@zarniev @sportsontvguy 10 million more viewers in just the US, if you count Canada since Toronto was a finalist it was 37.6m to 16.61m, MLB viewmogged the NBA

It's always good to have nuance in these viewership discussions.
The NBA did have higher Opening Night viewership but one MLB game was in the afternoon facing other games and the other was going against the Sweet 16.
I think that's important context when comparing viewership.
Brett Siegel@BrettSiegelNBA
The MLB's two-game Opening Day numbers on NBC delivered an all-time high of 2.7M average viewers. The Dodgers' opener following their 2025 World Series win drew 3.2M average views. The NBA's 2-game Opening Night on NBC averaged 5.6M viewers, more than double the MLB.

@benny2937373 @OptHou @ron55967579 @noahweber00 I have no idea what this even is supposed to mean, it kind of sounds like you are saying starving kids should just accept dying of starvation based on you replying to my comment

@Dave_mcpatrick @OptHou @ron55967579 @noahweber00 “That doesnt mean thats how it should be” - Starving kids all over the world

Daniel Gafford’s shirt said “faith isn’t for the weak”
On what this means to him:
“I didn’t even really see what it had said until you said something about it, but, I mean, faith isn’t for the weak because God gives his tests to his strongest soldiers. Most definitely, and I really can’t go deep into that, with the stuff that’s going on with the Ivey situation…We’re gonna keep it at that point.”

@un_0fficialboR @therealnazreid2 @Shemars_shooter @EGoldstein12345 @4_Ben_Media His rate stats are not far off from his pre injury stats so not sure what you are basing that on. Especially since year 2 post-injury is when players typically hit the peak of where they will be after injury
English
@Dave_mcpatrick @therealnazreid2 @Shemars_shooter @EGoldstein12345 @4_Ben_Media lmaoo what he’s not good enough to get 28-30mpg that’s the point

The Bible spends far more time on poverty, greed, and personal conduct than it does on homosexuality. Yet some people center everything on that one topic because punching down on marginalized people doesn't take courage. It's actually cowardice.

The Chicago Bulls are waiving guard Jaden Ivey after his recent anti-LGBTQ comments amid several rants on religion and other topics, sources tell ESPN.
English
@SuperBurnerMan @Shemars_shooter @EGoldstein12345 @4_Ben_Media Ok I was responding to someone saying he got cut because he is a bad player, that is simply not true. There are 5-7 guys on pretty much every team's bench that he is clearly a better player than
English
@Dave_mcpatrick @Shemars_shooter @EGoldstein12345 @4_Ben_Media Again, he’s not good enough for a team to keep him
MPJ has said a lot of bullshit but he’s good so all they did was take his mic
English
@Chace_THFC @boofpaks_ @AndrewJano24 @Shemars_shooter @EGoldstein12345 @4_Ben_Media Yeah he got 'replaced' because he broke his leg in January, nice self report. You don't know ball
English
@boofpaks_ @Dave_mcpatrick @AndrewJano24 @Shemars_shooter @EGoldstein12345 @4_Ben_Media Not to mention got replaced by Dennis fucking Schroder come playoffs
English
@SuperBurnerMan @Shemars_shooter @EGoldstein12345 @4_Ben_Media Let's ignore that he was a 37% 3 point shooter with a higher eFG% than pre-injury in year one off a major leg injury because of a 12 second clip of a turnover you can find of any player in NBA history

Gustavo@iamvega1982
Jaden Ivey 😂
English
@MattHarris @TJStats In the first maybe 1-2 innings he was missing up and falling behind early but at the end it was kind of hard to tell how much was him missing vs them chasing everything
English
Respectfully disagree on this one a bit. Jack wasn’t really erratic after the 1st inning, but the Zone% is so low due to the Orioles hitters expanding the zone quite a bit in the 3rd and 4th innings. Fastball command definitely does need to be cleaned up a bit going forward, but tonight was definitely more a case of just letting hitters chase good pitches out of the zone than it was poor command.
English
Jack Leiter enjoyed his 2026 debut with 8 K and 2 ER over 6.0 IP
He shied away from his fastball, leaning heavily on his entire arsenal to tear through Orioles bats. He was a bit erratic with a 39.1 Zone%, but had no issues racking up chases and whiffs. The stuff is pristine!

