My call for boycotting worked. Those are really pathetic numbers. I'm betting the advertisers are pulling their ads now. People might see their local insurance companies, jewelry or water bottles ads now.

Re: NBA Finals: Spurs vs. Cavs

If this were Pistons vs. Spurs and the series was getting these exact same ratings, would they be making a bigger deal about it?

The NBA needs to go for long term ratings improvement, not short term. Get rid of the flop reward system.

What they need to do is market the game all year. What happened to "I love this game?"

Re: NBA Finals: Spurs vs. Cavs

So what happends if it stays the lowest rated and the Spurs sweep?

The amt of money lost would be staggering.

Everyone was writing on how the league needed to get LBJ in the Finals. How could they be so wrong?

Maybe the common fan is not buying the hype and really does not like LBJ or feel that he was too young and un-accomplished to call the King. Not to mention how it insults every other superstar in the game. The kind of superstars that dedicated fans adore.

Been replaced by "right-now" with the Eva Lagoria clone.

Re: NBA Finals: Spurs vs. Cavs

Nobody wants to see blowouts and once the game gets into the second qtr, that is what is happening and the channels are turned. No one is Tivo-ing them either. The league does not really want a sweep either, so I expect a few homecooked calls tonight. The question is can the Cavs take advantage of them or will they still fall by the wayside?? yeah probably.

The other question is IF, the Cavs possibly win tonights' game, it will force a game 5 on Fathers Day Sunday. Labron's girl friend is due to deliver their second child on Sunday.....does he play in the game or sit at the hospital...do they induce labor for a Friday or Saturday delivery or set up a delivery room on Sunday at the Quicken Loans arena?

Re: NBA Finals: Spurs vs. Cavs

If the rumours about the Cavs organization are true with regards to how they kow-tow and acquiecse to LBJ's every whim and sideways glance, I'd put money on the franchise doing whatever it is LBJ wants.
