    One of the re-occuring themes on this website is Detroit and San Antonio fans panicking about the idea of a Dallas/Miami NBA Finals. Many have claimed that they would not watch the series, and that the matchup represents some sort of worst-case scenario for their perception of championship basketball.

    This talk is very amusing to me. I feel that it is entirely appropriate, given that the San Antonio/Detroit matchup of last year, the wet dream of Spurstalk.com, represented a "perfect storm" of unwatchability for the rest of America at large, as ratings plummetted to record lows and Americans turned away in droves.

    This year, with Miami and Dallas seemingly on a collision course, a Miami/Dallas matchup would pretty much guarantee the NBA its first ratings increase of the post-Jordan era.

    During last years finals, only the cities of Detroit and SA paid attention. This year if things play out as they appear, only SA and Detroit won't pay attention.

    Dallas is a "small market" like San Antonio.

    That would not make the ratings go up.

    If Boston/LA couldn't make the ratings go up, nothing can.

    If the 5th largest market in the country is small to you then your right.

    Did you see the point right after it? Compared to LA etc, Dallas is a small market. If LA/Boston couldn't raise the finals ratings, no matchup can.

    At age 15 (almost 16) lifting weights causes decreased height, so I don't do that anymore. I do run though. As far as food it's okay to eat what you like as long as you have the metabolism to handle it without significantly gaining weight. I love guns and I'll get one for sure once I can. I get flu vaccines because I don't want to get really, really sick like I did 2 years ago when I got the flu. It's never worth it to get incredibly sick and risk pneumonia, it's better to take advantage of what the jews give us rather than boycott it.

    again, i wasn't disagreeing with your opinion on this issue. you and I happen to agree that clinton's foreign policy record is immenently superior to Bush's atrocious one.

    even though your viewpoint is easily justifiable, my point was that you still didn't make any good points in promoting your view.

    look at that "i would say clinton was the best president of my lifetime" post. It is typical of your posts in that it is free of substance.

    No, it isn't true. The pentatonic scales which it uses were invented by Aryans. Guitars, bass guitars, drums and keyboards are Aryan inventions. Rock music, and by extension punk, metal, goth, etc, is an extension of the European folk music tradition.

    Do you know where Negroids got their "blues" and "gospel" from? Listening to Europeans and trying to copy them unsuccessfully.

    Market size is irrelevant in determining if viewers will watch a game or not. If the Knicks and Clippers were in the finals guess what. No one would watch that .

    Yes, i've been through that before. But the students at my school refered to me as gothic, not emo. , i'm the only emo there. They started calling me gothic or got in seventh grade, and only a few knew my real name because the teachers always called me by my last name. They were just too imersed in their own world to even realize that i had feelings, too. All the kids up there are stupid, most of them don't even know what emo is. In eighth grade, they started throwing rocks and heavy books at me. alot of them i dodged, though. One girl decided that she wanted to throw a math book @ me, but later on that day, she was the one with the busted head. Now only the boys like to fight me, and they always like to gang up on me and knee me in the stomach. That's cheating, and it's not right.
