    ABC Will Commit Suicide......

    .....if there is a Hawks-Grizzlies final. After the Hawks win tonight, it could be a reality with the way the playoffs are going this year.

    Are you kidding me??? The Grizz arent even the most athletic team in their series!!! Have you seen Westbrook or Ibaka play??

    Try and convince yourself that Joe Johnson and Josh Smith are more athletic than Lebron and Wade.

    David Stern will step in for game 7 to make sure the Thunder and Bulls advance. He may not have to, they are the better teams anyway.

    Teague and Smith are more athletic than Lebron and Wade yes, and they do not have guys like Z and Bibby and Jones who are not athletic.

    Grizz/Hawks final has about a 1% chance of happening if that.

    Did u guys forget about Dallas already? They're playing better than anyone in the playoffs right now. ATL and MEM can but won't be in the finals.

    Would be nice to see the Bulls in the Finals again. I was a high school senior when seeing Jordan's final championship win.

    I think the grizzlies have a legitimate shot at making the finals. I don't see the Hawks winning their series though, and even then beating the heat

    ABC is already in trouble with the Western winner - you know they were counting on LA being there. Dallas, OKC, or the Griz are not big draws. Their best hope now is for the Heat to make it. They can plug the Big 3 forever...

    yeah its to bad LA lost, the finals are going to turn into a real low rating affair the only team remaining worth watching is the Heat and whoever comes out of the West will be boring.

    Low ratings finals

    Only die hard NBA fans and locals will watch the finals if the Heat and Celtics get eliminated. Personally, I'd love to see the Thunder vs Bulls, but even that matchup probably won't generate half as much revenue as last years finals. It will basically be the NBA's version of this years NCAA tourney.

    The other matchups aren't bad.

    Miami, Boston, Chicago all attractive to some degree.

    Oklahoma City is the hot young team with the superstars.

    Dallas is ok.

    Both teams are lame and lack excitement. I cant recall the last time Atlanta ever made an epic comeback or had a game with a shoot-out. Or play an exciting overtime game. The grizz will pound the ball to Randolph, beacuse horford sucks at D. Should be pretty boring beacuse both teams lack big time flashy players. Also no emotion like a Celts-heat series or Dallas-Lakers today.
