I just saw a report saying the NBA ratings are down 45% and game 3 was the least watched in recorded ratings history.

I also saw a report where Adam Silver said next season will focus on “returning to normalcy.”

Money talks!

Nobody is watching. In fairness, the circumstances are odd and they competed against the NFL (which they will never win), MLB playoffs, and other programming. There is a reason the calendars are set where they are. 

The NBA is reported to have lost $200MM from China this season. That's a lot of loot.

In preparation of winning on Friday night, the Lakers decided to wear the Black Mamba jerseys reserved for Game's 2 and 7. They know it is not going beyond tomorrow night, so Black Mamba jersey it is for the closeout.

Rich Paul and Maverick Carter are presently going over the media talking points for the GOAT conversations. "While 4 rings in 17 years isn't as good as 6 in 12 seasons, 'Bron has only been given a competent roster 5 times. Case closed." LeBron will be released from his prison sentence  this weekend and home in time for Taco Tuesday.

LeBron hand picked his rosters. It's his own fault. #NeverGOAT

Is Jimmy Butler the best player in the league?

No. He's really good and playing great but he's no more the best player in the league than Kawhi was last year when everyone was fawning over him.

Snottie is in his feelings because people are going at his king. 😂

KING?! The guy is a bum. The way he whines about calls, and subtweets teammates is a disgrace to the game. And let’s not even get into the way he uses his platform.

Lakers are putting on a defensive clinic in Game 6 and this season is a wrap. Time for the LeBron stat pad to ensure Finals MVP.

😉

[bugatti]

I know he will not win MVP, but there is not a better two way player than AD. His impact on the defensive end is on par with his UK stint. The Heat can’t run anything within 15 feet of the rim without looking over their shoulder for The Brow. He has made this team the best regular season defensive team, and it continued through the playoffs.

How much longer can LeBron play at this level ?

The man cut weight and looks like a 22 year old out there. Amazing...

When I switched over to the game, the score was 82-49.  Yikes.
