Default NHL draft lottery outdraws Raptors game 7

"The Raptors game was not the most-watched sports event on TV last weekend. That honour, by about 40,000 viewers, went to the NHL Draft Lottery."

Most likely all Edmonton viewers looking for another first overall pick. #NoGood

I had no idea the NBA playoffs were happening. Or that the Raptors made the playoffs. Or anything else about the NBA.

I just can't get into basketball. The last 5 minutes of the game takes an hour with all the time outs. Drives me insane.

How are regular nhl playoff games doing against raps games, or blue jay games for that matter?

Click the link...the answer is in the article.


Some NHL games have better ratings than raps and Jays, some not so much.

This might have something to do with the fact that the NBA is unwatchable garbage.

You could not pay me to watch basketball OR the draft lottery.

I didn't watch either but easily would have picked the lottery. I used to be a bit of a basketball fan but the disaster that was the Vancouver Grizzlies and the constant fouling and time outs really turned me off the game.

Would you rather watch 2 games of basketball, or 1 game of soccer?

The Raptors set a record for NBA basketball in Canada on Sunday by averaging 1.53 million viewers on Sportsnet for their victory over the Indiana Pacers.
They still did good, too bad the blew game 1 of East semis today.

Of course the lottery numbers will be high in Canada. 5 Canadian team had a legit shot at it.

I watched the last 5 minutes (game time as the last two minutes of most NBA games take about 10-15 minutes real time due to the lame fouling, timeouts, commercials, etc) of the Raptors game as really that's all you need to see of an NBA game.
