The Cleveland Cavaliers are on a 15-game winning streak and they have the best record in the NBA but they aren’t playing an exciting brand of basketball which means the networks aren’t keen on scheduling them for their featured games each week. They may not be flinging threes and getting clicks for their highlights, but their dominance can’t be avoided any longer.
Dan Patrick: “The Cleveland Cavaliers are getting too good for shows, networks to avoid them...Cleveland has done a wonderful thing here; they play really good basketball. It’s not maybe your type of basketball, exciting basketball, you know, flinging threes all over the place...This is about playing winning basketball. That’s not exciting, that’s not going to get you clicks, that’s not going to get you the featured game on TNT or the Mothership.”
