The average person on the streets does not know the NBA playoffs are going on

[carolinakid]

that how bad the nba is today, just not even move the needle

 

[theriver55]

How do you fix it CK? any suggestions?

 

[Wagerallsports]

Scottie Scheffler, Caitlin Clark, NHL Playoffs, UFL all taking attention away from NBA

 

[carolinakid]

i dont think you can fix it today

 

[carolinakid]

most kids dont stay in college long enough these days imo to learn the game and that why it all about 3 pt shooting in the nba

The average person doesn’t even watch sports.

The lower, the education, the more TV watching there’s a direct correlation

 

[BobbyFK]

We aren't average here CK

feels like nba drafts are getting weaker and weaker

The talent level in the NBA is higher than it ever has been

Even the older generations say this

The talent gap between NBA and college basketball has never been wider

College basketball quality of play is absolutely awful. Just guys who can't hit 17 foot jump shots

They coast in the regular season NBA obviously -- you have to because it's 82 games. But NBA playoff basketball is by far the the highest quality of basketball on Earth

There is no debate

NBA players great
No idea how college kids can make rosters

They have production issues. Wish they didn't have so many noises during the game.

But pretty much everyone I know is aware that the playoffs are going on. It's a long postseason, and interest will just keep going up

NBA is doing well. Just is never going to be the NFL, which is expected.

 

[carolinakid]

let see what the rating are

 

[stormtrooper8]

Who cares what flash in the pan ratings say? You could make the conclusion that women's bball is on the cusp of being great because of 1 player

We've been hearing this crap for years.

Yet NBA continues to thrive

If some people prefer to watch 20 year old rock fights where the first to 60 points wins over NBA playoff basketball, then they probably don't really like basketball in the first place

Gonna bring a shit ton of $

Lather, rinse, repeat

Downfall of NBA was supposed to happen when MJ left, yet the opposite has happened

most people just dont care about the nba, you are looking at it from a betting thing

 

[carolinakid]

i bet you anyone here could go out in their city and ask 10 people they dont know if they watching the nba playoffs and i bet you you would not get 3 out of 10 watching

No I'm looking at it from a fan standpoint. I know a lot of people who love the NBA and don't bet

i bet you anyone here could go out in their city and ask 10 people they dont know if they watching the nba playoffs and i bet you you would not get 3 out of 10 watching

3 out of 10 would be fantastic......
