RealGM:ESPN.com - Ratings for the first two games of the the NBA finals between Miami and Dallas were up 13 percent for ABC in comparison to last year's championship series with San Antonio and Detroit.
The second game of the series on Sunday night, which Dallas won 99-85, drew an average rating of 8.0 -- a 17 percent increase from 2005.
Not surprised, last year's finals didn't have as much action since both teams were known for playing half court and a ton of defense. Here you have two teams that can run up and down the court and there are more popular players (Wade, Shaq, Dirk, Terry, GP, Williams, Walker, Howard etc)
