As long as ratings are still high, nothing will change.

Who are they up against? They're on the air alone. Ratings aren't valid when you have no one in an opposing time slot.

Doesn't mean we have to watch.

NBA is looking to other streaming networks and services, as a deal with TNT and ESPN may not be re-negotiated. Any new broadcasts would hopefully move on from these dinosaurs.

Am I crazy or should the Kings be a lot better than they are?

Bad defense.

As good as Domas is, he's not a rim protector.

Kings need to get players who play defense.

They were missing Monk and Huerter which unironically hurts the more than the Pels missing Zion because of how thin their depth is. With enough depth to replace Monk and Huerter (which I can't imagine is very difficult to do), maybe they don't go on a 3-7 skid to end the season and avoid the play-in.
They needed to take the last offseason and reinforce but they signed some no-name Euro instead. Just a small market moment.

Hyping the Heat vs. Celtics series will end up failing to live up to expectations because it's not going to be close.

Niang should run away with the "Doesn't Look the Part of an NBA Player" Award. Maybe he's ripped under those Cavs whites? Hard to say.

Magic really have less than 60 points after 3 Qs. 5/27 from 3. Oof, that's just rough.

Refs aren't calling much of anything in these games so far. C's gotta be ready for a physical game with minimal whistles.
