Count me in as one of the folks who would like for them to start games earlier on Sundays again

But curry is a bigger ratings draw then bring the coli said

Coli reality distortion bubble never fails

The start time had something to do with lower numbers lets be honest. 9pm ET start is garbage

Cant shake the feeling that the Celtics go up 2-0 tonight and shock the world even more.

Usually teams who get the 1st one on the road have zero urgency for game 2. Celts haven't shown urgency all playoffs.

This is true too but I feel like they’ve been a lot better on the road than at home in the playoffs.

That's been the start time my entire life

I dont think the nikka Jordan Poole can guard anyone. Bro is such a defensive liability. Boston should attack him non stop and put him in pick and roll situations. He's a bad matchup with anyone on the floor.

There would be 5 on the west coast. People would just be getting off work. Would not make sense. Someone shared a screenshot from the '80s with the same time

Dude called it before game one. I dont think Boston is nearly the draw we think they are. The game 7 ratings for the Heat game was considered disappointing as well.

The saving grace for the NBA is the out of home numbers weren't included which should get them into 12 Milly viewers, however its still disappointing especially compared to Raptors-Ws which every clowned for lower viewership but the NBA would love to have those numbers again.
