#Warriors vs #Kings Game 7 on ABC drew the largest audience for an #NBAPlayoffs 1st round game in 24 years, since 1999, (Nielsen).

Game 7 averaged 9,835,000 viewers, peaking w/ 11,929,000 viewers at 6PM.

It was the most-watched first round ever on Disney platforms.

The NBA Playoffs are cooking TV-wise:
- TNT has its most-watched 1st round of Playoffs since 2018.
- TNT games averaged 3.5M viewers, up 6%.
- Warriors vs King was most-watched Game 5 on any network since 2014.
- NBA TV's Heat vs Bucks most-watched playoff game since 2014.


Why do we care? The better the ratings and the more playoff games that are played the more likely the salary cap and tax line will get bumped up above the projections.

First time every seed 1-8 has made it to the second round.

Thought viewers would tune off because of wokeness, I guess not? Go woke go broke don’t happen in sports, not for long term

There needs to be a $9.99 a month subscription service.

With your subscription the games should be able to be viewed from any location (no blackout areas) and be on a user friendly platform.

Simple. Gayle make it happen.

Mostly east/west coast big market teams left. The NBA is loving this.

That’s unfortunate. Basketball in my view is the greatest team sport there and the nba playoffs are phenomenal.

We want GSW/LAL to go 7 games with multiple overtimes

We want the Knicks in the Finals

I'll only peek at games that are on TV in a restaurant where I'm dining... other than that I've seen nothing

So, a combination of some of the usual suspects and a couple of fresher or smaller market teams is the ticket?
