Television ratings for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals continued a trend downward for the NBA this season, with the Miami Heat's win over the Boston Celtics averaging just 3.48 million viewers.

As noted by Jon Lewis of Sports Media Watch, that was a 21 percent drop from last season's East finals Game 2 between the Toronto Raptors and Milwaukee Bucks -- and the least-watched East finals Game 2 since 2003.

"This continues a troubling trend for NBA playoff viewership, and the sports-starved audience that the league believed would be there when they returned from the pandemic has not materialized," Glasspiegel opined.

It's not the NBA anymore, it's the BLM League. Not a great business plan, but I guess they thought it was.

Plus, it's the same old stuff, favored teams and corrupt officiating, so gosh, why can't we attract a big audience??? We've done every damn thing we can for LA, so come on people, tune in!

How do you sink to a 17byear low with a captive audience imprisoned in their homes and looking for entertainment?

‘I meant to watch but that paint was drying.”

Sounds great. Did you happen to record that? I would love to see the highlights as opposed to the highlights of the game.

The idiots sport leagues forgot who their ultimate customer is. The fan by way of advertising revenue.

The leagues need to entertain, be an escape, not lecture their fans.

Fake fans + fake crowd noise + social browbeating/lecturing by athletes = no thanks

The Russian players are more loyal to the US than the Canadian players.
