Every NBA playoff eastern and western conference finals game since game one has been awful.

@burackbobby_ I can definitely see that. Particularly with the Spurs being such a young team as well.

@Zoriob Fair point. I was more about the betting. If it’s OKC -5.5 for Game 7, I’d adjust the line to OKC -9.5 and get better value.

Spurs-Thunder: Game 1: an all-timer Game 2: OKC in blowout Game 3: OKC in blowout Game 4: Spurs in blowout Game 5: OKC in blowout Game 6: Spurs blowout OKC is going to win Game 7 in a blowout. Bet accordingly.

Advice to NBA if Trump attends a Knicks finals game: welcome him! Tens of millions of Trump voters love basketball & stopped watching because NBA insulted & rejected them. Since then ratings have tanked. Disastrous for NBA. Welcome back Trump voters. Republicans buy sneakers too!

@Outkick With regards to NBA ratings, this site is a bigger joke than any cable news outlet out there. Game 1 of this series was literally the most watched Game 1 of an NBA Western Conference Finals series of all-time.

@ClayTravis Last night’s game was much better basketball start to finish (extremely high level basketball with an all-time performance by Wemby), but a 22-point 4th quarter comeback is pretty incredible.

Credit where credit is due, both NBA eastern and western conference game ones were outstanding. Madison Square Garden looked electric on that Knicks run and all the old school 1990’s era Knicks in crowd was cool to see.

@burackbobby_ In addition to the points in the article, I think it helps that he has a team of young dynamic players (Castle, Harper, etc.) and has mentors such as Duncan, Robinson, Ginobili surrounding him. More than anything else, he (like Ohtani) is something we’ve never seen before.

I haven’t watched an NBA game this year, but I think this Wembanyama guy is going to be pretty good at basketball one day.

@TheOGcolt @ClayTravis I haven't watched a game in years but I know the ratings suck compared to other sports. I looked it up.

@ClayTravis Very similar to Ohtani (something we’ve never seen before). Obviously not nearly as accomplished yet, but maybe more marketable -plays with a chip on his shoulder but seems to have a good personality, sense of humor, etc. Plays in small market but his games this year highly rated

@JamaalStreet @NBACobwebs Remember the game like it was yesterday. Hawks had a chance to tie with seconds remaining and instead of going to Wilkins or Rivers, they settled for a running left handed shot from (nothing against him) Cliff Levingston.

May 16, 1988: Dominique Wilkins dunks in transition during Atlanta's 118-109 win over the Celtics in Game 4 of the ECSF. Wilkins scored 40 PTS and Doc Rivers had 14 PTS/22 AST for the Hawks, who tied the series at 2-2. Boston's Larry Bird scored 30 PTS. h/t @JamaalStreet

@ClayTravis Different than someone like Tim Duncan who retired in the offseason with a simple press release from the Spurs, no press conference, etc. or Larry Bird who also did not want the spotlight with his retirement.

Zero % chance LeBron retires this offseason. He’s going to have a full year, maybe two years of goodbye “celebrations.”

@paulsen_smw If this game were on ABC, it obviously would have much higher ratings. With it being on Prime, do you think Game 7 CLE/DET or the PGA Championship will be more highly rated?

@burackbobby_ Totally agree. You never know if the home team is going to wear white or dark these days. The only things worse are some of the alternate uniforms in the NBA (and MLB) that aren’t even the team’s colors

I hate that the home teams in the NBA wear color now. When I used to watch, 2010 to 2019, the home team always wore white.

@ClayTravis Great start…..but it was their team in ‘21 that won 88 games that won the World Series while they had multiple powerhouse teams in the regular season in recent years that did not even make the NLCS.

The Braves presently have a 9.5 game lead in the NL East. The other five MLB division leaders combined have a 7.5 game lead.

@paulsen_smw I think the David Robinson Spurs of the early-to-mid 90’s did pretty well in the ratings if I am not mistaken.

@burackbobby_ Not that he had accomplished nearly as much yet, but he could be like Ohtani in MLB (something with their skill sets, etc. that we have never seen before).
