Cavs/Celtics Drew a 4.8 Rating: Dodgers/Cubs a 4.6

[Stick Up Kid]

two of the most historical franchises in MLB with huge followings got beat by the NBA

Last night’s Cavs vs. Celtics court battle drew a 4.0 MM rating with a peak of a 4.8 in the 10:15 – 10:30 PM ET slot.

This was of course all happening as over on that other Turner outlet TBS the L.A. Dodgers continued their unbeaten National League Championship Series streak to beat the Chicago Cubs 6-1 in Game 3 last night in the City of Angels. Up 26% in MM ratings over 2016’s Game 3 with 4.3 result peaking at 4.6

NBA >>>

Once the Hawks are back to dominance it's over for the other sport leagues.

Cubs already won their ring. If it’s a Yankees/Dodgers World Series the ratings are going to be sky high

I ain't one for rating wars but why you acting like the C's ain't one of the NBA's most historical franchises and they weren't going against the league's biggest star? You describe the MLB game as having " two of the most historical franchises" then just say it was "beat by the NBA" as if this was a game between the Pacers and Bucks.

ehh for example, Game 4 Indians/Yankees got a 4.4 rating.
Wednesday’s Yankees-Indians American League Division Series Game 5 had a 4.4 rating
ALDS Ratings: Big Finish For Yankees-Indians - Sports Media Watch

This isnt our uncle's Yankees with Jeter, Bernie, Joe Torre, Paul O'neal etc anymore.

Aaron Judge is a star, but not a crossover star, he's not Griffey, Bonds, Jeter, A-Rod, etc he's not gonna captivate the casual fan to tune in.

NBA isnt driven by franchises like MLB.. its star driven.

Celtics were irrelevant from 1992-2007, but the ratings for the NBA were massive.

Cubs - Dodgers started at 9 something.

Plus beisbol regional unless it's the Yankees.
