How about Houston for comparison. Keep in mind that Houston is not a basketball town, has many transplants, and they've had trouble generating hype since they had the TV deal fiasco where nobody could watch the local teams. Keeping that in mind...


"Game 7 (against the Clippers) generated a massive 25.1 rating in the Houston market, making it the highest-rated NBA playoff game ever in the market, as far as records go back (2003)."

"#Rockets-Warriors 2 posts 15.9 Nielsen rating in both Houston & SF-Oak-San Jose."

So yes, 10.1 seems pretty low...

Comparing a game 7 vs a game 3 in a series that is pretty much already decided? Really?

You Houston fans really are something.
