People like what they like.
I hear you, and it’s totally fine if that’s how you feel.
I never really understood those who share Shaq/Dante’s stance using that approach.
That’d be like me showing clips of the Patriots' offense and saying that NFL football is doghit.
No, the Patriots are dogshit (Sorry Old Balls).
There’s a difference.
You watch Josh Allen and the Bills and you feel like you’re watching an entirely different sport.
The same is true with good and bad basketball teams.
Sorry, let’s get back on track.
It’s 2024, the majority of people nowadays have found a way to illegally stream all sports.
That’s going to impact the numbers.
More people streaming thus lowering ratings numbers doesn’t mean a product is unwatchable.
It just means people are watching it in different ways that aren’t tracked.
All you have to do is look at what took place last night.
Up first, we had a regular season game between the Miami Heat and the Detroit Pistons.
It had a mix of 2s and 3s.
A back-and-forth slugfest with both sides throwing haymaker after haymaker.
That happens all the time.
Listen, as I said at the top of the blog, people like what they like.
But I do think it’s important to show the other side of the argument.
It doesn’t just have to be the Celtics, the Thunder, or the Cavs.
Being on either end of the extremes is misguided.
Like most things, the real answer is somewhere in the middle.
