Up 4% from last year, but still down 43% from 2019's Game 1 with Toronto and Golden State.

Go woke get broke. Silver's plan to take "Black Live's Matter's" off the court and requiring players to stand for the anthem didn't work.

It’s the teams. Whoever wins will be the weakest title winning team maybe of all time.. admittedly i am not the best historian. Certainly the worst I can remember. This just doesn’t feel like an nba finals. The level of play is not up to par.

Weird, I don’t remember you posting any of the ratings from the previous rounds when the ratings were up from previous seasons

They made Game 1 way too early. Id venture to say alot of people didnt know it would be on yet

July 3rd at 11pm-Series Ended
July 4th-Independence Day
July 5th-Most people off work
July 6th-Game 1

Up 4% from last yea


suggests that last year had worse ratings, and Lebron was on one of the teams and there were captive audiences

People need to make up their minds. I thought these finals would kill it since there's no Lebron.

I don’t take political analysis from idiots who don’t know how to use apostrophes.

That has next to nothing to do with game 1’s ratings

They would have been low even if it was Clippers/Bucks. A big market wasn't going to save them.

The only thing the casual fan cares about is LeBron James or Kevin Durant. Those are the ONLY two superstars that could have kept the ratings respectable.

NBA is just a terrible sport unless you have national rivalries and likeable stars.

Since the NBA now has neither, they've turned the sport into an exhibition...3 point shooting contest. Nobody cares who wins. Seriously does anybody care who wins the Finals? In the last 10 years.

These playoffs have felt like a war of attrition. There were some compelling matchups and exciting games earlier but now it's lots of injuries and exhaustion and tired, tepid crowds. It's feels like a marathon, not a sprint. And we all know nobody watches olympic marathoners drag themselves across the finish line while everyone is glued to the set to watch the sprinting events.

Lefists won't watch without lebron, and people who love this country don't watch it anyway. This is a surprise?
