Lost interest? lol. What's your basis? People have limited access to some lives games therefore it's given that sales aren't that impressive.

Creating a bubble is a success. That's why they are now in the Finals.

Ratings? LOLWUT? What are you even saying? People lost interest, ratings dropped. Do you even read?
What's your basis then? You can't even tell anything. LOL.

I'd say Lakers in 5. LeBron will be the MVP.

You are even kind to give the Heat at least 1 game, Grin

... Yes, the ratings has dropped, the opening or game one should be fun but it didn't go as expected, not due to the fact that Lakers has dominated but because of the injury, if we saw the game 1, Heat had a good rally in the 4th quarter, so if only Bam and Dragic was not injured, things could be different and even if Heat loses, they would not lose a double digit.

I think you have missed a correct quote...

How? I said people lost interest due to pandemic and ratings went down, he said what's my basis without even properly reading my post and quoted post. I wrote down exactly what the reason is and he asked again.
I don't understand your logic. I think you used wrong quote. That couldn't be a reply to my post.

Game 1 of NBA Finals sees lowest viewership in recorded ratings History

This is not unexpected honestly. People lost interest due to pandemic, it happened in all sports, even more than sports, all activities. I thought they could cancel the league at all but they decided to build a bubble. I think this year the champion will get an asterisk to their name, as this is not a normal season.

Game 1 is boring? Should we blame the Miami Heat, of course not the NBA? They are just people, they can't control the injury. That was unexpected.

I think he just misused some words,...

People didnt really consider nor think that everything could happen including injuries.We cant deny that there are games in playoffs are much thrilling than on the current game 1 that we have seen.

Its understandable that it might not be the same when we are in a normal situation but at least the organization do find ways to resume it out in spite of the condition we are on.
Its not a bubble yet everything is indeed a success.It might be on a different vibe but its better than have nothing at all.

Game 1 is indeed a little bit boring and anticipating that Game 2 would be just the same.

“We’re still expecting to win. We still know that we can,” - Jimmy Butler

It's just Game 1 but he used the word "still". This means he understands how worst the situation they are facing right now.

I like that.
The key is this guy actually. Meyers Leonard.
They have not been using this guy for a long period of time, I think Spoelstra forgot about him.
Davis and Howard had been dominating the paint but this guy still have the strength to defend against those names.
I think they got used of playing small against the Celtics.
There's a chance. Rotate the players. Use Nunn, Jones Jr. and Olynyk.
Not as garbage time players but more of a second team. Give them more minutes to gain confidence.

Just to add.

I agree though that the Game 1 was a boring and I didn't see any competition throughout the game. Hope this will not the same scenario in Game 2.

- Lakers managed to make a rally
- Heat key players got injured

As much as I don't want that "boring game" happen again in Game 2, it's hard to expect that. Of course, we want a close game since its FINALS but a single day resting period is not enough for those key players of the Miami Heat to get back in shape at 100%.

What to expect? Adjustments of Miami Heat's supporting cast. If they can manage to give the Lakers a hard time or much better if they were able to win it, then at least, their key players have enough time to recover.

Remember how coach Kerr become successful sharing he's talent with players who have the same types of his game, I'm interested how he'll be able to coach Kyrie and KD both are offensive but if Nash able to turned both stars to pass out and rotates the ball, that's really an interesting factors.

Yeah, that's a good explanation about it. Comparison with Steve Kerr.
Better, Steve Nash is a 2-time Season MVP. So he might really pull that off.
I am not against it, I am just hearing a lot of analysts making it as a big issue.

Quote from: Sanitough on October 02, 2020, 07:46:24 AM

NBA will surely do something here, game 1 was a boring game but in game 2, I expect it a close game to give the fans some thrill they didn't see in game 1.

Could the thrill be coming from letting the Heat win even with all the injury reports? Wink

I will bet on the Heat then.

"Doc Rivers has been named the Sixers next head coach."
https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/1311783160330371072

Wow that was fast, just a few days after he was fired from LA Clippers, he gets to sign a 5-year deal with 76ers.
I thought Philly were high on Mike D'Antoni and actually very close to to signing with him.
Interesting to see what Doc can do with Simmons, Embiid and the rest of the roster that they have now, T.Harris played very well under Rivers while he was with the Clippers.

How do you like the move from the Sixers?

