Great for the NFL, sucks for the NBA

Of course...it was never a competition.

no surprise there. I love the nba playoffs, but since they started best 4 of 7 in the 1st round, after an 82 game reg. season it makes it hard to get too excited about early 1st round games. Good example of why I don't want the nfl to expand its reg. season or the no. of playoff teams.

Exactly. You can close this thread now.

As much as Michael Jordan raised the NBA profile I think he also damaged it. Once people realized that the only teams that win championships are the ones with the once in a generation player surrounded by decent talent the interest started to wane. Parity in the NBA is horrible. NHL, MLB, and NFL all have a true anything can happen culture. The NBA, you're pretty safe guessing that someone named Kobe, Lebron, or Duncan is going to win the title.

Sorry, again.

they got less viewers cause the nba sucks, professional basketball is a terrible indiviual sport, it's fun to play but it is horrible to watch the nba on tv

If rounds 2 and 3 top the nba playoffs i'll be pleased

No real big surprise. I only wish we could see more football. I still think that if you put on nfl uniforms to the Arena League, they would have better ratings. I would love to watch the Redskins play. Even if i dont know who is playing on the team. I would learn and would root for them.
