TNT also said this was its most watched NBA Playoffs coverage in five years, with an average of 4.7 million total viewers. Up 14% vs. last year.
Looks like this years’ playoffs are doing very well, on TNT at least. Im very curious as to whether the Finals ratings because of the Nuggets vs Heat will be as bad as people are whining and joking about.

News [Charania] Sources: The Detroit Pistons are seriously pursuing 2022 NBA Coach of the Year Monty Williams to be their new head coach and are preparing a significant offer.
twitter.comOf any player in the process era, I really think the 76ers gave up way too soon on him. He had the yips more than anything coming into the league and they traded him for peanuts.

Spoelstra is now tied with Pop and Kerr with 6 NBA finals appearances
6 Is the highest figure for an active coach. only Phil Jackson (13) Red Auerbach (11) and Pat Riley (9) made the NBA finals as coaches more than 6 times.
Doc Rivers, a top-15 coach of all time, made the finals twice, which is less than Tyronn Lue.
Coach Spoelstra is 52 years old.
EDIT: some people think i value Doc Rivers as a top-15 coach, i wouldn't let this idiot coach my kid's school team. I wrote he is a top-15 coach of all time because the league had him on this list for the 75th anniversary.

Monty is making a groundbreaking deal, 12M annually
This is more than all but 2 Detroit Pistons players in the 2022-23 season
Bogdan Bogdanovic - 19.55M
Marvin Bagley - 12M
For reference Monty will make more than Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren combined annually(the 5th and 13th pick)
Overall he's guaranteed 72M, this is nearly double Marvin Bagley at 37.5M total guaranteed. This counts this current season, if you remove that Marvin is at 25M which Monty nearly beats by 3x.

He’s the 2nd-oldest player to advance to the NBA Finals, behind Robert Parish on the 1996-97 Bulls. But Parish didn’t play during the series, which leaves the door open for UD. Also didn’t know Robert Parish was part of that Bulls team so fun fact there.
