NBA Finals ratings : Game 1 between the Celtics and the Mavericks was viewed by only 10.99 million people

My thing was that there ain't nowhere to watch it.
Unless I got cable or youtube tv. I ain't paying for cable just for a finals series when the games come on HBO max during the regular season and most the playoffs for my team.

Plus its Dallas vs Celtics. Nobody had this match up in mind when the playoffs started. No real anticipation there

Two unlikeable cities and teams with unlikable players in peak silver NBA era. I’m not shocked.

Why do so many of y'all care more about the ratings than the play?

Minny/Denver hit 11.3 on cable though

Minnesota’s comeback win, which peaked with 11.3 million viewers from 10:15-10:30 PM ET, delivered the fourth-largest early round audience since 2012 — behind three games last year: Warriors-Kings Game 7 on ABC in the first round (9.84M), Warriors-Lakers Game 6 on ESPN in the second round (8.64M) and Sixers-Celtics Game 7 on ABC in the second round (8.44M).

NBC’s about to treat Ant like the second coming.

CONNECT A HD ANTENNA
TO YOUR TELEVISION.

YOU CAN GET ONE FOR $10
IF YOU DONT HAVE ONE.

$10 for the finals might be worth it

Only time people watch the Celtics is when they playing Lebron or Miami

The general public has never gave a damn about the Heat unless they were playing the Knicks or had LeBron on their team

 

[MJ Truth]

Caring about TV ratings when it comes to sports is dumb as fukk anyway. The networks themselves don’t even value sports for the ratings.

This game peaked at 12.1 million during the 1st half but people started tuning out because it was a blowout
