If the league tries to exert this pressure, start expecting more populated injury reports, leading to the same issue. It's not going to change unless the schedule changes.

The solution is shortening the schedule but they'll never do that.

The strike-shortened ‘11-12 season was really fun to watch. Games felt a lot more meaningful and dudes weren’t broken down by the end.

58 game season where you play everyone twice. The games would all matter and you can space the schedule out better.

I also think we don’t need the first round of the NBA playoffs. Just cut it to 8 teams.

I know that this is like a year over year comparison thing but it just cracks me up that these people panic over NBA ratings during a period where nobody gives a poo poo about the NBA.

Man people just write poo poo about ratings and hope no one bothers to look it up all the time. NBA ratings are very solid, seem to be up, not down and it's even stronger if you excuse all the Warrior games that don't have super high ratings for obvious reasons.

We call that "The Patriot method", where nearly every player on the Patriots is listed as questionable on the injury report for a given week.

They're down from a couple years ago but I think it's mostly just LeBron moving to a west coast team. MourningView fucked around with this message at 15:22 on Nov 14, 2019 |

MourningView posted:They're done from a couple years ago but I think it's mostly just LeBron moving to a west coast team. It's absolutely this, yeah. The early slot games are getting hammered. This was almost exactly a year ago on Sports Business Journal: quote:NBA viewership is down 26% on TNT and 6% on ESPN one month into the season. Much of the sharp decline can be attributed to LeBron James’ move to the Western Conference, which has hit viewership for the early-window primetime NBA telecasts particularly hard so far. TNT is averaging 1.79 million viewers after 12 game telecasts, the net’s slowest start to a season in at least a decade. Doesn't help that Toronto's in a non-Nielsen market, and Milwaukee's like the 35th largest market. E: that's not to say the league's doomed by any means. Like someone said earlier, early season articles about ratings drops are a tradition, but nobody's paying that close of attention to early season basketball when the football goliath is still rolling.

Giving Golden State and New Orleans a combined 72 national TV games was probably not a good thing in hindsight.

It's also worth noting that TNT's streaming service is extremely bad, and their iOS app is abysmal. I wouldn't be surprised if they lose some viewers from the cord cutting contingent like me who either stream from a 3rd party site or skip the game entirely.

There's been so much movement in the NBA lately that I feel like a lot of casual fans probably don't even remember who's on what team at this point.

So you don't NEED another reason to believe Kevin Harlan owns, but have these wonderful bombs he dropped on the knicks during an interview with Awful Announcing:quote:And while there will be plenty of emotion inside the arena for Porzingis and interest in how the Fizdale situation turns out, Harlan said that the national audience doesn’t really care that much. quote:Casual fans, Harlan said, are focused on bigger NBA storylines early in the season like LeBron James and Anthony Davis in Los Angeles, James Harden and Russell Westbrook in Houston and Doncic in Dallas.

I feel like for most casual fans the NBA season doesn't really start until Christmas, so the concern-trolling over November ratings always seemed weird to me.

MourningView posted:They're down from a couple years ago but I think it's mostly just LeBron moving to a west coast team. That lead to a bad year last year, but there has been a nice uptick which had been lead by them finally having a Clipper team that is drawing interest and a Lakers team that is winning. But they definitely need a good team as a draw for the early game for sure. But those early games are still generally beating their competition though so they don’t have to worry that much.

Yeah the only thing the NBA isn't beating is football but that's not new, and nothing else is coming close to them.

Ratings fluctuate sometimes, same thing happens with the NFL. I wouldn't read too much into lower ratings in the first month of of an 82 game season.
