Ahh, you show your true colors. Another NBA conspiracy theorist, who believes that David Stern feels a Spurs / Piston Final would somehow be better for ratings than Suns / Cavs.
Or, maybe you feel Peter Holt has paid off the officials. Or, it goes deeper than that, and Popovich is using government connections to fix games: It goes all the way to the Top! Bush is a Spurs Fan! (hmmm, he is from Texas... but then, why did the Mavericks get eliminated in the first round? Must have been a red herring).
No, I don't watch Fox news. Funny for you to mention Art Bell... I thought the black helicopters were circling your house! I'm afraid I don't believe half of what I watch on TV. I take everything with a mountain of salt, and try to stay objective about the world at large. I certainly don't believe the Spurs (or any other NBA team) is "favored" to win by external forces.
The only thing I concede is the Spurs are better at playing in the Playoffs, because they have more experience. If anything, that should give you hope, cause trust me, I was where you are now and few years ago crying "Conspiracy!" about the Lakers.
And then I realized I was full of , and just looking for excuses of why "my" team lost.
