I want to say goodbye to my best friend. My Father died last night. No tears but would appreciate prayers. His name was Michael. He’s a Marine and was a good man, Excellent Grandfather and most importantly my Dad. He has been through hell since June including losing both legs and having 4 other surgeries. He kept fighting. Thanks to all of you for being the parts of my day to put the serious stuff aside. It helps more than you know.

So very sorry. He sounds like a great man. Prayers for all who loved him and it sounds like it was many.

PSA!
This dog has been running loose in my neighborhood for about a month now. Very beautiful pup. I live down in Ellijay GA. Please, any of you come get it. It'll die sooner or later from the traffic or from the pits that run around. I can't take it in or I would. I've been feeding it to keep it close. View attachment 177447

I live in Ellijay. Take him to Gilmer County Animal Shelter. Daniel is great and will find him a home.

“NBA viewership train keeps rolling. Through conference semifinals, league is up 2% across all national TV partners. Conference semifinals viewership (ABC+TNT+ESPN) was best for that round since 2013. NBA playoff games have now been top primetime telecast on TV on 21 of 26 nights”
Maybe if you are talking about regular season.

Ratings are down right now big time. that affects future contracts. The NBA hasnt been a good product year round for a few years now. I used to love the NBA. Cant watch it anymore.

The nba isn’t down. The Finals ratings are through the roof.

I guess that’s a subjective statement

I feel your pain and understand. Sometimes it’s OK to just let go and move on; it was for my dad, too. You’ll miss him, just the same. Sounds like your dad was a special man. Hugs and prayers for you and yours.

Don’t be a headline gazer. If you read in the actual article.....

“It snapped a streak of three straight years in which the NBA Finals delivered its largest audience since 1998.”

It was the 4th time in a row the teams played. And the WCF was the defacto finals.

Also, go look at the ratings for the warriors and rockets series. Game 7: The most watched NBA game all season and the second most watched pro-basketball game in cable history, last night’s GSW WCF winner peaked with 18 million sets of eyeballs on the ball right near the end during the 11 – 11:15 PM ET slot.

From a former Navy guy that spent a lot of time with Marines, OOOOOHHHH RAHHHH. RIP Marine Warrior.

The only reason I watch is because I live in Memphis and want the Grizzlies to do well. I am an avid sports fan, grew up watching it (and Jordan), and I don’t care one bit to watch it anymore outside of the Grizzlies. As frustrating as it is to watch the college officiating, the NBA is even worse. It’s not true basketball.

Sorry for you loss. He’s guarding the gates now with his fellow Marines. Oorah!

Not to derail this thread but viewship for ALL major sports is down. Not just NBA

In your opinion.. I enjoy it..

I didn’t want to say you were wrong about finals ratings (or are we talking about conference finals? Or viewers like the sentence you cherry picked?) being through the roof, but you are. Interesting to look at the ratings for when Jordan and Lebron played, though.
Anyway, enough about a topic no one cares about on a day we have Tennessee football. Go Vols!
