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?

All of the posts above probably have some validity.
It might be that viewers/fans are getting a little tired of athletes attitudes and the constant runins with the law, etc.
Really, though, the networks cringe when a championship in any sport includes both teams from "smaller" markets. The folks in the "big" markets can't be bothered.

I don't really see why people say these Finals were boring. I enjoyed the games I did watch. I laughed at anyone that thought the Cavs had a chance. People that enjoy basketball as a whole more than likely enjoyed the Finals, but like someone said...its not drawing in the average viewer.

As a true basketball fan.......I like watching the Spurs sometimes because they play the game right, fundamentally sound, etc. I usually become disinterested pretty quickly though when Duncan starts his bitch fest and Ginobili starts flopping up and down the court.
I just thought the games were anticlimactic, sloppy, and just plain bad. I mean look at game 3..........90 missed shots between the two teams. Usually when a team (in this case the Spurs) misses 40 shots in a game and can't break 80, thier gonna lose. But low and behold......the Cavs somehow miss 50 shots and lose by 3. Goodness.

To me, it has nothing to do with the amount of time between games. I am quickly losing interest because of the lack of contact allowed, the refs pretty much controlling who wins the games, and the flopping not being called a tech. There are just so many things that irritate me about the NBA that is making me not want to watch anymore.
That being said, I am so freaking glad Cleveland didn't win.

Not only to the Knicks but in front of a crowd that is yelling, "Fire Isaiah". Awful!

No, you are correct. The NBA playoffs are ridiculously drawn out. It seems like the Mavs were playing the Warriors like 3 months ago. Really though, I have no idea why they take so long to play a series....makes no sense to me.
