Quote: | With ratings already down, NBA moving some Warriors games off national broadcasts
Warriors games right now are not exactly must-see TV. With nearly every player you can name (and all the big draws of casual fans) gone or out injured, it’s not a surprise, but the Warriors are one of the league’s worst teams and hard to watch right now.
Also, nationally NBA ratings are down to start the season. A lot.

Combine those two factors and you get a notice from the league that they have moved the next two nationally televised Warriors games — Dec. 13th at Utah and Dec. 18th at Portland — off ESPN. (They will be replaced by the Clippers at Timberwolves on the 13th, and the Celtics at Mavericks on the 18th.)
Expect more of this.
The Warriors were slotted for 30 nationally televised games this season — as many as the Lakers, because we all hoping for the Stephen Curry show, with him carrying the offense (which would have been very entertaining). With Curry out and the team struggling, the league is going to get more of its stars on national games. |

Should have done it since day one of this season.
Everybody should have known they would be terrible.
I just don’t think that team will be the same next year in terms of being good.

What? No one wants to watch a team that's won 4 games?

Curry wasn't injured though but yeah they weren't going to make the playoffs I don't think anyone expected them to be this bad though. |

The team isn't worth watching right now but they are basically doing what the Spurs did to get Tim Duncan back in the day. One year of tanking will net them a high draft pick to trade for somebody useful, or keep if there is somebody in the draft that could help them immediately. |
