    Tom Orsborn: TNT's ratings bonanza

    Spurs-Lakers has apparently made for some compelling television.

    According to TNT, the network's coverage of Game 4 of the Western Conference finals was the most-watched and highest-rated NBA game on cable this season and the second-most watched NBA telecast of the year, trailing only ABC's coverage of Game 7 of the second-round series between the Celtics and Cavaliers.

    Game 4 of the Spurs-Lakers resulted in a 4.8 rating, meaning more than 5.3 million households tuned in.

    Through 40 games, TNT's coverage of the playoffs is up 16 percent over the same period last year, TNT said Wednesday in release. The network's coverage of the Western Conference finals has averaged a robust 4.1 rating, a hike of 37 percent over last year's coverage of the Eastern Conference finals.

    This concludes that the Spurs MUST be the reason the ratings are so high... right?

    Funny that it was Lakers-Spurs, not Lakers-Jazz or Lakers-Nuggets.

    But no. You Laker fans are right. The Spurs have no impact on the ratings at all.

    That's not true, if you look at any Finals the Spurs were in, you'd notice that they have a negative impact

    The Laker fan bait is working perfectly. You think I really give a about ratings.

    Just goes to show, yet again, that Laker fan always places a high priority on that doesn't matter.

    How true. They fail in TV ratings just like Manure Gayn00bli fails in flopping

    Prior to Game 7 ESPN ran a poll about what WCF matchup people wanted to see more, Lakers/Hornets or Lakers/Spurs. I was surprised to see that the Hornets was the overwhelming winner. I know people don't like the Spurs but there's a ton of history in this rivalry. I'm not surprised it has good ratings.
