Ratings Disaster Averted
NBC must be very pleased that the Lakers pulled out a tough one against Sacramento, to take the Western Conference Finals to Game 7. With New Jersey beating the Celtics, NBC had to be cringing at the thought of a Sacramento/New Jersey Final. It may still happen, and it would probably be some good basketball, but who would watch?
Lakers-Celtics would have been fun for the sake of nostalgia, but I'll take Lakers/Nets.
We'll see.
