Not the Spurs fault they were all time great giving beat downs


We got two mediocre teams having close games, both these squads getting swept by a healthy Spurs team

Let's ignore Tony Parker playing on one leg and Splitter being hurt

The Spurs boring as shyt

 

[Saint1]

It's down 24% but the Spurs game was rated well also.

It says in the article Game 1 of the Finals has won TV ratings 43 times in a row

 

[360Waves]

But the 90's stans told me this generation of ball is devoid of talent and the league is dying. Even though 2010-present day has consistently generated 90's caliber TV ratings despite being in an era where TV viewership overall is less prevalent.

Warriors are white America's team not surprised.

Expect a Jordan/Kobe-esque cult following for Curry after he wins the 'Ship & FMVP.

 

[FAH1223]

The Spurs boring as shyt

The last two years were great NBA Finals matchups

I'd contend the OKC-MIA Finals was boring as shid, tbh.

 

[KillSpray]

Heard on the radio Stephen curry is the most popular athlete among millennials... Whatever that means

He's gonna be the league's new face tho, it's apparent

True but it's good for the league.

 

[28 Gramz]

New face of the league with an exciting team vs. Biggest star in North American sports

Not surprised by this at all.

 

[Bomberman]

Warriors are the most exciting team in the league. Casuals love watching them play.

The "Chef Curry" tag also got mainstream love and interest.
