Game 5 Least-Watched Non-COVID Western Conference Finals Since 2013

[StatUS]

Probably a mixture of both but OKC's ratings overall have been pretty bad. It is what it is. They are a very small market and SGA hasn't caught on with casuals yet.

They should give him a more favorable whistle then

This series felt underwhelming can’t explain why though

Because only 1 game was competitive

 

[VegetasHairline]

It's 2025. Please stop discussing ratings.

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

It was a belt to ass from beginning to end and even the one game Minnesota won was by like 40

There was no suspense to any of the games really

Definitely one of the more boring Conf Finals in the past decade

Game 4 wasn’t bad but I always felt like the Thunder would end up winning it

Western Conference Basketball is dying without Luka

Denver-OKC was the WCF, I think that was pretty clear.

It's actually weird that casuals don't tune in for OKC games. Their brand of basketball is quite exciting to watch. They're not the problem, it's the opposition that cant keep up and keep the games interesting.

knicks winning in 7 confirmed

Game 4 wasn’t bad but I always felt like the Thunder would end up winning it

Felt like that whole second half was the Wolves cutting the lead to 5-7 points then OKC immediately going on a 10-0 run

OKC-Denver was the real WCF

More ratings talk

 

[Sterling Archer]

The game was over off the rip. But SGA isnt entertaining to watch no matter how effective he is. Low ratings makes sense.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Parity is actually bad for ratings

Well that’s what the league wanted is going to continue to happen under this new CBA with no more Superteams.

 

[cartierhoe]

OKC/Denver was the real Conference Finals, and might be the Thunder's toughest comp in these playoffs

 

[CrimsonTider]

Why would anyone watch that?

 

[Killer Instinct]

I dont believe this. Not with Ant-Man playing.

Silver is the issue. Don't give last years #1 seed in the Western conference with the 2nd place finisher in MVP voting a Christmas game. Keep trotting out old players for cheap ratings when the NFL has already snatched Christmas from you.

Start promoting your new stars. New fans tend to latch on to champions and/or stars.