@burghballknower @_317_Indy_ @CMoltisantis @4_Ben_Media The reason I bring up the church isn't to nail you to it as a point of attakc but because with protestants, many have different interpretations so catholics are easier to understand what they think because you have declared dogma
English
@Dave_mcpatrick @_317_Indy_ @CMoltisantis @4_Ben_Media it’s the messages of love and inclusion that carry over and remain relevant throughout centuries. also since you keep bringing up the Church, wouldn’t you agree that the Popes now r much more progressive than 500 years ago?
English
@OptHou @benny2937373 @ron55967579 @noahweber00 Yeah I understand how it currently is, that doesn't mean that's how it should be
My response is mostly b/c this person is saying everyone's opinion is valid but he shouldn't express his, I disagree w/ that
English
@Dave_mcpatrick @benny2937373 @ron55967579 @noahweber00 Word of advice for when you enter the workforce. If you’re a mediocre employee, don’t get on an IG live criticizing one of your organizations cash cows. Two, if you’re going be controversial don’t be mediocre. Anthony Edwards and Kyrie still thriving 🤷♂️
English
@burghballknower @_317_Indy_ @CMoltisantis @4_Ben_Media Ok I don't think Christianity has stuff that can be adjusted based on modern opinion
I dont know the history of Popes but my guess is its probably not so consistent, 80% of recent ordained priests ID as conservative, I'm sure its gone equally the other way at times in the past
English
@burghballknower @_317_Indy_ @CMoltisantis @4_Ben_Media Jesus fulfilled the old testament law, this is very core Christian theology that I'm sure you know as a catholic
English
@Dave_mcpatrick @_317_Indy_ @CMoltisantis @4_Ben_Media also you never answered my question, so it sure seems like you pick and choose which sins are worth your condemnation
English
@CartoonNinja11 @RealBrysonGray @RealTalkWithMJ1 Ok I don't know what your problem is, you responded to someone saying they don't want pride forced on them, there is no contradiction between that and Christianity. Sounds like you're trying to defend pride w/o saying it b/c no one is talking about hate or anything like that
English
@Dave_mcpatrick @RealBrysonGray @RealTalkWithMJ1 All Im saying is be more tolerant like Jesus, if you have this much difficulty understanding that I pray for your brain to make a full recovery.
English
Never understood why these so called “Christians” care so much about what other people do with their own lives
NBACentral@TheDunkCentral
Jaden Ivey calls out the NBA for celebrating Pride Month “The world proclaims LGBTQ, right? They proclaim Pride Month—and the NBA does too. They show it to the world. They say, ‘Come join us for Pride Month, to celebrate unrighteousness.’” (@esidery)
English
@burghballknower @_317_Indy_ @CMoltisantis @4_Ben_Media If you think the Bible is outdated and it doesn't align with you beliefs, how are you even a Christian?
Yes, the end goal of a progressive includes support of sex work, homosexuality, transgender, etc. you didn't answer b/c it is a contradiction, how would Jesus advocate for sin
English
@Dave_mcpatrick @_317_Indy_ @CMoltisantis @4_Ben_Media how is it not applicable? lmao it sounds like you’re coping. also ofc not everything from a book written 3000 years ago aligns with my modern day beliefs, it would be crazy if it did, do u condemn people for eating shellfish, or pork?
English
@benny2937373 @ron55967579 @noahweber00 Your beliefs are equal to all others unless I don't like it then its actually hate speech and you should be fired
English
@ron55967579 @noahweber00 Literally no one needs to defend their beliefs, nobody asked ivey to talk about it he just did it for no reason, your beliefs are equal to all others, Ivey shouldnt have been fired but he also should have been giving out unsolicited hate speech berating a group of people
English
@CartoonNinja11 @RealBrysonGray @RealTalkWithMJ1 Ok so there is no difference between being against gay pride, adulterer pride, prostitution pride, etc. If your criticism is they're being too mean, I think Jesus was pretty harsh when he rebuked unrepentant sinners. We can treat them with decency & respect w/o supporting sin
English
@Dave_mcpatrick @RealBrysonGray @RealTalkWithMJ1 I didnt answer it because it has nothing to do with what I said, and the answer is no.
English
@burghballknower @_317_Indy_ @CMoltisantis @4_Ben_Media Also saying Jesus was progressive in 30 AD doesn't mean He would be progressive everywhere. Its 'inclusive' to legalize/celebrate prostitution, Jesus was not in favor of prostitution, so that makes no sense
You are coping that your personal beliefs don't align with your religion
English
@Dave_mcpatrick @_317_Indy_ @CMoltisantis @4_Ben_Media he quite literally said they would enter heaven before the righteous (how you’re acting right now lmao). Jesus was progressive and inclusive, and if you can’t see how that would manifest in a modern-day setting then idk what to tell u man
English
@burghballknower @_317_Indy_ @CMoltisantis @4_Ben_Media You cannot seriously be saying you think Jesus would be celebrating pride today. Your own church doesn't even agree with you on that. I'm not being righteous unless you also consider Jesus to be righteous in that same way when He harshly rebuked sinners routinely
English
@zarniev @sportsontvguy Wow, maybe this year the NBA Finals might be able to reach 50% of the World Series viewership!
English
@Dave_mcpatrick @sportsontvguy Viewership is up 20% retard lolololol
English
@therealnazreid2 @Shemars_shooter @EGoldstein12345 @4_Ben_Media Your team gives Terrence Shannon 15mpg and you're gonna sit here and act like Jaden Ivey is not good enough to be on an NBA roster. My entire point is people like you are going to sit here and pretend this is a basketball move
English
@Dave_mcpatrick @Shemars_shooter @EGoldstein12345 @4_Ben_Media HE SUCKS, AND HE WILL NEVER BE GOOD AGAIN, does that makes sense
English
@therealnazreid2 @Shemars_shooter @EGoldstein12345 @4_Ben_Media I agree, that is why Paul George never returned to the league after his leg injury
Do you just not understand that I am saying that he was not bad enough that a player of his caliber would typically be cut, the person I am replying to is saying it was b/c of his play
English
@Dave_mcpatrick @Shemars_shooter @EGoldstein12345 @4_Ben_Media Because HES NOT GOOD ANYMORE, BREAKING YOUR LEG WILL DO THAT