MDA wasn't really a proper coach for sixers anyway, haven't you see him at rockets for the past year? Dude literally built a roster with 6'6 center at the court, he is the epitome of run and gun and advanced analytics basketball, he was like that almost 2 decades ago and he is like that today. What do sixers have? Embiid and simmons, two players who are tall and mainly plays inside, embiid maybe can shoot but he doesn't shoot all that much high volume neither, so sixers wasn't really perfect fit for him.

I am not sure where he will go, but maybe giving a small break for a while could help him as well, he did that before and found the perfect position for him and came back, if not just go to wherever takes him and don't focus on success but just the next opportunity to get a good job while coaching a bad team.

That's expected, well, if the NBA is rigged, they can manipulate the series to make it look exciting despite the fact Lakers in reality can dominate the Heat here. If something will happen that we don't know then we must bet on it, what about Heat to win straight up in game 2, is that a good idea?

Game 1 of NBA Finals sees lowest viewership in recorded ratings History

Quote

A trend of low ratings throughout the NBA postseason has now reached the NBA Finals. And hit it hard.

Game 1 of the Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat brought in only 7.41 million viewers to ABC, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That is reportedly the lowest viewership seen for the Finals since at least 1994, when total viewers began to be regularly recorded.

The number is down 45 percent from last year’s Game 1 between the Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors, which had 13.51 million viewers. This is the fourth straight year Game 1 viewership has gone down compared to the previous season.

The previous low for the Finals was reportedly 8.06 million in Game 3 of the 2007 NBA Finals. That was the third game of a sweep by the San Antonio Spurs of the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James’ first Finals appearance.

NBA will surely do something here, game 1 was a boring game but in game 2, I expect it a close game to give the fans some thrill they didn't see in game 1.

Can we really say that the NBA is rigged as of this moment that is why the viewership of it got lowered?

I think one reason of this is that many are already expecting that the Lakers will win the championship so there is no reason for them to watch. Its like what happened in our league here in our country. Every year, the team who got the championship is the same and the competition is gone already that is why people aren't watching anymore.

Anyway, I expect for this series to either a sweep or will end in 5 games. I agree though that the Game 1 was a boring and I didn't see any competition throughout the game. Hope this will not the same scenario in Game 2.

What I was saying is only the game 1, and we all saw what happen, it wasn't as exciting as the Celtics/Heat series and Lakers/Denver series, it's like a group of big boys playing the little boys, we don't want to see that in game 2, so if NBA is rigged, refs will do the action here, expect some bad calls and miss calls.

No disrespect to Steve Nash, but there are still good black coaches on the line and yet they hire those without experience.

Coz why not? I don't see anything wrong of picking Steve Nash. And on the other note, even though he got no experience with coaching that's okay because he's already considered a veteran in playing. That could be his edge in his new career. Thus, I do believe that the management did a wise choice on picking him. He will be a good coach because he doesn't only understand the technicalities of the game but also all the drama inside the hard court since it takes part of his life for quite a long time

.

I see that point too! Even he's a rookie in terms of this new field but he's in hand experienced playing the game gave him the capabilities to understand how he can contribute to the team that he's going to handle.
Remember how coach Kerr become successful sharing he's talent with players who have the same types of his game, I'm interested how he'll be able to coach Kyrie and KD both are offensive but if Nash able to turned both stars to pass out and rotates the ball, that's really an interesting factors.

Of course, Lebron wants to be perfect so his teammates will have the discipline the play or execute the play at the right way. They are already in the lead, we can't tell how many games this series will last, but for sure Lakers will do everything and will give everything in order to win.

I don't know but Miami Heat seemed to be overwhelmed at that game.

It is just the first game of the series and it seems that Miami Heat seemed to be overwhelmed on how the LA Lakers performed. Does this show how great Lakers is? I want to see the Miami Heat that dominated the best team in the regular season, I want to see the Miami that took down Boston Celtics, I see that they playing well but it seems it might end at game 5.

Miami heat has to win one game and there will be a thrill in this series. Right now, all eyes are on the Lakers and fans are thinking that Lakers are too much for them as they got dominated in game 1, they have to answer in game 2 so they'll gain that respect.

I do even see that they would really be sweep out basing on the result of game 1.This isnt right to talk about "seemed overwhelmed" yet they do really get overwhelmed on that game.

They have a good lead on early quarter but they cant sustain to make it on the end.Lakers center players are just too tanky and Heat cant really handle it out even when there's a

clutch drive on the basket.They cant handle Lebron and can easily penetrate or even AD.They need to have some comeback in second game at least but we do know the current condition
about those injured players will be likely not to join on the next game.

Bench players should really do their best on game 2 if ever the main ones cant able to play.
