And I said at the time that the ratings would go up as the series went along and you disagreed. It peaked higher than any game in the last 2 Finals. Don’t pretend you saw this coming. [Reply]

Umm anybody with a clue could see this was going to be a more competitive series than the last 2 years.
And now you’re proving my initial that you disagreed with correct saying the low rating had a lot to do with GS being too dominant and pretending like you knew that all along :-)
The bottom line is your narrative was that the ratings were low simply because there was no Lebron. Hindsight says you were wrong. [Reply]

One game out did the games of last year and the year before and the series outraged it because it went more games which will always be the case
Clearly everyone saw it was gonna be so much more competitive before the series then it took golden states 2/3 best player to get hurt and miss games for it to go 6.
How does hindsight say lebron doesn’t drive ratings? They were in the tank [Reply]

Dude, I said the ratings had a lot to do with Lebron, but it was just as much about people being tired of GS winning and in dominant fashion.
The second GS was on the ropes, the ratings went up significantly higher than they were with Lebron the last 2 years.
If you’re still going to try and tell me that GS’s dominance didn’t play a big role in the poor ratings, you’re fucking retarded. [Reply]

Wasn’t golden state on the ropes after game 3? [Reply]
They didn’t go up til what, game 5? Doesn’t seem that significant but I’m not overly invested here so you win
You’re right it wasn’t till game 5 that they blew up, but that just further proves my original point.
Going into game 5, the Raptors were up 3-1 and GS looked like they were going to lose this series. Once GS was about to lose, the ratings shot up back to where they were with Lebron, despite no Lebron. Then GS won, the series got competitive, and the ratings were better than they’ve been in years. Excluding Canada as well.
People were clearly tired of seeing GS win it like I tried to tell you, but you shrugged it off to Lebron hate. Your investment in this doesn’t make you any less wrong. [Reply]
