    What will TV Rating be on NBA Game 7?

    If you're even a mild sports-fan, you're watching this game. If they could, the network could charge Super Bowl type ad-rates for this game.

    They should start the season a month later and make the conf and actual final 9 games and extend until mid aug. would not be shocked to see this within 15 years. And the ratings will obviously be huge for this one.

    Huuuuge. Curry the choir boy, who finally got mad, versus the self-proclaimed King, who is either loved or hated. Cavs down 3-1, now 3-3. The Draymond suspension, Lue and James whining which led to it in many minds. Kerr and Curry fined for on and off the court anger towards the refs. 2x MVP, first unanimous versus the 4x MVP, considered the best in the world until Curry came along. Record breaking, defending champs GSW versus Cleveland, who has never won. LeBron, the prodigal son who promised to bring them a title, but has his 2-4 record in the Finals. The NBA couldn't ask for anything better.

    Very true, boys. No obvious conclusion to series, so drama thru the roof.

    Whoever wins, the Monday paper storylines will be big. NBA office is loving this.

    The NBA should just put Game 7 on PPV. I'd order it.

    Ratings will be high but no where close to Super Bowl. Outside of Cleveland and Oakland people won't be lining up watch parties for their friends etc. Lets not forget most people outside of those cities couldn't care less vs Super Bowl when you get the most casual fan tuning in for commercials, half time show and generally just the 'event' itself. This isn't the same type of event, not even close.

    Definitely not even close to the Super Bowl, but any casual basketball fan should be tuning in. Friends will be hanging out to watch or go to the bar. I'd be one of them if I didn't lose my ass waiting for this game. Still may find a way to bet and go out. Easily the biggest Finals game of the 2000's.

    I object. This Final game will beat any standing Nba final rating out the water. And people outside of Cleveland and Oakland will be tuning in sir. Curry vs James. Come on son!

    Is there an app that lets you skip through commercials? This is the only way for me to watch the game tonite.

    Whatever the final "rating numbers" come in at.... we'll definitely know where this NBA product stands. That's for sure.
