the most voted for president in american history.oh . The SMALLEST margin of victory for a sitting president in decades.
A majority of the vote something Bill Clinton never had.
blah blah blah.
Who gives a , Spurs win, keep hangin them banners, Ill take all the boring, low rated banner hangings they can give me.
See, dammit, this is why we HAVE to win this year because theres no ing way that ass Stern lets the spurs get to 2 finals in a row
if we blow it this year we're fuuuucked
Here's an idea:
PROMOTE THE PLAYERS FROM THE WINNING/CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS.
Magic was a winner. Isaiah was a winner. MJ was a winner. WTF has KG, VC, or any of the other assclowns that the NBA pimps ever won? This is a problem of their own creation. Stop promoting children who haven't accomplished anything.
exstatic
they do not have enough money to do that though
'they cna not hire someone with what they call a brain
U took the words right outta my mouth..... ! IF !
Exstatic that would be too good to be true.
Actually i dont know how i'd react if people actually took to the spurs. I'm in dallas right now wearing my White Spurs 2003 Championship Jersey and i've already had 2 comments. I was paying for gas at the station and this one dude was like your money is no good here and i was like cool i dont feel like paying for your ty gas either
watched every second--we had 25-30 ppl on one tv...take that into consideration tv rating assholes.
Good point. I'm sure other fans from differnet teams in the past NEVER watched more than one or two at a time since there all incoherent, ignorant, redneck, inbred, gap toothed, non-basketball IQ type re s.

See, i wish that's how it was all over. If you came during the superbowl in which the packers were playing and did this in MN you'd get worse treatment. If instead of the Pacers it was the wolves involved in that melee and you came in MN causing a scene it would be way too polite. Its sad that there isn't a team close enough nor have we been here much since the expansion to have rivalries like that.
Damn, rack exstatic....
If the league had a single ing brain between all the idiots at the league office they'd start promoting Manu as their international superstar of choice, instead of constantly cramming scrubs like Yao down everyone's throats when the guy is never going to win jack .
Manu=Center????..."Spurs center Manu Ginobili, who was good enough to lead Argentina past the United States for the Olympic Gold Medal in 2004, isn't even on the radar on year-to-date sales."...
A knicks/celtics vs lakers finals will always blow away a pistons vs. spurs finals. That being said, I don't see a day where the ratings get a whole lot better from year to year.
I talk to alot of sports fans and asked if they watched the nba finals last nite. They all said no because they can't stand the reffing. The 5 guys I talked to love college basketball but can't stand how the nba is officitated. They don't like all the non traveling calls, preferential treatment to star players.
I don't like those things either but I try to deal with it since I love the game of basketball. There are so many things for the casual fan that might have tuned in 10 years ago to do. You can play video games, go on the internet, or watch your favorite show on one of the bazillions of channels.
The nba needs to take a page from the nfl and promote team instead of young talent that haven't won anything. They also need to unguaranteed salaries. That way if you're like the knicks you can cut an overpaid uneffective player.
I think SA fans need a reality check. Your city is the 8th or 9th, depending what stats you use, largest city in america. So much for that small market bull . Minneapolis, and yes, Miami, barely crack the top 50.
Last year's Lakers lost in the Finals to the Pistons, but fell short of the playoffs this year. As a result, D-Clarence Rey-nolds, a Detroit shop owner, said he'll only watch a few games because they normally don't meet the standards of years past.
"You have these millionaires acting like children," he said. "They need to get back to real basketball."
GODDAMN people can be ing stupid. This jerkoff from the Detroit area complains about spoiled players and needing to get back to real basketball, but he's not going to watch the Spurs-Pistons finals? The two teams that are polar opposites of what he's complaining about?
How many times has Larry Brown used the phrase "Playing the right way"? Christ, I'm sick of it and I don't even live in the same state. How can this guy live in Detriot and have no clue what his team is all about?
No one I know has EVER had a neilson machine in there home...
A few old ladies up north with the neilson box never impressed me as being accurate.
You need a reality check. The San Antonio metro area ranks 29 in the nation in population.
Minneapolis-St. Paul: 15
Miami: 12
It gets even better.
As a television market, Minny-St. Paul is #14
Miami #17
San Antonio #37
Would you say the Greenville, NC and Kalamazoo, Mich areas are small TV markets?
San Antonio is between those two.
Rumor has it some of the blame should be taken by ABC with it's poor decision to have Al Michaels call the game. I guarantee you the rating would go up if Sean Elliot, Charles Barkley and Steve Kerr were calling the game.
i think the awards were on MTV during the game, i was switching to it during every timeout or commercial.
There's a difference between population within the city limits (Where that 8th ranking comes from) and market size (similar in size to the metro area), which is a measure of the number of people in the primary city itself plus all the suburbs, satellite towns, and people living in unincorporated areas nearby. Basically, the total number of people served by one set of television affiliates.
It helps with the talking smack part of this gig if you know what the you're talking about.
I know that the the "metro" are in MPS/st paul is highly spread out, i also know that San antonio basically has only one game in town so theres no dillution of fans. I'm sure the twins and vikes are great but i could care less about them.
Last i checked the drive from Ham lake to Mall of America gets to be a UVA long drive even though its in the area.
Know what the YOUR talking about.
Let me know how this is relevant to TV market size.I know that the the "metro" are in MPS/st paul is highly spread out, i also know that San antonio basically has only one game in town so theres no dillution of fans.
FWIW, did you know that the Timberwolves fan base and Denver nuggets fan base intersect somewhere around Rapid City SD?
If no one comes to the games, which they havn't been even in last years late runs and playoff interest, why would anyone care if the watch it on tv.
The twins are having record years in TV audience yet the domes damn near empty.
This discussion has more to do with the constant commetns about how its hard for a small market team to compete in this league than the NBA finals rating. Why is it hard? Your city is basically held hostage by no other distractions, you have a HUGE population CENTERED right in the city itself.
No excuses for that.
Good point on Al Michaels, he is a great football guy. But he is not cut to do NBA games, I remember the old CBS days when Stockton did the games.
I think maybe Musburger or Nessler should do the ABC games he gets more exicited about the game than Michaels ever does.
I feel I am watching a golf game when Al calls the game.
The problem is the best player in the league isn't marketed at all.
Tim Duncan.
Spurs need to throw out some new jerseys or something.
