Ryen Russillo's podcast had a long discussion this week about the steep decline in ratings this season (>20% drop). Lots of theories as to why it has dropped so much in comparison to football (streaming, illegal streaming, player movement, "load management", unlikeable players, LeBron on the West Coast, Golden State being down, etc.)

I had no idea. Because of the Mavs' resurgence, this is the most regular season NBA I've watched in years.
I think i read somewhere that regionally viewership is up in alot of places, it's just the national games that are down.

I don't remember a Mavs team that could just separate out of nowhere in a game like this.

Lol This Mavs team...when the pieces are clicking and Luka is on, they are horrifying. Most fun team in the NBA and a legit west contender.

Luka's marketing appeal had to go up even higher after everyone was able to see him speak fluent Spanish to the crowd before the game.

Oh for sure. The crowd's reaction to him was awesome. Also cracked me up seeing Blake Griffin get the mic after him and just go "Hola Mexico" without saying anything else.

lol he didn't stop there. He went on to say essentially the same thing that Luka did but in English.

Nash/vanexell could go off in a heartbeat.

Luka appears much more comfortable and articulate in Spanish than English (with good reason since he lived in Spain from ages 13-18). His English has improved quite a bit since last year, though.

KP is damn near a native English speaker at this point. Pretty impressive since he hasn't been here that long and they don't really speak English in Latvia.

The way Miami is shooting I think they would've blown us out anyway but dang Luka being hurt is a buzzkill. Time for KP to be an alpha.

Barea is perfect to have around for games that just aren't going well. When he's on, he brings a palpable spark.

Incredible effort. That is the heart of an exceptional team! Buckle up for the next few games without Luke, because they are going to be fights

Luka is amazing but this team has some fight. Still think we can weather this storm. We got the best coach in the league with a roster full of hungry guys. LETS GO.

I'm sick of the refs always giving this team the short end of the stick at the end of big games that are close.

What's up with that *****

Doncic was fouled against Sacramento

Brunson was fouled tonight

I've never seen the call that benefitted Portland.

The refs totally give that game to LA lakers too.

4 losses where the refs are a big storyline or part of it.

I hope Luka has the same ankle healing powers that Dirk had! Dirk would have that kind of ankle sprain and return three days later!

Does anyone else feel like it takes Giannis an hour to shoot free throws?

Y'all notice THJ and Brunson kinda using Luka's technique of almost boxing out one of the defenders when he's dribbling in the paint?

They aren't as successful but it looks like some of his game is rubbing off on them.

You can't be mad a shot that goes in, let alone two.

I've loved watching this team without Luka against Miami in the second half and against the Bucks tonight.

It drives home the fact that they have so many guys that can just flat out play. They might not be superstars, but they are smart, can shoot, and are fundamentally sound.

I think that move is called a hostage dribble. You get the defender in a position where he his helpless and you hold him hostage with the dribble...

Great call! Barea has been doing that for years!
