    You think he won't make the adjustment even though its painfully obvious he should.

        Keep him on the bench and bring him in when it starts to get ugly.

        My guess is, he'll have a lot of playing time by series' end.

          He's already playing more minutes than Larry.

          If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

              Spurs win was never in doubt.

              I hope the Cavs can win this...but I honestly can't see it.

              IMO this is the best team in the NBA playing about the 5th ir 6th best team.

              The real title series was SA v Phoenix. I said that at the time.

              Would love to be proven wrong though...but this series, to me, looks as lopsided as LA v Philly.

              But Game One was great..AI torched them hard

                I have a feeling that SA would like to win this series in thier homecourt, so I would anticipate that CLE will win 2 games in this series.

NBA really needs a running team to make it to the finals so we can see some exciting games. Game one was boring unless your a Cavs or Spurs fan if they games are like this the ratings will be low.

                  The NBA set two records in Game 1 of the NBA finals.

                  For the fourth straight year, the league set a total attendance record, with 23,362,721 fans attending regular season and playoff games. Last year, it was 23,347,135.

                  The current postseason attendance average of 20,016 would be the second largest ever. The NBA averaged 20,565 fans in 2001, when seven games were played at the much larger Alamodome.

                  The numbers made Stern smile.

                  "You're looking at a pretty happy commissioner," he said.

                  There were to be 128 television broadcasters, breaking the finals record of 112. The series was drawing plenty of overseas interest with both teams having a strong international presence.

                  The Spurs have Tony Parker (France), Manu Ginobili and Fabricio Oberto (Argentina), Francisco Elson (Netherlands), and Beno Udrih (Slovenia). Zydrunas Ilgauskas (Lithuania), Anderson Varejao (Brazil) and Sasha Pavlovic (Montenegro) play for the Cavaliers.

                  There is TV coverage in all those players' home countries. In all, the finals were being shown in 205 countries and territories and 46 languages.


                  ------------------------

                  Looks like the NBA and its Finals are doing just fine.

                    That's why I like the 2-3-2 format of the finals... most finals are won in 6 or 7 games as shown by my research below, making the home court team most likely to see victory (if they win) at their home court (how it should be).

                    4 games - 7 times
                    5 games - 17 times
                    6 games - 26 times
                    7 games - 19 times

                      NEW YORK (AP) -- 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.

                        I guess no-one likes LeBron as much as everyone wanted to believe

                        Noooo.... it's not my Spurs!

                            No suprise about the ratings Spurs are flat out boring and if Lebron is doing nothing for the Cavs they will put you to sleep as well. Spurs hold most of the lowest ratings ever for teams in the finals.

                              Ratings or Ring. Which would your team rather have?


                              Answer is obvious. Spurs will get theirs.

                                Also... let's get Marv Albert, Bill Walton, and Bob Costas on an NBC broadcasted Game 2 of the NBA Finals...

                                guarantee the ratings spark drastically.
