    The NBA as a product took a hit this year

    Every game in this series went against the public
    Most games were unintersting blow outs
    Watching Lebron fall to the ground and cry was a little to much
    Geez like thugs are gonna cry
    NBA has probably dropped to a new low
    Really poor product now

    How about the fact they play 82 games, then 3 rounds of 7 game series, and then just as it's about to get settled the league office interferes? I bet they regret it now ...I don't care how much extra they made with these two games. The LeBron-chasing-a-ring-for-Cleveland storyline could have run & run.

    On the bright side it's good for the NBA product that Joe Lacob didn't win another title -that guy's the biggest fa(kin idiot in the golden state.

    Lebron is a traveling salesmen he goes where the selling looks good
    Loads up which friends he wants to bring along to help him
    NBA is trash series suked people watch only because it is playoff Basketball ...but really was it?

    I was surprised there wasn't a Cavs v. Heat series this year. That would've been awesome.

    The blowouts need to be worked on.

    I don't think the NBA product dropped to a new low...

    The Cleveland comeback brought it to life.

    I think the NBA as a product flourished this year not only within the United States but beyond its borders and established a franchise in Canada that really became a competitive team

    The NBA is unwatchable. The quality of play in this series was hideous.

    To be honest I'm not that big of a fan of the NBA. For one reason, it seems like a lot of the players take a lot of games on throughout the regular season and the only part of the season that matters is the playoffs.

    I think when LeBron retires Toronto can have a chance. What would really be amazing would be if LeBron was the first player to win an NBA championship in Toronto

    The problem is the marketing. Fundamental basketball has been roadkill for years. I care about the game of basketball, not the ratings.

    What the rating means is that there are more people tuning to watch basketball despite having a few salty jealous warriors fans and LeBron haters stating that they would not watch NBA again. They will be back next season. NBA must do something right to have more people watching it.

    total score 610-610 going into game 7; game 7 is won by only 4 points.

    Highest number of viewers for an NBA game in 18 years.
    I think you might be wrong on this one.

    Without ratings there would be no basketball...

    Basketball will eventually take over football one day. The demographics all point to it.

    It's absolutely garbage agreed. But unfortunately people watch it anyway just like nfl so the NBA continues to keep it shitty. The NBA is wwe and that garbage gets ratings every week. We are a very stupid society there's not much else to say

    Never in history have we seen guys shoot 3s like Thompson and Curry. Then James leads the finals in all categories. I don't think the NBA is a watered down product. I think NFL in the future might take a hit becuase kids these days are not playing football due to fear of concussions
