Basketball Bussiness


According to forbes last season was a rousing success for the National Basketball Association. The league's two marquee teams, the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, met in the finals, and television ratings soared 51% over the prior year. The league's two biggest stars, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, were on winning teams and getting a lot of prime-time exposure, wowing fans and sponsors. I think televesion ratings will soar over 51% if the finals reach up to 7 games and it will be exciting if it is a close game. This 08-09 season will be another year of exciting games, because teams are start to catch up for each other, in the EAST the measuring stick of boston will be the CLEVELAND CAVALIERS and the uprising ORLANDO MAGIC. ATLANTA HAWKS are on the radar with their stellar perfomance last year bringing BOSTON to 7 games. DETROIT PISTONS are climbing the standings quietly with 7 straight wins despite the injuries to Rasheed Wallace and Richard Hamilton. As for the WEST still LAKERS, SPURS, SUNS, DALLAS and UTAH and probably HOUSTON if healthy TMAC emerge, remains to be seen. Sorry there will be no upset in the WEST because there is no WARRIORS in this years playoffs. But i am looking forward for the DENVER NUGGETS can either upset the SUNS or HOUSTON in the playoffs, but still it remains to be seen, lets see how CHAUNCY BILLUPS carry to team to passing the first round of the playoffs.
