ABC

What the is wrong with you people...yes the Spurs and Pistons are playing...but the drama and excitement is all in the Lakers and Heat.
You have Shaq, a scored ex Laker taking on his nemesis Kobe, as well as his so called father figure in Phil. You have malcontents Walker and White Chocolate trying to prove their worth on a nationally televised game. You then have Wade whose amazing play is only matched by his compe ive fire....plus you have Riley coming back to coach against a team where he earned his rings. The plot points are endless and for all of those who think the basketball won't be as good you seriously don't know anything.
Those teams have some of the most exciting players the NBA has to offer, and since the NBA is entertainment, I'll watch and pass on the pistons and spur games while I eat more turkey.

Plus, 1 game doesn't mean in the grand scheme of things. I would rather take a ring over who gets top billing.

you probably a fan of Days of our Lives and like that. Go watch your soap operas and let us enjoy good basketball. Good basketball and lakers don't go together anymore BTW.

[Vashner]

We better ing win that's all I know. Because we looked like last 2 national holiday time games.

[Medvedenko]

Is Manu even playing on Sunday....they are going to lose pretty badly. Oh and I'd rather watch the Lakers when Doug Christie and Sedelle Threatt were leading the charge than watch the spurs.

[Vashner]

lakers....

[Oh, Gee!!]

How dare ABC market more heavily what they believe will be the bigger draw. I didn't realize it was all about ratings with them. My world is turned upside down. I can't go on knowing that the Spurs aren't as popular as the Lakers. oh, cruel world

[lilmads]

Heat vs Lakers is really not such a big deal... Spurs n Pistons is gonna be HUGE!
Spurs better win!!!

Is Kobe even playing on Sunday. Lakers would lose pretty badly either way.

Oh, Gee, apparently you aren't aware that the NBA Championships are not ends unto themselves, but rather tools toward the larger, much more important goal of making the Spurs popular nationwide.

Spurs fans will not be satisfied until the cool people in Los Angeles like them.

Spurs plus 5 is the bet. why do Det and Lax morons stll come here?

[ObiwanGinobili]

The average NBA fan cares more about the Shaq-Kobe soap opera than they do about who will end up in the Finals. That's a sad fact.

I actually heard a genius on the radio this morning who said he would rather have Ron Artest on his favorite team than Tim Duncan, because Artest makes every day interesting (will he explode on the court? will he kill a fan? a teammate?), and that he'd rather have that than an endless string of "boring" wins.
That's your typical NBA fan -- a moron.

oh
my
god.

I want to cry. really. that is ing pathetic.

[Shiner Bock Girl]

Miami is the hands down, odds on favorite to win the championship this year all of their games are big games

Dream on if you think your getting past Detroit....Miami is only a favorite because the media made them the favorites....The game itself will tell all.....

The truth is, pick any team in the NBA you want, and it doesn't matter. I'm hear to tell you, ladies and gentleman, that no player in the NBA can compare to Shaquille O'Neal. None. Ask any player in the NBA and they know. Now, Miami has looked sporadic at times. They have looked anemic. But with a healthy Shaquille O'Neal back in the lineup? Uh-uh. You cannot sit here and tell me your team can match up with the combination of Shaquille's domination inside and Dwyane Wade's speed on the perimeter. Reality will settle in eventually.

Quite frankly, I don't even know why you knuckleheads bother.

Do we really care what the national media or all of the USA thinks about the Spurs? As long as we fans know who is the best then it doesn't matter.

[Oh, Gee!!]

No, it's not enough until the Spurs are so awesome that people in L.A. all go around saying, "The Spurs are awesome" to each other the way you and I might say, "How's it going?"

Pistons And Spurs---2 Most Underated Championship Winning Teams In The History Of The Nba.

[Oh, Gee!!]

Pistons And Spurs---2 Most Underated Championship Winning Teams In The History Of The Nba.

so the sense of martyrdom is shared by spur and piston fans alike?

[ALVAREZ6]

I have been saying it for a while now, ABC ing blows.


They rip us off on the east coast every year by not giving us the Spurs game.

[Marcus Bryant]

Stupid thread. Who gives a ?
