So in other words, not only does the NBA beat out out MLB in the ratings, but so does the family half the NBA players fucked.
I don't know what else to say other than this is sad. The playoffs as a whole have been really good so far, the best they've been in years.
The NBA isn't going to beat anything in ratings with the lockout: they actually think people will care about it as much as the potential NFL one. So far they've lost the first two weeks of the season and still no one gives a shit.
If you think that was sad, on Monday it gets worse. Monday Night Football crushed everything, which is expected. But the Sportscenter after MNF, Kardashians, Monday Night Raw, pregame for MNF, a 1:15 am showing of NFL Primetime, something called "Chelsea Lately", and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills had higher ratings than Game 2. A 12:15 am showing of Robot Chicken tied Game 2.
