Could ABC have asked for a better NBA final?

[iGotWinners]

Im soooooooo fuckin frustrated on which side to take... Dallas +4.5 or Dallas ML

I think best bet is DAL +4.5 and u can buy up to 3 pts to increase chance of winning. I'm expecting game 1 to be a close one. Lots of visiting teams have stole game 1 in this year's playoffs. That's just my advice, in the end it's your choice.

The only ratings they are getting is from the ghetto so it doesnt really matter

Bobby there was nothing wrong with this was there?

[BettingGeek]

after lakers and celtics eliminated, this was best finals possible i think.

lakers vs. heat woulda been great

[yisman]

Yes, they could have.

[scarp]

I actually might watch the finals this year!

[pittmatt80]

Yeah they will hype the hell out of this one especially since it's a rematch of '06. They have some drastically changed teams but this should be one hell of a series regardless.

[HustleGetPaid]

Not really. U will now have all of Europe watching cuz of Dirk and maybe Peja lol.

Shit, might even get Some south americans views cuz of JJ Barea

Euros don't give a f@ck about Dirk and Peja, maybe the former Soviet Union tho...

[BlazeMoney]

Lakers-Heat would've been much better.

Dallas isn't exactly a ratings cash cow

[raiders32]

I think Miami vs Lakers would have been better for ratings.

[LiarGame]

Miami vs Lakers would have had the biggest names, but Dallas isn't all that bad.

[Monte]

Biggest names on Lakers? What are you guys smoking, the Fakers are worthless and the only big name there now is Kobe.
And iam already bored of him, while i surely like watching Dallas play. People must be stupid if they would like the Heat to destroy the lame Lakers better.

[Fischnasty]

hopefully dallas can pull off the upset

[lolbear]

yes

[venice2222]

Lakers heat would have been the dream matchup

[Wreckloose]

The country at large doesn't care about Dirk.

[danso]

yeah this is a very intriguing finale because it's a rematch of 2006 even though both teams have overhauled a lot

[Degenerate]

I agree with most others that Lakers v Heat woulda been bigger.
But this is still going to be a good matchup.

[meckis]

Lakers would have better ratings but still it should be very popular final

[Rolo1984]

take the ML Miami usually loses the close games

Barely since they entered the playoffs.

[Raleigh77]

I don't think Dallas is a ratings dream, although it must be way better than OKC.

[patswin]

ratings should be through the roof

[azimm11]

lakers vs heat would have yielded higher ratings

Neat words rake. Why don't you get down on your knees and let the NBA stick it in your behind!?

[ephi408]

easy peasy

rockets v celtics

yao and the chinese + green = gold mine

[iGotWinners]

I'm gonna try to avoid betting on this NBA Final, and focus on MLB since NBA Post-season is ending. Lots of people chose dallas on point spread and the over the total which lost. Fukk don't follow covers.com's consensus. Make your own fukkin picks b/c it might be more successful than going with the masses. Post season's lines are tough to bet on. Miami is gonna win it all after seeing Game 1, and Dallas needs better players or players to play better or they are gonna lose again in Finals to Miami. Just sharing info and BOL!

That 'Great White Hope' shit is over. It's 2011, nobody under the age of 45 gives a shit if there is a single white guy on the floor.

That 'Great White Hope' shit is over. It's 2011, nobody under the age of 45 gives a shit if there is a single white guy on the floor.

This is probably the whitest NBA finals in awhile. Dirk, Kidd, Barea even though he's Hispanic he looks white, and Mike Miller. What more can you great white hope folks possibly ask for. I'm sure the Sports Bars are loving this NBA finals.

[blix177]

Rating should be off the chart. I don't even know which team I wanna to cheer on more. Want to see kidd, dirk get a ring. Also wanna see Miami win lol.

[ThingsFallApart]

Actually there are a lot more people in China than in Europe

Actually China is roughly 2.5 times the size of Europe. Although I am not sure how TV ownership is between the two(although thats obviously not what you meant), but that fact that you didnt know China was over 2 times the population of Europe is scary that you have a job and are a contributor to anything knowledgeable here.

Edit: horja I didn't mean you, I meant the guy you're quoting

[jjgold]

Not a bad game

Still cannot read series though

[rm18]

2009 finals had lot more white guys, 1997/98 was probably the most in modern era

[mastertiu]

it's rigged. 7 games out of them to make the most they can!

[frostno98]

Wow. Amazing last two basketball games for non fans of either teams. ABC rating must be through the roof.

[seaborneq]

A great series indeed. Great players, great drama, great endings, great defense, and I am losing my ass off.

[Maxmillion]

nope this shit is good
