Of course.................who wouldn't want to watch the Lakers get smashed by the Underdogs?
Rating means ... didn't LA/Detroit get huge ratings in 2004, even though the Pistons took LA's manhood in 5?

Of course it was great seeing LA's y asses get pounded into the ground... but that was a terrible, one-sided series. It certainly didn't compare to last year's finals, where after game 2 it looked like a Spurs sweep, after game 4 the Spurs looked dead in the water, the classic game 5, a game 6 that everyone assumed the Spurs would win, but was taken by Detroit after a gritty effort to come back from such a heartbreaking game 5 loss.... only to have the Spurs come back from 9 down in the 3rd to win in game 7. Don't tell me that wasn't an amazing series. You never had any idea who was going to be the champs until Bowen blocked Billup's three with 50-something seconds left in game 7. That was a classic Finals by any metric.
The only thing keeping this series alive is Shaq. There are two camps in the US, those who love Shaq and those who hate him. No Shaq in the Finals and the Carolina Tsunamis or whatever are the biggest broadcast sports draw in America up to this point.
If the Mavs win this series, I predict that the entire state of Oklahoma cries about them not getting any respect from here on. It'll be 10 times worse than any exhibited by Spurs fans.
This SOB thinks a 2 time MVP and a 3 times Finals MVP is not a star. I hope both teams get to the Finals in 07 and keep getting a less than 100 total each game and the ratings go down the toilet.
