2007 NBA Finals worst TV rated in years
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070616/...kn_nba_ratings
NEW YORK - The NBA finals were a television bust. San Antonio's four-game sweep of Cleveland finished with a record-low 6.2 television rating and 11 share on ABC, Nielsen Media Research said Friday.
That was down 27 percent from the 8.5/15 for Miami's six-game victory over Dallas last year and 5 percent under the previous low, a 6.5/12 for San Antonio's six-game win over New Jersey in 2003. The NBA finals averaged 9.3 million viewers this year

It was horrible. The Cavs were easily the worst team to every play in the Finals, and the Spurs are, with out a doubt, the most boring dynasty in sports.

1) The Cavs were not very good. However, many people watched just for Lebron, so its probably a trade off.
2) The NBA is becoming less appealing to the average guy. Unless its a traditional team (Lakers, Knicks) or a certain personality, its just not that interesting to the average sports fan.

I can't stand watching the NBA. I love watching college basketball, but the NBA just annoys me. It probably doesn't help that it seems like the Pacers are on the local news every other night because of some stupid off the court antic (like shooting a gun outside a strip club).

On a side note, there is a new bball team in Atlanta...
"The Atlanta Crunk"
Its a CBA team, and I almost vomited when I heard about it. As if the city doesn't have a terrible image as it is.
As John Kincaid stated, "Atlanta already has one CBA team (the Hawks), we don't need another."

This could be just me, but the reason I feel that I don't really get into the Finals (unless it's a team I typically follow, or appears to be an awesome match up) is that I feel that they drag out the series WAY too long.
Case in point: In game four, had the Cavs beaten the Spurs, it would be THREE days before game five, and it wasn't as if the teams were travelling during that time.
Comparing the Finals set up to baseball, I can't recall that there's that much delay between games for the divisional, League championship, or World Series as there is with the NBA - that's why they pretty much lose me every year as soon as the Finals begin.
What do you think?
