What the does Crestside Cutthoat mean?
The only thing this shows is that the Cavs are just as weak as the Nets were, if not even weaker, when it comes to compe ion. Pistons/Spurs was rated an 8.2 because each team had a chance to win. The Cavs just suck as compe ion.
So Fist , I mean Fast Dunk, what has your little history lesson shown?
All I see it showing is proof that your "prodigal son" isn't the ratings grabber you and the rest of your fellow tools seem to think.
The only way this series can get high ratings is if Lebron scores in the 40's in a cavs win. But he would have to ask Bruce permission to do that.
Los Angeles & New York.1999 SPURS VS KNICKS 11.3
2000 LAKERS VS PACERS 11.6
2001 LAKERS VS SIXERS 12.1
2002 LAKERS VS NETS 10.2
2003 SPURS VS NETS 6.5
2004 PISTONS VS LAKERS 11.5
2005 SPURS VS PISTONS 8.2
2006 HEAT VS MAVERICKS 8.5
How you can beat Hollywood and Broadway? People are blaming the Spurs for the ratings. You think if Duncan is playing for the Knicks and they're in the finals instead of the Spurs, the rating would still be down?
I don't think so...
why is it SI reports:
Last year's Game 1 between Miami and Dallas earned a 7.8 rating and yours @ 8.5?

Just wondering what the ratings were like when the KINGS were in the Finals??
It's doesn't help when the only people who tune in to watch are shooting each other in the head. This is one of those stories that reminds you how much you love San Antonio's "small town in a big city" atmosphere.
Finals Party, San Anto Style:
Party takes a bloody turn

A shooting between two friends early Friday left a Taft High School graduate dead and another man charged with murder after one fired on the other at an all-night party, police said.
The death of Thomas Mauricio Farley, 20, came as a shock to those who knew him and suspect James Roy Montez, 20 — friends and fellow Taft High School graduates who had gathered at a party to watch the Spurs play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, according to the victim's uncle Gerard Mauricio.
But no explanation Friday could bring back Lucy Farley's only child.
"They killed Tommy," she wailed, as friends and relatives tried to comfort her. "They shot him in the back of the head."
Montez remained at the Bexar County Jail on a $125,000 bond, charged with murder.
According to police, several people between the ages of 17 and 20 had gathered for a party at a town home in the 7800 block of Micron Drive.
Various guests at the party said Montez was carrying a handgun in his back pocket and had spent at least part of the night playing with the weapon, according to a police report. At least one witness thought the gun wasn't loaded, believing Montez had stuffed the magazine into his front pocket, and told police that the shooing appeared to be an accident, the report said.
Witnesses said Farley and Montez were drunk and "joking around" when Farley told his friend, "Shoot me." Montez did, striking Farley once in the eye, according to the report.
Montez ran out the front door and fired about five more shots into the air before he fled, the report said. Neighbors said the sound of the rapid-fire pops was followed by the screech of a car leaving the scene and the yells of partygoers as they spilled out of the townhome and into the parking lot of the complex.
Police arrived shortly after 3:00 a.m. and found Farley lying on the dining room floor, the report said. He was taken to Wilford Hall Medical Center, where he died from a single gunshot wound to the head around 6 a.m., according to the Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office.
Officers later picked up Montez at the Eagle Ridge Apartments in the 3700 block of Wurzbach, a little more than 2 miles away, according to police.
Evidence technicians recovered pieces of a gun in an overgrown field behind the apartments, but it was unclear if that was the weapon used in the assault.
Statements that Montez made to detectives while in custody led them to believe he "knowingly caused the death of (Farley)" by shooting him, the report said.
Montez' family had no comment Friday.
Friends and family could not say exactly how long Montez and Farley knew each other; but they said Farley, friendly and gregarious, was known to just about everyone.
The son of a retired San Antonio police officer, Farley had lived with his mother and grandmother since the age of 5 when his parents divorced.
Known as a ham and a health nut, he loved to work out, and was always fit and athletic.
"He had big dreams," said friend and next-door neighbor Keith Sanchez, 19, as he remembered the poems Farley had shared with him.
Farley joined ROTC at Taft High School and once considered joining the service, especially since his maternal grandfather served in three American wars.
But he changed his mind as he watched the conflict in Iraq unfold.
"He wanted to live his life," said his mother. "He wanted to live his life to the fullest."
He had been taking classes at Northwest Vista Community College since he graduated from Taft in 2005 and had nurtured an interest in communications, especially film, his mother said.
Framed pictures of Farley at various ages cluttered the living room coffee table Friday: a smiling baby in his mother's arms; and the mature high school student, smart in his blue ROTC uniform.
And among dozens of pictures in a Farley family photo album, one shows him standing in a classroom beside two classmates. One is Montez.
"All his friends were very good boys," said Farley's grandmother Sally Mauricio. "I'm sure that boy (Montez) was a very good boy."

All we need is the racism and ty weather and we'll be just like Phoenix/Arizona.
By 1991, most states had adopted Martin Luther King Day except for Arizona.
The NFL, which had an increasing percentage of African American players, and urged by the NFL Players' Association, voted to yank Super Bowl XXVII from Arizona, and awarded it instead to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
Faced with the boycott, Arizona voters finally approved the holiday by ballot in 1992, and on March 23, 1993, the NFL awarded Super Bowl XXX (to be played January 1996) to Tempe.
That's a stretch. Texas adopted it that same year, BTW. Phoenix was actually one of the first major cities in the country to adopt MLK Day. I know real racism when I see it, and I only need turn to:
Outrage over Texas college MLK Day party
JANUARY 25--Students at a Texas college threw a Martin Luther King Jr. Day party that featured attendees wearing gang apparel and Afro wigs, carrying malt liquor, handguns, and fried chicken, and even one woman dressed as Aunt Jemima.
What am I doing? Arguing who's more racist with a TEXAN???!!!
City/State smack is very weak, but not quite as weak as city/state smack coming from the fan of a team that the Spurs ALREADY BEAT. Did you run out of bait or something?
Well that, and the fact that the ratings still aren't going to help the Cavs beat the Spurs in this series.
I still haven't gotten a good answer on why we're supposed to give a flying about ratings....considering we're watching and loving it so far.
Texas was never threatened with a boycott from African-American athletes like Arizona was. At the end of the day Arizona's about as racist as you can get in the US of A.
3.6% of Arizona's population is black. 11.7% of the Texan population is black.
A Phoenix-Cleveland Final wouldn't have done better.
At least we know the Spurs are boring. Whats the reason nobody wants to see Lebron?
Nah we woulda been blown out be Pheonix worst match up ever and no-one would watch...
Exactly!Nah we woulda been blown out be Pheonix worst match up ever and no-one would watch...
You just contradicted yourself.
What's funny is the lame trolls from other teams trying to hold up the Spurs as boring despite the fact that three of its four Finals appearances have had better ratings than a 1980 series between the Lakers and 76ers that featured Magic, Kareem, and Dr. J and among other things had the 'Magic at center game' and the infamous baseline, one handed reverse scoop layup by Dr. J that we all see all the time in the vintage NBA highlights.
So apparently the 'boring' Spurs > Magic, Kareem, and Dr. J.
Thanks for playing, trolls.
America will watch LeBron James in future years, when his opponent is legitimate. Right now, the country has its back turned to the cheater Spurs, just like they do for Barry Bonds.
it's because people already know what will happen
Spurs winning it's 4th le and i like it
