if Toronto makes it out of the East to face the Warriors in The Finals since their face of the franchise and best player is a fairly boring dude off the court and I'm not too sure how much Kawhii resonates on his own in terms of stardom among folks that don't mess to heavily with basketball. Among the other presumed top teams in the East (Boston, Philly, Milwaukee), I don't think a huge drop off in ratings will occur since their marquee players are recognizable enough for folks to have interest in the Finals.
