Maybe it takes a ticket-buying NBA fan with real money in the game to credibly answer this question, but here it goes: Which NBA fan base got ripped off more egregiously this week? And a lot might change by Christmas Day. Certainly the TV advertisers who’ve bought something in the range of $30 million (U.S.) in NBA inventory for Christmas Day broadcasts in the U.S. would appreciate such a pleasant surprise. And unlike the NHL, the NBA didn’t have a built-in Olympic window with which to jam in makeup games. Neither will the Raptors, mind you, refund the premium they charged on tickets to the Warriors game, a premium based almost entirely on Curry’s drawing power.
