You have to at least do better than the Cavs.

The Cavs were able to keep it a 7 point game. And it was a one possession game in the final minute.

The WNBA is all about the game of basketball. No overblown hype, no despicable personalities, no outrageous amounts of money, no mugging halftime analysts, and no poisonous animosities. Just the finesse and effort of basketball. If that isn't interesting to people, then people just aren't interested in basketball.
