Correct. Fuck the Lakers. And definitely fuck the Celtics and punk pussy Beeiii. You don't wanna watch, fuck outta here then.If that is the matchup and it doesn’t do numbers, that’s the NBA’s and it’s media fault. The Nuggets and Heat are playing the best basketball in the playoffs right now. Not those other two teams.
But that’s where the narrative that Malone is talking about would come back to bite the NBA. Cuz you consistently talk about the losing teams and what they’re not doing and make it seem like the winners shouldn’t actually be winning. So the casual fan base who make up the majority of NBA fans begin to think that the Nuggets and Heat are not actually good and therefore wouldn’t make a good Finals matchup. The NBA isn’t marketing the shit correctly imo.
Think about it though..the NFL wraps up with the SB and then a few weeks later is the all star break and then thats when people start paying attention. Yeah we watch games at Christmas time and watch games that feature spectacular rookies, but for the most part, people really dont start paying attention until after the break, especially with Load management.
The NBA is also going to run into a problem that MLB is facing, who's going to be the next star to transcend the sport like Lebron..you have stars, but you dont have that main guy that EVERYONE knows..Curry and Bron both are getting older..Giannis is not that dude. For a few decades, we had Magic, Bird, MJ took it to another level, then you had Kobe overlap with Jordan, and then Lebron overlap with Kobe, and Curry and Durant, but these guys are getting older...who's next? Jokic? Tatum? Wemby?
Offensive players are currently shooting 18 for 64 from the field in the 4th quarter when defended by Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo in this playoff run
You definitely did. I’m buggin’I typed the "Heat" three times in my post.
I stated Lebron because he's a Laker and your type of fans has mentioned tired of seeing the same teams. People like Lebron and want to see him.
Steph, Ja, and a few others are draws because they're exciting and people like to see them play.
I don't know what the casual fan wants?
Strangely Tatum was all world less than a week ago!
Had a bad game in game 6 but lit it up similar to Murray and murked the Sixers in game 7. Have two bad 4th quarters and now he hasn't grown, hasn't advanced and turned into some shit.
How quickly things change!
Regarding De'Aron Fox, he's been balling for the past 4-5 years. Nobody sees it or gives a shit when you're losing though. That's just what it is, plays he's in Sacramento a team that hadn't made the playoffs for damn near two decades.
Yes the NBA can do better to market more players and teams, and the sports talking head can do better to talk about more teams than the Lakers and Golden State etc.
I just don't see it as a huge conspiracy or preplanned to go against other teams and players as as others do.
Disciples doing their thing
Disagree because this season more than any all the teams were pretty much evenNo match-up in NBA history would undermine the importance of the regular season more than Heat/Lakers.
Even with the Giannis injury asterisk, the success of this 8th-seeded team that was nearly eliminated in the play-in is perplexing.
20 shots. 10 threes...Disciples doing their thing
Did he score again in the 4th?20 shots. 10 threes...![]()
Just 2 free throws..Did he score again in the 4th?
Tatum is horrible off the dribble.

@ Welvin jump shot.
Tatum takes 1st shot 2 minutes left. 2nd shot is a post fade away over a guy half foot shorter.
Nigga weak as shaddy on the bench press.
Sadly, prime PG13 was better than this guy.
If i see this bitch made lightskin nigga take another idiotic fade away over a 6'5 nigga in the post instead of taking it to the cup imma shoot my fucking TV!!

Ho ass move by Tatum.

The calculations are based on MAGAnetism
That was espn's analytics expertsAt this point I think ESPN is just trolling with these numbers...like who was it that posted that there was a 3% chance for the Heat to beat the Celtics before the series started...like come on man![]()
Had a .8% chance to make it to the finals last yearAt this point I think ESPN is just trolling with these numbers...like who was it that posted that there was a 3% chance for the Heat to beat the Celtics before the series started...like come on man![]()
