YES ratings plummet without wins or stars

They have Emmys galore and reputations that are unmatched.
The product on the court? Not so much.
So, it’s no surprise that the ratings for YES have dropped precipitously, as ND reported a couple of weeks ago on Twitter and as Brian Lewis reported Wednesday.
The Nets entered this week averaging 43,000 total viewers per game on YES. That’s down 34.85 percent from 66,600 at this same point last season, when both Durant and Irving were still in Brooklyn.
