LOL: Game 1 of 2020 NBA Finals Loses Half of 2019's First-Game Viewership

Learn to code, subliterates.

Also: The very dumb reality/celebrity game show "The Masked Singer" beat the NBA Finals in the key demo of 18-49.

This is Yahoo, so be prepared to have this ratings collapse blamed on everything except hardcore leftist political agitation:

The NBA Finals tipped off a few months late in 2020, and boy do the earliest TV ratings reflect the affects of coronavirus.

Really? Miami and LA residents are still locked in their houses with bars and restaurants and live shows closed down, but a 50% loss of ratings is to be expected #BecauseCoronavirus?

Get fucked, dummy dum-dum.

Game 1 of the 2020 NBA Finals settled for a 2.1 rating among adults 18-49 and 5.3 million total viewers. Now, those averages will rise significantly when final Nielsen data becomes available, but they are currently about half of what last year' comparable preliminary data estimated for ABC. Mind you, that’s WITH the return of LeBron James to the Finals....

Also Read: 'The Masked Singer' Has First-Ever Self Elimination and Unmasking: And the Gremlin Is... (Video) ABC finished first in the key adults 18-49 demographic last night in primetime.

Hey "King" Lebron, can I f#ck your momma like your teammate did?

I promise I'll take her out for a nice classy meal at Arby's (TM) before I "do" her.

Via Sports Wars, merrily documenting the apocalypse of spectator sports.

Schrodinger's Baby. It's a baby when the mother wants it, and only then. But it's a clump of cells if the mother doesn't want it.

If the mother doesn't know yet, the organism in her womb is simultaneously a baby and a clump of cells until the mother makes up her mind.

Yeah but advertisers know how those books are cooked so while us rubes may be fooled the people funding this aren't. They are willing to waste money being woke as long as they think they get credit, but they aren't going to waste money so that the NBA can get the credit for being woke.

He ain't lyin'.

This is why it's important for people to understand, when the great realignment comes, if you find yourself on the side of corporate America, and against consumers/citizens, you're on the wrong side.

Corporations do NOT deserve loyalty from customers. Ever. It's a business relationship, it's not a friendship. The company offers a product (including investment opportunities), you buy it or you don't. If you don't like it, you move on. If the company wants someone else's money, they move on. That's all.

At least half of nevertrump is made of people who equate "free market capitalism" with a religion.

Shaq was like Baby Huey; a complete behemoth who overpowered everyone. I remember when he was in the Finals, once against Hakeem Olajuwon and then Dikembe Mutombo and I thought "these guys are big, maybe they'll match up well". They looked like twigs against him.

Once Shaq opened up Jerry Stackhouse's dome, completely inadvertently and by accident. Stackhouse was pissed though and later on in the game tried unloading on him on a fast break. He just bounced off like a gnat. And got kicked out of the game.

I'm not saying it because of my white privilege but Larry Bird is the greatest basketball player ever. He took a podunk undefeated Indiana State to the NCAA championship basically by himself. He took Boston to the Eastern conference championship as a rookie when they were in last place the year before. Of course he subsequently lead Boston to multiple championships . If you ever get a chance watch the show 59 greatest highlights of Larry Bird. There will never be another like him.

284 Every sport seems to have a golden age, when the game is at its absolute peak, and for basket ball its the 80s. For football it seems the 70s, and for baseball it was a longer run from around 1930-1975. There have been golden seasons that rise above and return to the roots of the sport, but they all seem to go downhill after that finest hour.

327 In the 1986 Finals, the Celtics were playing Houston. Comfortable lead in game 2. Then Bill Walton checked in. Houston rookie phenom Olajuwon went on a tear, lead tightened. Celtics had the ball, Walton got it at the foul line, started waving it around in one hand, looking for someone to pass to. Olajuwon poked the ball away, stole it, and streaked down for a dunk. Bird, on his own initiative, called time out. In the huddle coach KC Jones said, "well Larry, I'd your time out, what are we doing here?" Bird pointed at Walton "Sit him the fuck down, KC" Jones turned, "Bill, sit the fuck down."

