NBA Finals ratings down 20%!
« on: June 13, 2007, 09:40:09 AM »
Despite King James making it to the Finals..

The Spurs are to blame. They are fucking boring an nobody gives a flying fuck about them.

I was glued to the tv last year as D-Wade dominated the Mavs, but I can't bear to watch this year's garbage(Spurs).

Yeah, i could give two fucks about this series.  the warrior were more fun to watch than either of these teams by a long shot.  the warriors are what the NBA needs, not the boring spurs and boring cavs.

I'm watching.  The Spurs are great.  Much better than the Miami Heat with D-Whistle.  (Miami was the worst NBA champion I've ever seen.)  The problem isn't the Spurs, it's the Cavs, who stink.

It's not that they're boring, it's that the entire playoffs were rigged.

Who wants to watch that?

yes, they rigged it so the spurs would win. one of the smallest market teams in the league, with no big media icons. your reasoning is incredible. why dont you stick to paying heavily muscled women to put you in a headlock you little schmoe

Stern loves Tim Duncan. 

Bowen reaches out and deliberately pushes James on the final play of the game last night, yet no foul was called. 

If the Spurs are so great, why do they need to play dirty?  You can shout all you want, but that's not a brand of basketball that I am going to respect, Duncan, Parker, and Manu notwithstanding.

Duncan is the best big man in the game.  Great on and off the court.  College graduate.  Why wouldn't Stern love him?     

Yes Bowen fouled LeBron, but that didn't determine the outcome of the game.  Even LeBron said that the foul didn't interfere with his shot.  I don't think it was in the act of shooting anyway. 

The Spurs are not a dirty team.  How many flagrant fouls have been called in this series?  They are simply beating the Cavs like a drum because are head and shoulders a better team.

The Spurs have more talent, so why is it necessary to help them at all?   

And yeah, their dirty play has already been exposed this post-season, which is why I have no interest in watching the Finals.  Didn't watch the WCF either, because of them.

Agreed.

But maybe he is a myopic Laker fan. Then he could be that stupid.

The NBA has sucked since the early 90's. Bring back Bird, Magic and the Lakers, Celtic rivalry of the 80's. All those teams would have cleaned house of any team today and any of the Bulls teams. Those teams were DEEP. Stacked 1 thru 11.

Don't tell Scottie Pippen that. I think he is the only guy on planet earth who really believes that the Bulls team of '96 would have beaten any of the Celtic or Laker teams of the 80's. Even the Bad Boys would have smashed that '96 team in 5 or 6 games IMO. The '89 Piston team is probably the most underrated team in NBA history, they were incredible.

It was boring because everyone I talked to agreed it was either gonna go 4-1 or a sweep (sweep is what i thought) with the Spurs winning. The cavs really weren't that great and had no chance, the Suns or Mavs would have also dominated the Cavs (I liked Golden State too). The east was really weak but the Pistons would have been a much bigger Challenge for the spurs.

I don't think he should be in the position of apologizing or should be speaking like he did in the press conference. To much was said.

Even a few years back I was stoked over the Kings v Lakers rivalry.. And the Nets' run to the finals twice. Now I could care less..
