Gyaatttt damn
I know silver skinhead ass gotta be fuming. Christmas Day nba used to be sacred. Featured the best superstar matchups, beat rivalries, idk what the fukk that was on Xmas, not one meaningful game.
Xmas matchups should have been
Denver vs Sixers (this was a fukking layup and they blew it)
Boston Vs Bucks (even before the trade this matchup made sense)
Warriors vs Lakers (rematch of last year)
Suns vs Mavs was a good call tho
They gonna have to start playing games on Christmas Eve

Never seen an NBA player crying about what NFL players get during free agency.
What’s to stop them from having the teams that play on Christmas play on MNF the following week and have them coming off a bye leading into the game? I have looked into the logistics but I just assumed that’s how they’d play it.
Next year Wednesday the nba should be safe
Thursday the year after? Nfl probably doing 3 more games

There's 32 teams. They could run 3 games each year for christmas regardless of the day they'd still have more than enough teams for full Sunday/Mon night games, even Sat games that same week if they wanted. All they have to do is work the byes to make it all fit
No way the NFL goes 5 years without games on Christmas when they've been crushing the NBA since they started doing it years ago, especially not now after this year's ratings. NBA's just gonna have to hold that if they even care....or actually improve the product
Imagine if the NFL played 82 games 
Wonder what ratings would be lol
@NYC Rebel need that twitter thread

With the exception of the Jordan years, March Madness has always been bigger than the NBA Playoffs. America does not love college basketball, they love the concept of a 64 (68) team sudden death tournament. The college basketball regular season is even more irrelevant than the NBA’s.
Ratings wise, the only sporting event that has proven to be able to compete with the NFL is the Olympics, and that probably wouldn’t be the case if they weren’t every four years.
The NBA is making more revenue than ever and there’s still nothing the NBA can do compete with the NFL. Football is religion in this country. The Super Bowl is basically a national holiday. Watching football on Sundays, MNFs are seen as traditions. Favorite teams are passed down through generations.
Nfl is just the better product
And I’m long time nba fan
But who wants to see teams take 45 three point shots
Same play ..pick /roll /corner 3
Parade to the free throwline
Technical for minor argument
Nba is