441 Rockets coach in 1986 was Bill Fitch. In a nice twist, Fitch coached the Celtics and Bird in 1981 when they won th championship, beating Houston.

No team in the history of basketball could beat the 1986 Celtics in a 7 game series.

Hockey: leg broken by slap shot, finish shift anyway.




It has got disappeared, but there was a Euro-weenie kickball video once where a ref was spray-painting the ground in a "game" and sprayed some on a player's foot. He grabs his foot in mock agonizing pain and falls down writhing in one of the greatest fake flops ever recorded.

It's snorfle-worthy, or at least was.

Did you ever read the Dennis L McKiernan stuff? Essentially a world exactly like Tolkiens that he did because he could not get permission from the Tolkien estate to work in that world. Some good stuff in there. Some shit there too. The Silver Call duology (which was the Dwarves reconquering Moria.) The Dragonmount, which was a love story between a Dwarf and a Rohan/Viking shield maiden. Eye of the Hunter, which is an odd quasi Dracula/horror story.

I saw that. The famous 'Youngstown tune up". Otherwise known as a car bomb. Growing up around it, I just didn't pay much attention to it but yea, it was a thing. My hometown (New Castle) had a small FBI office next to the post office. It was there specifically to investigate the mob.

469 Can't say why without betraying a confidence, but I just had a BIG restoration of faith moment in AG Barr and Durham.
Posted by: vmom 2020
----------
The problem is that without giving some indication that there is actual justice, then there will be some voters who stay home.

It is depressing to know for 5 years now that actual crimes were committed, only to see not a single person (other than the one plea bargain) be punished for their crimes.

We live in a time where most of us watch criminals looting and burning, without being arrested, while someone like Rittenhouse sits in jail, no end in sight.

So if they want to restore faith, they have about 30 days left before it doesn't matter anymore.

And they better hope to God that Trump wins anyway, because if he doesn't they will be made to pay by the incoming administration. If Barr thinks they won't arrest him, he is deluded.

471 Hockey should only be watched in person. Otherwise you really haven't idea what the game is about if all you can follow is the puck. Soccer should only be watched if your 8 year old is playing and you are thee to make sure he/she remembers which net is theirs. Baseball can be listened to on the radio if you ar3 forced to be in your car and thee is nothing better to listen to because it's the weekend.
Football is the only sport which can legitimately be watched on TV and in fact it is better on TV because you don't have to wait in line to go to the bathroom.
Golf is just ridiculous. Just wait til it's over and see who won.

475 Breonna Taylor was victimized by her own decision-making abilities.
______________

Aside from being involved with and assisting the ex (the drug dealing boyfriend), I also don't get why she was standing next to her current boyfriend on the night the cops shot her.

She had no weapon, BF had a gun. Even if we accept the BF's story that the cops didn't yell "police" and that BF and Breonna thought the cops were home invaders, why stand next to the BF as the door is being kicked in? Why not get behind the BF, or hide in one of the other rooms?

Why was she standing in the hallway facing the front door, right next to the armed BF who was in the shooting position, with his arms out in front of him? She had to know that, whoever it was breaking down the door (cops or home invaders or rival drug gang), they were going to start shooting -- either as soon as they entered, or as soon as her BF started shooting at them. So why the hell didn't she get out of the way?

484 If you're old enough like me, you remember watching the NBA Finals in the late 1970s before Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.

On CBS. Late-night across from Carson. On tape-delay. With some of the 'boring' parts of the game cut out. That was the best the NBA could do given the ratings they typically drew.

Then Magic and Larry came along, and then Michael, and kaboom, the NBA turned into ratings gold. Their franchises became money machines. Everyone did well. The leading players had charisma, talent, and presence, and that spread around the league. That led to other players who played supporting roles in the ratings bonanza, even if they couldn't carry the league on their own (Hakeem, Charles Barkley, Rodman, etc).

Doesn't anyone in the NBA remember the 70s? If their ratings continue to crater it won't be long before even ESPN says, "nah bro, you're on ESPN7 tape delay at 3 am, best we can do."
