No, I think they got better, with ESPN and ABC showing games and having the flexibility to switch to more entertaining games in a moments notice, I think it's better for the league and the fans.

Probably, and the same thing will eventually happen to Monday night football.
Taking events that were televised for free and putting them on cable networks shows just how greedy the world has become. having those games on regular television ensured that the general public would be able to enjoy games like the rest of the country without having to pay an arm and a leg to pay for expensive cable.
But if the ratings do drop, I doubt they will ever tell the general public about it though.

Of course, because you don't have the epic NBA on NBC theme anymore.

No, it tanked ever since players who can't shoot the ball became starters in the league.

no.
since MJ retired the ratings went down.
that and SPURs and Detroit make the game boring to watch.
