I know, right?
Seriously, La v. Bos is better for the league than La v. DET. The league has been promoting the Boston Three Party all year. The want their return on the investment, not to mention Kobe's run for the MVP (the MVP should have gone to CP3, IMO). As well, La v. Det is better than San Antonio v. [insert team name here]. Stearn was praying that San Antonio did not make it back this year. San antonio is fundamentally sound, but not exciting to watch.
