It could also get tricky if the Bucks and Suns make the finals because Middleton, Holiday, Lopez, and Booker have all agreed to play but game 7 of the finals would be July 22 and the Olympics start on July 23.

Supersuavesky Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I'm not sure what the Hornets can do to get a solid big. Probably just have to roll with what they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man it's almost like, and hear me out. Atlanta is a... big market? And the Bucks... have a fanbase? Caring about ratings is dumb anyway but the stupid narrative surrounding it is always funny to see easily disproven when the fact is that the NBA has never been more full of talent or more entertaining to watch and most people agree with that lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Molly Qerim chick called them "terrible cities" for all four teams remaining. Like...wait...LA is amazing when the Lakers make it but "terrible" when it's the Clippers? I'm so glad I don't watch that network outside of actual games. Like tonight, as soon as that game went final I switched to MLB Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Like 6 million people do happen to live in Wisconsin and the Nets don't have much of a fanbase themselves, but it was a game 7, they do have KD, and it is NYC. The idea that ratings are good literally no matter who's playing is not that insane. 6 million people live in the Atlanta metro alone lol, like come on, that's not a "small market" that's a gigantic market. "Oh the NFL draft did a 6.1" yeah that's a once a year event on primetime on a Thursday, the NBA did this at 7 and 10PM on a Sunday. The game is healthier than ever, good to see after the insane doom and gloom from last year's ratings lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCollum is such a ridiculously bad defender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they always fail to mention that the NBA has a much younger demographic (streaming, etc.) when they bring up viewership numbers. Not to mention they have the best social media presence in sports, probably. I think the NBA has never been more popular and they're always out in front on ways to grow the game and its' popularity. Polar opposite of how the MLB approaches growing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon Ducks Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Simmons is still a potential ALL NBA dude. His defense and playmaking ability are valued. McCollum is a glorified Jamal Crawford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCollum is a glorified Jamal Crawford Dude just averaged 23/5/4 on 46/40/81 shooting splits, chill with the glorified Jamal Crawford comparison lol. You guys are underrating McCollum now. It doesn't work when he is in the backcourt with another guy who isn't a good defender but you can mask his deficiencies on that end with the personnel Philly has. You guys also don't take into consideration the type of situation Simmons puts Harris is. This man is relied upon to generate all the non-Embiid offense since Simmons becomes such a non-factor in the 4th quarters. While McCollum may not be great, he can get others shots as well as get himself a bucket. You need that in the playoffs. Simmons could be the better and more impactful regular season player but he's just not it in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) why does jimmy get a pass on not being able to shoot? dude made 25 3pters this year at 24%. this is a dude who went 38%, 37%, 35%, 35% in 4 out of 5 years on decent volume and now he can't shoot at all? he was a career 34% 3pt shooter before going to miami and he puts on back to back 24% szns Edited June 23, 2021 by 11sanchez11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
