I'm a college hoops fan, but do follow the NBA during the season. While I pay attention, I really just watch Bucks games and then normally just the 2nd half of games.
When the playoffs hit, like many other basketball fans that are not hard core NBA fans, I watch NBA games. I've enjoyed watching the Cavs and Lebron. Curry and at times small ball out in Golden State, etc.
So now the finals are set with league MVP Curry and the best player in the world Lebron set to do battle for the title. Great, I look forward to watching, and what does the NBA do? They say you can wait more than a week for us to get this thing going. Really? Do we need 8 days before starting the series on June 4th?
I think the NBA and TV could lose the momentum here and allow fans to get used to not having basketball and move on. I'm probably wrong as the TV folks have more information and know what they are doing. I hope I remember to tune in a week from now (ha).
