In midtown, the new Stadium Grill at Bowlmor Lanes is your best pick.  Great food, lots of TVs, nicely furnished.

Here's a link from a recent rundown of all the NY Sports Bars from NY Magazine to consider other options.

Sorry, but I hope the Lakers go down quickly.

Mickey Mantle's on central park south in a nice place to watch a game.

There is The Village Pourhouse at 64 3rd Ave, or one of my favs (possibly not the best in the city though) is Finnertys at 221 2nd Ave.

good sports bar  in the city is either shortys cheesesteak bar on 9th ave and 42nd st or
blue ruin on 9th ave and 40th.good sports like atmosphere and good food.
a good friend mine is a huge dallas maverick fan and just would love for his team to be the ones to knock off the lakers.lol
