I'm honestly not sure it's the three point shot that is the problem. Personally i think it's more the obvious tanking, Inconsistent referee's, and like six different ways you have to watch games. Yes I do feel they could extend the 3 point shot.

Why would the numbers be close? NFL is #1 every year.

This could be a positive effect of having so many ways to watch the games but I think maybe on Christmas day it was because they were all on the same channel? The Lakers might have benefitted from being on the prime time spot also?

Boy, American viewers really love watching advertising briefly interspersed with large men running at each other.

12 straight hours of games surely has nothing to do with "most watched"... That's a disingenuous way of avoiding the actual ratings.

compared to soccer where small men run away from each other?

Mike Brown fired.

Hopefully there’s a fire sale we can take advantage of.

Doubt it.

Sitting on his hands is Cronin’s fave past-time

I stumbled across Ron Artest’s instagram. I was always a huge fan of his especially before joining the Lakers. He was kind of the Mike Tyson of the NBA

nice to see he’s kept his nose clean since retiring. Looks like a good family man and very charitable.

Or simply more people watched than the last couple seasons?

Not sure if Mike Brown is a good coach or not (without LBJ) ......but talk about a small starting lineup.
6'3", 6'3" 6'6", 6'8", 6'10".

 

[PDXFonz]

The coaching position is largely overrated in sports.There’s a small list of great coaches, a large list of okay coaches, and a small list of bad coaches.

Getting decent numbers across a lot of games back-to-back isn't the same as having great ratings for any one game. They stacked the deck to get their viewership.

Jaden Ivey fired Mike Brown

Soccer is 90 minutes without commerical.

In looking at his resume, Id be happy with him as a 'retread' coach.

It seems to me that every time he has gotten fired, it was after his team 'overachieved' relative to the talent level & then the GM made roster moves that made the team worse.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

It's kind of bizarre that De'Aaron Fox is supposedly the top clutch player in the league, and also the Kings rank pretty well with positive point differential and FG differential, but they seem to be losing a lot of close games:


Sound to me more likely a roster/player issue. If the Lakers were smart/not so cheap, they'd quickly fire JJ Redick and (re-)hire Brown. LeBron has had much more success when coached by Brown than Redick.

That would be funny if it was remotely accurate. Or funny.

Naji Marshall throws punch at Jusuf Nurkic for shoving him in the face

Nurkic, Marshall, PJ Washington ejected from game.

You can (maybe) scratch Naji Marshall from tomorrow's game in Portland?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Fuck we picked the wrong center

 

[Cugel]

7 ft 4 and 1.1 block per game? that aint great. SGA has 1.1 bpg too.

I hate the Mavs. I wish he punched Luka instead of slapping whoever that guy is.

I'm a Purdue fan. But always preferred defense.

There's a LOT more to defending than blocks.

He's a decent defender (average). He makes a big impact on the offensive side of the ball

Brother think what you want to think. The league doesn’t give a shit about supposed less viewership for 1 reason and 1 reason only…… You see how much they are receiving on the new contract that starts next season FAMS!?!? Cut that check…….. I PROMISE you the next one will also be that much of an increase. SOMEBODY is watching.

Nurkic struck first. He should have never went back. He escalated the situation.
