the playoffs were down 30% last year and the commisioner said it was because all the stars were on the west coast and the playoffs started at 10pm EST. Basically admitting the East sucked.
He sat at halfcourt and announce for 2020 they would start West coast big games at 5pm west time so they would air at 8pm EST. Whn asked about all the season paying fans who would have to take 1.2 days or miss games he stated…
we play for tv revenue. the fans that come see game do not drive revenue.
Adam Silver is a fucking human turd.
this year if they re saying 30% it is prolly 60% down.
