The NBA is still a joke
 

I am watching the Discovery channel and they are advertising that The Deadliest Catch did better than the NBA playoffs LMAO if a major sport cannot get better ratings for their playoffs than a reality show they suck at life~

Deadliest Catch owns Cable/Dish TV.

The NBA is headed for a Lockout of their own.

Good thread.

Head to head with a NFL playoff game which one gets better ratings? BTW I enjoy the Deadliest Catch show~

I'd rather watch Survivor than the NBA. They have obstacle courses.

Thanks SportsRacer! your approval is very important to me~

That's not what I was getting at. It baffles me why Deadliest Catch is so popular.

Besides, NFL is National TV, not that I think that matters anymore. I watch National TV probably .0001% of the time offseason.

I have watched it and enjoyed it. The plot wears thin quickly and the year the captain of one of the ships died is the only time I watched regular~

Couple of things:

1. It's the first round. Even the most diehard NBA fans don't give a shit about Game 3 of Bulls/Pacers or even a premiere matchup like Thunder/Nuggets.

2. Like I said, there are at least four games per series. If each game was life or death like the NFL, I guarantee you'd see a different set of ratings. Not suggesting the NBA should go to that model, I'm just saying it would be a different story in terms of ratings. If a game 7 from this first round shows up alongside a popular cable show like Deadliest Catch, let's see how the ratings fare.

3. Comparing ANY non-football sport to the NFL is dumb. How did the MLB playoffs go? They probably sucked more than the NBA. I know Game 7 of the NHL finals got beat out by Build A Better Burger on Food Network years ago. Yet I don't ever see threads like "Har har... baseball and hockey suck. Football rulez!"

4. The "College basketball is real basketball crowd" (whoever/wherever you guys are) can suck on my penis. Not directed at you, RedNeckRaider. I'm just saying that.

They still play pro baseball??? wow...does it still suck?

I've never been that big of a fan of it. I do know that the Royals still do, in fact, suck. In spite of their surprisingly not putrid record.

As far as baseball and basketball I don't watch them at any level less going to a couple of semi pro Kinston Indian games last year~

and the Thunder rolls...
