NBA: No one is watching the 2015 NBA Conference Finals

[SPM]

Terrible matchups, boring storylines, injured teams... there's nothing to be interested about. The only good series entire playoff was clippers spurs

Rockets and Clippers had my attention...... but you're right, the first round will end up giving us the best series out of these whole playoffs. Pretty pathetic

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Speak for yourself. I'm still watching.

For the real basketball fans, the playoffs have already ended by the first round with Mavs and Spurs both eliminated, tbh.

The league also needs to stop showing games on Saturday night at 9pm. Wtf kind of stupid scheduling is that?

It doesn't even make sense looking at it from the Warriors perspective, because even if it was played in Oakland, starting the game at 7 ET (4 PT) wouldn't mean that much because it's not a typical work day for most Americans so there'd be no issues with fan attendance. Holding it at 8 PM in Houston is absurd when you don't have to.

The reason no one is watching because the compe ion is a joke for the Cavs and Warriors. No close games with any drama, Lebron/Cavs always getting the benefit of calls, etc, BORING!!! You'll gets know every time the Spurs play in the playoffs and finals they always provide the NBA with entertaining close games and series.

I wanna know what both of you guys are watching, the last two Rockets series have been all that, even if the Warriors took the first two games by slim margins.

Or at least for fans that live along the I-35 corridor.

FIFY

I thought the West playoffs were pretty entertaining despite the Spurs losing. The Clippers blowing a 3-1 lead was comedy and the Warriors-Grizz series was entertaining until Tony Allen got hurt.

How do you stream NBA games in 4K?

Every time I try streaming anything it looks like it's on a 56k internet connection. Maybe I'm missing something too.

Tbqh I'm shocked the rockets have made it this far... Mind boggling how the Clippers managed to drop the series... They're gonna get crushed by GS

Yeah, San Antonio's market is such a major loss.

That said, the Spurs are a bigger name than the Rockets despite being in a market at least 3 times smaller so .

"Market size" means nothing. OKC is one of the most popular teams despite being in Oklahoma City.

The media turned towards our side since 2013, so honestly, yes the Spurs would have gotten better ratings than the Rockets are against the Warriors. The Spurs are/were "America's team" based on popular polls of sporting outlets over the past 2 years.

Not to mention, in a Spurs/Warriors series, the games would be a lot closer. Not that we'd have beat the Warriors either, but based on how the Rox are doing here, I can't imagine it'd be anything like this series.

No matter what, the NBA would still rather have the Knicks, Lakers and Celtics than any of us.

I didn't even know NBA games were still being played.
