Why watch NBA playoffs where guys are hugging, smiling and do not care about winning? We also already know the outcome. NHL playoffs is violent, intense and always produces a ton of upsets.

NBA is a terrible product.

I haven't cared for years. Super teams, free agency, teams draft well and guys just want to leave, impossible to build a balanced product.

I see guys hugging and high fiving and smiling on teams after losing a game 7.

I would just trashing the locker room.

If THEY don't care, why should WE care.

That's why I like guys like Draymond, he wants to rip your head off and crush. Old school mentality.

Nba is very boring and predicable now.Every time down the court is the same.Run down the court pass the ball around look for the three point shot,or drive to the hoop for a slam dunk or layup and draw the foul.That is it! But at least the aba is still being paid.

When Drake (btw why the hell is does anyone even care what he does and wtf does he have to do with basketball) is getting more coverage than your product you have a problem.

I heard the Western finals were third highest rated ever.

This is because fans/ audiences can associate Curry w GSW and Lilliard with Port.

Noone associates KD w gsw, it may have been good he was out

Noone associates Harden w Hou, Lebron w LAL, Kawhi w Tor, Irving w Bos, etc

If the stars would stay put the ratings would be huge because there would be emotional investments by fans.... it'd be fun to watch Embib battle Giannis for 10 years; Curry battle Lillard for a decade; and if KD/HARDEN/ WESTBROOK would have stuck together wouldn't it be fun to watch that core in the west versus what the Clippers had earlier this decade ???

Should be down 90%. Product is garbage. Has been for years.

All sports getting too soft.

**thechaoz** · 05-23-19, 10:26 PM

I wonder if even one million people watched tonight.

Counting bars.

I didin't. I watched and caught up on reruns of Jeopardy and I'm a god damn degenerate.

To be fair I think Giannis is amazing and all, but Leonard is autistic an no one will talk about it.

**ThaTopMoron** · 05-23-19, 10:45 PM

I miss the first half of every game because I'm outside playing competitive sand volleyball with friends having a blast, drinking a few and blasting music while we play

nba is garbage only playoffs are watchable GSW only fun to watch with KD out

**sosawestbrook** · 06-05-19, 06:47 AM

uhhhhh what?

your kidding right? this stuff again?

dude even babes that have no interest in the sport are catching on to this Finals matchup & the buzz it brings

yesterday during my league game a random babe yelled at me "hey your defense is worse then Demarcus Cousins in the 4th quarter!!!" then a random very elderly gentleman yelled at her "hey chick you aren't Drake. that shit don't fly here sit down. you are interrupting my streaming of Narcos season 3 episode 2 on my iPhone that is also capable of watching full length games at my own convenience. but I am watching Narcos now I will just tune in to see what happened with the game on twitter or check out highlights on YouTube"

I was pissed. I got a tech and they threw me out. so I sat on the bench and scrolled through instagram looking at all the top plays and post game interviews from State-Raptors game 2.

I MEAN YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY KIDDING RIGHT????????

get a clue Sherlock
