This isnt about if the Lakers can keep up with the Heat, its about the LA market that will give the NBA the good ratings.
But if the NBA was smart, the bigger matchup would be Lakers vs Rockets. Do you know how much drama there would be leading up to that game with Howard returning?
There isnt a matchup that would top it
This is why the Dallas Cowboys, despite just one playoff win in 17 years, get the most prime time marquee games of anyone.
Because more people watch the Cowboys, no matter if they are good or shitty.
Dress the entire Charlotte Bobcats or Hornets or whatever they are called in Laker uniforms ....
and people will watch.
