fun to watch for you, but TV ratings aren't declining because those fun matchups don't exist anymore.

What you find entertaining and what young cats today find entertaining aren't the same thing. They're not going to suddenly get cable and sit down and watch games by traditional methods all because these so-called fun matchups make a return.

Those games were fun to you because that's what you grew up on. There were complaints about the 90s product and how it was watered down, so let's not pretend like your opinion of finding them fun was shared by everyone else.

Oh, they realize, it's a just a strawman argument for them so they can protect the 90s/80s etc. They're not really interested in having a genuine discourse around the matter.
Now explain why Baseball, WNBA, College Football, NFL, etc are not having these huge declines.

People don't like the NBA right now and you can't handle it :manny:
