Premium Member Diesel Posted October 20, 2021 Premium Member Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Last year... Hawks win game 1 against Milwaukee in the Eastern Conference Finals... Biggest scare in NBA history. When we beat Philadelphia, we were not a team that the league had highlighted. We had maybe one national game last season. To see us in the finals would be a ratings killer because we were so unknown. They have rushed to give us more National games this season... But overall... they still would love to see: Philly/Brooklyn or Miami/Brooklyn in the ECF LAC/LAL or DAL/LAL in the WCF... and LAL vs. Brooklyn in the Finals. Last night, Milwaukee Murdered Brooklyn. Who got the most press this morning? Last night, Golden State Murdered the Lakers. Who got the most press this morning? The League wants who it wants. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlanta is the 7th largest TV market and the Hawks had some of the highest rated playoff games last season. That had to do with playing the #1 and #4 TV markets too. The Hawks are trending number one on a lot of league pass rankings I've seen. The league doesn't care about who's in the finals. The networks paying the league does. If the Hawks continue to win with their play style, they are going to get a ton more attention. Let's not forget Golden State was an after thought until the splash brothers came along and they started dominating.

The League cares about what the Network cares about. The league and the Network are cojoined like that. When LAC lost in the Bubble, you saw a river of tears coming from the League offices. When we beat Philly... River of Tears. Sure we were well watched.. but how many people would have tuned in to see us play Phoenix in the finals? Trae is going to get a monster push so that Just in case he is able to elevate us to the finals.. he's already a superstar according to the networks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
