Anyone know if I can listen on the radio? Sadly, I'll be traveling during the game and don't want to just have sportacular to rely on.

Game 1 of the Western Conference finals drew a 3.9 overnight rating on ABC, the lowest opener for an NBA conference final since 2007 according to Sports Media Watch.

The 3.9 is a substantial decline for last year’s conference openers: 41 percent from the 6.6 for Celtics/Heat in the East, and 32 percent from the 5.7 for Spurs/Thunder in the West.

It was also the third-lowest overnight rating of the 2013 playoffs on ABC.

It ranks as the lowest-rated conference opener in the rated markets since 2007, when Cavaliers/Pistons drew a 3.5 and Jazz/Spurs drew a 3.8.

The ratings are impacted by several factors. Not only was the Spurs’ 105-83 victory the biggest blowout in a conference finals opener since 1998, San Antonio (36th) and Memphis (49th) rank among the smallest markets in the NBA.


Better than I expected actually.

TNT & ESPN have some blame for this. Both the Spurs & Grizz were largely not talked about for the regular season. Even during the playoffs, the side stories were always featuring the other teams: Lakers, Clippers, OKC, and GSW.

I understand the pursuit of the in the moment ratings, but with the possible exception of Barkley and Jet, most of the national commentators didn't talk about them all year, nor watch a game. If they had done some marketing of these teams, they would be better off now (IMO)

I think MEMP wins by double digits tonight & makes a very intriguing game 3. You could tell that MEMP bigs were beginning to wear down SA bigs towards the end of game 1. MEMP is currently healthier than SA as well. We shall see.

I think just the opposite. I think Grizz is making a point to stay home on the perimeter and help less.

S.A. is going to attack the paint off the dribble and eat Memphis alive with the tear drops, short jumpers and last second dishes to their bigs. Diaw and Splitter are going to have a high FG%. Duncan probably as well.

Spurs by 8
