What is your attitude towards the finals, after this game 7?

  1. Forget the NBA. Not one more minute of watching this season.

  2. Maybe, but it's going to be a predictable series / sweep / gentleman's sweep.

    Hell no. Won’t watch a damn second of the predetermined outcome. This was the prediction to start the season. How is that entertaining

    Mostly i just wanted to start a topic that didn't involve Harden or refs. But I'm proud of the results I'm seeing.

    Only to root against the warriors. Still I will have a hard time watching basketball for a while.

    The only reason I'll watch the Finals is if the Cavs somehow end up winning, I'll watch the closeout game.

    Basically **** the Finals. GO STROS!!!!

    no point in watching the finals because i know what the result will be.

    *spoiler alert*

    the warriors will win.

    time to focus on the stros because unlike the rockets, the league is not out to get them because the fans don't like how they play.

    texans trash. ran by a racist owner [allegedly] with a head coach who is a p***y, and that plays not to lose.

    world cup should be interesting.

    Didnt watch it last year wont watch it this year. Maybe the last 30 seconds just to know who won the series and who gets finals mvp. But the whole game? Waste of time.

    Nope.

    Not watching the Warriors in the finals year after year after year. They ruined the NBA.

    The NBA has lost a diehard fan. I was never really one to let officiating ruin my enjoyment of sports, but this game was eye opening for me. I can't believe I've been so naive all along to the gambling and purely bottom-line focus of major sports, particularly the NBA. I cannot support a product that has significant incentives, (with very little checks and balances) for a certain outcome to come to fruition. Money makes the world go round. Casual fans, the main target of the NBA, and the rising growth of international interest is the main focus for the marketing execs. They know that familiar star talent and dynasties are what attract casual fans into viewership. Once they get the finals matchup that they desire, everything else is gravy for them. Whether Cleveland or the Warriors win the series is not a prerogative. Major celebrations and handshakes are going around by the Commisioner and his gang tonight. I can't knock the hussle, but I can decide to choose my time and money wisely going forward.

    Cleveland's my 2nd home so i'll be watching. Cavs don't stand a chance, but gonna watch Lebron's out-worldly play.

    Really hoping Morey, CP and Harden can convince him to come to Houston

    Our series was the Finals. No point in watching the Cavs lose.
