On April 24, with the Nets losing home to the Celtics, the suspense of this round of the series gradually disappeared, the Nets fell behind 0-3, no team in history has ever flipped in the case of 0-3 behind, 1-3 can be turned over because the backward team has won the game before, but 0-3 behind means that the Nets are inferior to the Celtics in all aspects. It is also true that the 711 combination Durant and Irving are more famous than the double probe, but the role on the field and the key moments played, it is clear that Tatum and Jaylen Brown beat the 711 combination.
With the Nets trailing 3-0 and nearing exit, the NBA league is going to lose a lot, as the three ratings ace teams are likely to lose two. The three teams are the Lakers with James, Thick Brow and Westbrook, the Nets of Durant and Irving, and the Warriors of Curry and Klay. At present, the Lakers are out, the Nets are hanging by a thread, and only the Warriors have great hopes of promotion.
Among them, the Lakers' thick eyebrow brothers, James, Westbrook, Howard, Anthony, etc. are all NBA historical superstars, they have a huge market and countless fans, the Lakers have no chance of playoffs, not only for fans and sponsors is a huge loss, for the league, so many superstars miss the playoffs, will make the playoffs attention decline, the impact is very large.
The Nets are 3-0 behind, the playoffs are close to out, unless there is the first miracle in history, or Nash, Durant, Griffin, Irving, Ade, Curry Jr., Mills and Drummond, who are famous and once powerful superstars, will be eliminated, a round trip in the playoffs. The Nets have a great impact on the league's ratings, which can be seen from the highest ratings of the Nets vs Celtics G1, where nearly 10 million people have watched the game, and the star-studded Nets are hanging in the balance.
Only the Warriors' results were good, they had a huge advantage against the Nuggets, and the promotion suspense has basically disappeared. The power of the combination of The Big Three of Green, Curry and Clay at the same time is reminiscent of the Warriors before 2019. Add players like Super god Poole, All-Star Wiggins, Porter, Payton and Bjelica. And the Warriors themselves are one of the facades of the league's ratings, so in this case, the ratings of the NBA playoffs will rely on the Warriors to support.
Even if the Bucks have alphabet brothers, the Heat have Butler, the Bulls have DeRozan, the Lone Rangers have Doncic and the Suns have Paul and Booker, these teams, whether it is influence, heritage or popularity, and most importantly, ratings, are obviously inferior to the nets, Lakers and Warriors, the three superstar teams.
Therefore, when the Lakers are out + nets life hanging in the balance, almost only the Warriors, a rating ace team, is not a good thing for the league, because with the deepening of the playoffs, everyone prefers to see the peak showdown between superstars, but now that James is out, Durant and Irving are close to being eliminated.
