Likely because it was none of the “usual” teams made it to the final round. No; Chicago, LA, New York, Miami, Detroit or Cleveland for a change may have been good for the NBA.
Maybe that will squelch the “small market” comments from now on. They were getting a bit stale, and it was refreshing to see fresh faces in the finals rather than the teams that always seem to rise to the top. I hope that trend continues…..
It was a special run, even if it didn’t ultimately go our way. I’ve lived in Indy for 25 years now and I’ve never seen the city rally like it had this time around. Hope Haliburton gets the rest and PT he has earned.
If they would hire new announcers, ratings would go up even more. The television folks who think all news and sports expertise resides on the coasts and big name outfits are so tiresome.
I’m glad people finally realized that this was a compelling and well played series by two excellent and well coached teams. I really believe that the low ratings were the result of an extremely poor pregame, halftime, and post game studio show. The play-by-play commentating was almost as bad. ESPN/ABC need to do better. The quality of their production is abysmal and embarrassing for the league.
