I remember posting something about how bad the rating were for the Mavs/Heat series last year when we were up 2-0. After those horrible ratings, the refs started calling the game completely differently and Wade dominated. I wonder if these ratings mean that Lebron will be allowed to go wild on the Spurs?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

NEW YORK -- Game 1 of the NBA Finals drew the lowest rating ever for an opening-game in prime time, dropping 19 percent from last year.

The San Antonio Spurs' 85-76 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night earned a 6.3 rating and 11 share on ABC. The previous low was a 6.4/11 in 2003.

Last year's Game 1 between Miami and Dallas earned a 7.8 rating and 14 share.

The rating is the percentage watching a telecast among all homes with televisions, and the share is the percentage tuned in to a broadcast among those households with televisions on at the time. A ratings point represents 1,114,000 households.
