The Celtics win their 17th NBA Title. Paul Pierce named MVP of the NBA Finals. Quote:
From USA Today For ABC, this classic series is a fortunate event. Sometimes, you hide giddiness. 'We did not allow ourselves to root publicly,' said John Skipper, ABC/ESPN executive vice president/content, when asked during a recent conference call if he had been pulling for a made-for-TV Boston Celtics-Los Angeles Lakers NBA Finals on ABC. 'That's the extent of my comment.' But it's fair to say he and his colleagues now also believe in miracles. ABC suffered through the lowest-rated NBA Finals last year, averaging 6.2% of U.S. TV households a game. That wasn't necessarily some grand verdict on the NBA's appeal: The low rating resulted partly from the San Antonio Spurs shutting down LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers in a four-game sweep a ratings killer given that viewership, in any sport with postseason series, usually increases the longer any series lasts. Now all ABC needs is a long series, preferably with games going into overtime periods when ratings also usually spike. Otherwise, ABC couldn't ask for more. The Lakers' Kobe Bryant is probably the NBA's best-known star and always-courtside Jack Nicholson is its best-known fan. Throw in that the Lakers play in the USA's No. 2 TV market and Boston is No. 7. Then there's the series' big selling point: It will let baby boomers marinate in the resurrection of the once-famous rivalry that will let them reminisce about their youth. Plus they can tell today's youngsters about the great stars of the good old days, and today's youth presumably will have to play along if those baby boomers are paying for the game-time snacks. The NBA, always savvy about trying to hype its heritage, is ready to help. Consider the choices for who will perform the national anthem: James Taylor for Game 1 and the Boston Pops for Game 2 maybe Simon and Garfunkel could reunite if there's a Game 7. But for all the feeling that a Celtics-Lakers Finals seems historic even before it tips off, ABC's on-air team doesn't exude TV stardom. While many big-time events have come with big-time narrators on TV think John Madden, Keith Jackson, Pat Summerall, Al Michaels, Johnny Miller or Bob Costas ABC's on-air team won't overshadow the games. Mike Breen, a longtime New York Knicks announcer, replaced Al Michaels after ABC/ESPN famously let Michaels go to NBC's NFL coverage in a deal that let Disney reclaim rights to an old Disney cartoon character. The analysts in a three-man booth Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy seem closer to the game itself than to the TV business. Jackson was recently in the running to coach the New York Knicks 'I'm over a lot of things in my life,' he says about not getting the job, 'and I'm having the time of my life' and Van Gundy has had a meteoric TV rise. Announcers, unless they're enormously famous in their sports, often have to work their way up the TV ranks. But Van Gundy albeit having already been a TNT analyst last year joined ABC/ESPN's top-game TV team the day he was fired as Houston Rockets coach. Still, the trio has an on-air advantage that's rare in broadcast booths they've known each other for years. And they say they like each other. Van Gundy recalls being a young assistant coach with the Knicks and that their two best players Jackson and Patrick Ewing 'gave me respect before I ever deserved it.' And Van Gundy offers refreshingly off-beat, albeit sometimes odd, on-air comments that you wouldn't hear from more cautious brand-name TV announcers. Says Van Gundy: 'I'm such a novice, I just say what I think. And if you listen to my cockamamie ideas, you see there's no thought to it.' Says Jackson: 'I actually thought he was funnier when he was coaching. And I would vouch for what he's saying that he doesn't think about what he says it just comes out of his mouth.' Sometimes, you get lucky.

LA walked all over Denver in the 1st, beat an excellent Utah team in the 2nd in 6, and made the defending champion Spurs look like a JV HS team. Yeah, the Celtics are beating the Lakers lollllllllll. I'm thinking LA in 6, but I wouldn't be shocked if it ended in 5. Kobe will get his 4th ring and a series MVP trophy.

That all sounds good but what happened in the early rounds go out the window! It's all about matchups, and other than Kobe and the center position the Celtics match up well. I see a 7 game series with the Celts winning at home

ABC's 720p seems very blotchy looking. is it just TWC Brooklyn/Queens, is it ABC in general? It shouldn't be my TV, I've got a 1080p LG.

That's a pretty big 'other than.' I would prefer to see KG get his first ring, but I really think it'll be Lakers in 6. As a Laker-hater, it pains me to say that.

Maybe he was at Fenway. Looks like the abc bug isn't transparent.

WABC-DT I just don't like having the score bar at the bottom of the screen plus there is to much space under it it needs to be lowered. Do we need that second annoying bar to pop above every 4min to tell us we are watching Game 1 of the NBA finals? Just about everyone watching has a TV guide built into their dish or cable box telling them what the event is on now. I'm getting artifacting on the abc logo.

This does not look good to me at all. Not particularly sharp, and frankly it just looks 'off'. Cablevision in NJ.

Also, poor, poor design. As said, score bar towards bottom but not even at bottom, and black non-transparent ABC logo. Just o.k PQ via D* in Allentown, PA. Not much digital noise at all which is very nice, but the image is very soft almost unfocused looking. Edit: Also getting tons of audio drops.

The score bug is positioned for if/when they use the ESPN on ABC BottomLine.. I hate the thought of them using a ticker using the finals.. I've come to accept it during earlier series.

Watching WEWS-DT, Cleveland OTA (no subchannels) on a 50' 1080p plasma. Main center court cam doesn't look sharp, seeing a lot of artifacts, when flashbulb goes off the picture breaks up. Closeups look ok, but not 'stunning' HD quality. They could switch this to 480p and nobody would know the difference. Overall this is better PQ than the NBA playoffs on ESPN via D* MPEG2. Those games were really lousy looking.

ESPN and ABC do not use tickers during NBA games full time. Only periodic updates every half hour or so. THERE was no full time ticker during any ESPN NBA playoff game this year, the only exception being a ticker being put in if the game ran into Sportscenters time slot.

Audio drop-outs on WCVB Boston - Comcast HD. Only during the live game, not happening on commercials, so it seems it is originating in the production truck at the site. Kind of unacceptable for such a high profile broadcast.

Anyone else receiving periodic audio dropouts during the game? Is it the Garden or is it ABC that is causing the view to be so terrible. The cameras are so far from the court that it appears you are getting the view of a fan in the last row of the stadium. I haven't seen this perspective ever on TNT.
