Has anyone seen the article on SI.com??

"Let's face it, if you aren't living in San Antonio and weren't one of the thousands of Spurs fans donning face paint and packing the SBC Center Thursday night, you may not like them either. They're annoying."

Man... is this type of press better than no press at all?

Try posting the entire article before getting these Spurs fans in a bitch fit. ;)

"With apologies to the orbiting Ron Artest, Bowen is the best on-the-ball defender in the league. He's quick, he's fast and his hands are in constant motion. More important, Bowen is smart. How many times have you heard what a cheap shot artist Bowen is, or how his style is more suited for playing with pads than in shorts? And that's what Bowen wants you to think because that's when he has you. "I'm in your head," Bowen must think. "You're thinking about me when you dribble. You're thinking about me when you shoot. Complain all you want. I'll laugh my way all the way to another diamond ring."

Seriously, how many players could average 0.0 points in a seven-game series and still warrant consideration for Finals MVP?

History will invariably remember the Spurs as a boring bunch. Hell, you could move the team to Negril, hire dancing girls and make cliff jumping part of the halftime show and you would still struggle to find an audience. History will remember that. But history will also remember what the Spurs have done. It's what they have done all along. Win."

Yeah, he calls them boring, but that's just his opinion. The rest is alright.

ESPN 103.3 in Dallas is running a spot for their idiot talk show host Randy Galloway in which he runs on about how bad Game 1 was. It is hilarious! Dude is one bitter broken Mavs fan.

Aren't they all? They're in a fit because they've never been able to be the best Texas team. (They already think their city is another LA) :lol

I think most NBA fans are pulling for the Spurs in this series...It was the opening ceremonies that people had a problem with....

Will Smith getting Jiggy With It At the Alamodome? I wonder if they considered their audience on that one... :lol

Close to 11 milliion households watched game 1 in the U.S. That may be down compared to last year but it's better than the averaged 7 million who watched in 2003. But lets face it since MJ left the ratings will never be the same.
