I really don't get why having Queen James in the finals is good for the NBA. I mean out side Miami and collage students(which shows how much our education is in the toilet) no one really likes him, most hate him.
You see the road games and how many C's jerseys are in the stands, and its crazy how many fans are a cross the US. Look at the Atlanta series, half the crowd was for the C's. Wouldn't that spell more ratings?
Not only that, it would help set what was wrong with the NBA(out side the officials) of players wanting to play with their besties and trying to cruse threw a championship. It would keep more of the big names spread out, which means a more competitive league, which means better ratings.
I think 3 out of the 4 teams that were in the conference finals were classic teams and organizations. They got there players threw drafts and trades on the most part. And those 3 teams play a classic game were D is just as important as Offense.
Now if Sterns gets his way and gets the refs to give two more wins to Miami(the only way I can deal with loosing to Queen James) I hope the Thunder wipe the floor with them. I think they can considering they just beat who I thought was the best team coming into the conference finals out of the four.
