212. Eastern Finals Begin! (Seeking votes with a 10,000-word plea)_2

Even the melancholic Herrmann, was described as looking effeminate...

The Charlotte Bobcats had been demonized by those in the 'royalist' camp, and most American fans had already accepted this narrative.

On the Pistons' side, even after they played an attractive, integrated offense and defense style last season resulting in 64 wins, it could not change the fans' entrenched perceptions, which was similar for the Bobcats.

However, the viewership for the game between the Bobcats and the Pistons was very high, completely on par with last year's series between the Miami Heat and the Pistons! As soon as the game started, the pay-per-view numbers had already surpassed 15 million.

While the Jazz Team has the highest championship support, the live pay-per-view reservations and ticket sales for out-of-town fans for the game between the Spurs and Jazz Team were far from ideal.
