Maybe if they gave them something to highlight they would give them more coverage.
I remember how mad we get when we don't get enough coverage. Cavs fans were pretty mad on thursday about their coverage. There is also a Video from there Evening News Broadcast.
See the Video here

Cavs fans fuming about "pro-Spurs" game telecast
Wire Reports - Excerpt from WKYC-TV
Saturday, June 09, 2007
In Cleveland, fans are venting about "pro-Spurs" coverage on network television.
Their hometown Cavaliers are in the NBA Championship dance for the first time in team history, but many locals who watched Game One coverage on ABC wondered why Cleveland was getting the cold shoulder.
Cavs fan, Sean McLaughlin complained that "ABC was almost overboard San Antonio."
On local sports talk radio, the lack of respect from the network was a hot button Friday afternoon.
Mark "Munch" Bishop, was on location in Willoughby. He said, "I've got a bone to pick with ESPN and ABC. You better show some Cleveland highlights. Let's show our coach walking down Gateway or the Warehouse District. Or how about our coach on vacation on the beach with somebody?"
One video clip that sent Cavs fans into a wine and gold lather was the segment featuring Spurs coach Gregg Popovich waxing poetically about his star, Tim Duncan. The video showed the two of them on the sandy beach in St. Croix in the Virgin Islands.
Cavs fan, Eward Klineman, said "my wife and I thought it was a little strange. That Popovich and Duncan beach scene was a little off kilter. I didn't like it at all. "
Jenae Respress added, "they did the interview with the Tim Duncan. They mentioned nothing really on Cleveland, nothing on LeBron other than about how bad his play was. And he pretty much didn't show up for the day. But it was pretty one sided."
In Independence, Dave Recke, said, "t just makes you feel a little bitter. Its the first time we've had anything big and we're being thrown to the sides."
Dolores Tabb was at the Giant Eagle store in Legacy Village to pick up her tickets to watch the game inside the "Q".
She told WKYC-TV, "Oh, we will settle this on the court. No matter what ABC does!"
lebronfans are complaining about a lack of media attention?
strange from what i recall on thursday afternoon on espn they where showing anything about the cavaliers mainly lebron james dunking over tim duncan i have no idea what they are crying about
The Pop and Duncan on the beach thing was a little fruity.
Maybe if they were in the finals more they'd know that the pro cavs halftime crap would prob air during Game 3 when they are at home.
the cavs haven't done over the history of that franchise. they got a cakewalk to the finals. why the should anyone be saying anything about the cavs? because they have 4-for-16 lebronze on the team? those en led wannabees.
Oh boo friggin hoo. What have the Cavs done to get any respect? Win the Leastern Conference Championship? Big deal.
Try playing the Lakers in a playoff series sometime. You're lucky to get any coverage at all.
Win a Championship, and then you'll get some respect. Until then, go cry in your beer.
Talk about lame ass to whine about. The media did nothing but kiss your asses heading into the series non-stop. Lebron this and that he is the next Jordan, although the public does not seem to think so given the ratings. Of course they are going to talk about Duncan and Pop and the Spurs more in game 1. They are in their 4th finals in 9 years and Duncan is on the verge of becoming an immortal player in NBA history. They have been together for 10 years and the piece that went over their history was great and not at all out of place.
You have never gone to the beach with another guy before.
I liked the story about Duncan and Pop. In a time of free agency and change, relationships like that are rare.

Bingo !!
So 90-10 coverage in favor of the Cavs isn't enough. Gotcha, Cleveland.
i thought they took turns on who to highlight in interviews. i'll bet they show a lebron thing on sunday and the cav supporters will think it's a reaction, not the original plan.
they should try to be realistic about coverage. it's reflective on what people expect. lakers were getting all the love in 2001-2003. they earned it - of course the average spurs fan was upset over that.
Yeah, how rude, let's collect all the company charge cards from those media bullies and make them pay their own way around........ BTW, isn't ABC broadcasting the next game HiDef to Cleveland but not San Antonio? Waaaaahhhhhh
The third game will be in Cleveland, and the coverage will be all about the cavs. The cleveland fans just haven't experienced this before. Maybe they alwo failed to notice that the pregame show was virtually all LeBron, and the interviews with spurs were questions about LeBron. They'll get it after a while.
ABC usually covers the half time show featuring the home team.
This won't change in Game 2 when they keep covering the Spurs.
Games 3, 4 and 5 will be all Cavs..
I don't even understand why Cavs fans are crying about this issue.
Ya'll get 3-D at the Q. Quit ing complaining.

No, I haven't.You have never gone to the beach with another guy before.
Funny .
dam.. I thought this was about the game on the court... not the media circus surrounding it..
duncan's girlfriend was there too, you can see her blond hair.
Queen LeBroom needs to show up if those clowns up there want more coverage. He's a one-man show that hasn't shown anything yet.
the highlight of this article is that this guy is a tool
