Why? The Spurs have been in higher rated finals....have the Cavs?
San Antonio/Cleveland 6.3 rating lowest ever for a NBA Finals Game 1
Sad...
But don't blame Lebron..
Blame the Spurs.

Yeah everytime the Spurs are on the Finals the ratings go down a big deal!
And when the Cavs are on the Finals the ratings go down even further.
Took the Cavs to hit the all time low...
Question:
What makes Cleveland think anyone gives a fnck about it? It has a river that catches on fire? Last I heard...Cleveland was the anus of the USA.
Cleveland must think it's LA or something.

Yep, Cleveland is dragging us down. If only Detroit had beaten you guys.
And the Nets and the Pistons too?
Fact of the matter put the Cavs with any other team and the ratings will go up quickly!
I'm surprised the 1999 Finals had better ratings despite the lockout, well maybe becuase it has to do something with New York
I'll tell you one thing in regard to all of these Lebron/Jordan comparisons, the Bulls could have played the Antartica Polar Bears and still would have gotten a 13....

It's no Cleveland, that's for sure.I'm surprised the 1999 Finals had better ratings despite the lockout, well maybe becuase it has to do something with New York
Yeah, because the rest of the country was just completely on pins and needles anticipating the ratings grabber that could've been Cavs/Jazz, huh?
It showed when the Spurs played the Nets and Pistons![]()
And LeBron is certainly no Jordan....or Dwade even.
He said as he looked up....
Yes, the ratings were higher than when they played the CavsIt showed when the Spurs played the Nets and Pistons![]()

Ironically enough...the Jazz appear to be the greatest ratings draw in history. At least based on that ratings chart.
So Stern wanted Pistons/Jazz.
Got me there.
No arguing my way out of that one.

Maybe if Kingsfan realized that basketball is still played in June, the ratings would be higher. Alas...how are they to know?
jordan and bulls?
you sir are quite original...... and exactly what do the kings have to do with the spurs being boring as to watch?
He just told you.
