Ratings being down is a good sign. Let's hope the trend continues. |
My favorite year was 78-79 when good offensive teams were scoring 115-120 pts without the 3 pt shot. There was only one national game a week on cbs and kids were hoping it was going to be the spurs,nuggets or 76ers so we could see Gervin, Thompson or Erving.

Some people are thoroughly enjoying NBA games.
This forum goes silent whenever an NBA game is televised.
So no one can blame PaceAdvantage members for low pro basketball ratings.

Your predictions here can only mean that the Clippers will win it all.

Oh...yeah. The NBA is the reason that no one is posting on PA. Seriously? Where do people get these kinds of "facts".  Watch the games if you want. As of now, it's still a free country. Some of us have better things to do.

My post does not say that. It says that during games most posters stop posting .
Personally, I don't have interest in or watch any sport except for Horse Racing.

I missed it while I was out, what happened to him? Was it in-game? Didn't seem that way but I'm lost.

Sprained right knee in the fourth quarter of Game 4 against Utah. Hasn't played since then and did not travel to Phoenix for Game 1.
ESPN
LA Clippers' Kawhi Leonard ruled out for Game 1; status for remainder of series vs. Suns uncertain:

By the way... Welcome back!

As I quoted you in my post I am pretty sure that most people knew my reply implied " during games". And my comment still stands. There is no evidence to support your premise.

What absolutely brutal officiating against the Suns tonight. No surprise since Scott Foster got the call, but my gosh, they don't even try to hide it.
