2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

Link?

A link isn't needed. It is common sense. This goes for every sport. There is a reason why the championship game/series is usually the highest rates game(s) of the season for every sport. You get casual fans who doesn't usually watch the sport in the regular season watching that game.

I don't have a link. I make random shit up to try to prove my point

FIFY

This is funny stuff....

I don't want to see Warriors/Cavs 4, but I know plenty of people will watch it even if I don't. It'd probably be the best team from the East and West against each other but it's been the finals matchup 3 straight years.

That was my point lol. As a die hard NBA fan, I would love to see new teams in the finals but to say Cavs/Warriors Part 4 would be bad for the NBA is just not true.

 

[tlance]

What percentage of people watching the finals are casual fans?

90%?

Most for sure.

And what do you class as a casual fan?

Has there been any word on the tests done on Jayson Tatum's knee? I haven't seen anything yet. Hope he's fine and they are just being cautious. You hate seeing guys go down, especially young guys balling out like he is right now

Sure!

I think that a good rivalry most likely brings in more viewers than a different team when you think about - especially when you have LeBron James who is one of the best or the best player in the NBA right now. Kobe Bryant was on a losing team in his last year with the Lakers and every game was sold out just to watch him and pretty much that's the way it's been every year. I think the same thing with LeBron who will attract viewers. I don't have a link to prove my theory though and it's just an opinion

KD vs Lebron is a cash flow for the NBA. Two of their best players going at it in the Finals.

But some say that wouldn't get good ratings.

That post/logic should have been made in the Let's Just Make Shit up thread.

And what do you class as a casual fan?

People who don't follow the NBA daily. None of the regulars on here are casual fans.

Would you believe me if I told you the Cavs were on a 13-game winning streak at home?

Would you believe me if I told you a certain jackass in Boston thinks the Earth is flat? What the fuck is wrong w/ that fella!?!? Irving is proof you can't get a quality education @ dook.
