Yay
Nay
I'm boycotting the NBA Finals. The NBA is all about money, so if we all turn off our TVs the NBA might lose money. This Finals is a sham and a scam. Who's with me?
Eh, if you find the right kind of lemons, they won't be so sour.
I'll say yay, but it's not like it will make a damn bit of difference. I'll probably catch a couple of games though, until I see disgusting HCA calls in favor of Kobe in game 3.
Ridiculous.
This NBA Finals will probably generate the most attention (money) than any finals since MJ. The general public is stupid enough to eat whatever the media throws at it
You mean the that was good enough to wipe the floor with your world champs in only five short games? That ?
I vote yay because I don't watch the Finals unless the Spurs play or unless there is a team that I really want to win (2004 Pistons over Lakers)
I didn't call the Lakers , nor did I call the Celtics . I'm talking about the general hype surrounding the Finals. It seems like overhyped matchups are always due for disappointments.You mean the that was good enough to wipe the floor with your world champs in only five short games? That ?
Great, solid take btw.

This hype associated with the Lakers and Celtics for this finals matchup is no way in shape or form like the 80's Celtics/Lakers rivarly, it can't even hold it's jock strap.
Unless you have a Nielsen diary or box, your TV viewing habits are not measured.
So true... everyone at my job who knew about basketball the entire season seems to be stoked about this....
As for myself I wont be watching... could care less who wins.
wow, this thread is pathetic. i think i'll be boycotting your posts.
Are you sure? I thought the digital cable box tracked what you watch.
Only top secretly.
Make it consistent and boycott the Spurs next year as well. If you think the NBA is rigged, then don't watch it, period. You take whining to a whole nother level.
I think you're missing the point behind Supergirl's proposal of a boycott.
What? What is the point? That 10 people from SpursTalk not watching the finals is going to make a difference?
There are going to be hundreds of thousands of girls who just realized the Lakers played again watching, on top of all of NE.
This finals is a dream come true (or a plan that was actualized) for the league, and a SpursTalk boycott is not going to matter.
I don't generally watch basketball after the Spurs' season is over. Especially if it's the Lakers in the Finals.
Why would I want to watch that?
Nah, I watch the Finals every year regardless of who is playing
It's all about marketing. If millions of people actually got together in an organized fashion and turned off their television, all the advertising money poured down the Lakers, um, the NBA's throats would be wasted. And THAT would have an impact on the NBA.
But you're right - if it's only 10 people from Spurstalk who boycott, it won't have an impact. And judging by the way the the voting seems to be going, people are just sheep who will watch whatever our televisions give us, regardless of whether it has any meaning or substance. Welcome to America.
Yeah you should stick to the wnba instead.
So because people want to watch 2 very good basketball teams play each other, they are sheep? What a stupid statement. I agree that a lot of people watch dumb shows, but as a basketball fan I am very excited to watch the nba finals, even though the hornets are not in it. If you were a basketball fan, you would feel the same way.
I disagree with the premise of the OP. I submit four NBA championship trophies as evidence.
2 international superstars
