No doubt the Finals ratings are great, it's a 1 week a year sport and that's the one week. The rest of the year the ratings aren't good in fact they are way down. Down some 14% for 27 of 30 teams in the league on the local front and the national ratings (TNT/ESPN) are down as well. When you have killed the regular season off and the playoffs (minus the Finals) nobody wants to watch the games as everyone knows the outcomes are meaningless!!

Players taking less money does NOT help the rest of the players that is a silly myth. When the next CBA is up you will see how the owners will have their way and mop the floor with the union over this. Less for the top players does not mean more for everyone else in the long-run it will mean less for everyone in the long-run. The sport is dying slowly and all of the warning signs are there.
