Silver must be praying to god finals is Knicks/Wolves

[chuckifubuck]

Knicks in the finals. Ant in the finals. They traded star players to each other so you get Randle and KAT facing off against their former teams. shyt would do crazy numbers.

Knicks/Thunder might turn ugly if the thunder just run away with it. Pacers Wolves would still have Ant but wouldn't move the needle. Thunder/Pacers would be a ratings catastrophe.

If you worried about ratings, you just a casual

We just wanna seed good hoops.

(Though I am a Knicks fan and it’s ‘fukk the Pacers’, so…)

 

[god shamgod]

I hope it’s thunder vs pacers

 

[Loose]

Where this notion that the thunder brings bad ratings come from?

 

[Brozay]

why would Silver be praying Ant makes the Finals over the league MVP? What does Minny offer over OKC?

 

[jdubnyce]

Nah
MVP in the finals >>> Ant

Best record in the league/Reg Season MVP/Finals MVP

It's Shai's league now

 

[Illuminatos]

If Randle wins a ring off the Knicks I might blow my brains out.

Maybe because Silver looks like an Ant

 

[Luke Cage]

I gotta admit, i would be disappointed if we end up with an OKC v Pacers final.
lets go knicks
lets go wolves

 

[GoldenGlove]

Minny or OKC is cool with me. I can't root for Indy or Knicks at all tho

They just got 76+ billion dollars for 11 years between Disney, Comcast, and Amazon to broadcast their games. It doesn’t matter what the Finals matchup is this season. Next season will be big for a lot of reasons, but now it’s gravy for the NBA.

 

[Reggie]

If he gets New York in the Finals i think he's good regardless of who comes out of the West. Like the op said the Wolves and Ant is a great story. But OKC finally getting one YEARS after KD and Westbrook left would be a pretty damn good story as well.

Ant yelling at Spike that he should've waited 25 years to make He Got Game about him, asking Ben Stiller if it was Helly R or Helena and telling Clyde that his fits are trash.

 

[PHamm]

As long as Knicks make the Final the ratings will be fine, regardless of who comes out of thr West.

Having said that, Pacers better get ready for some biased officiating.

-they have the most boring Star in the NBA aka the freethrow merchant with 0 marketability.
-OKC is the smallest market in the league.
