So now that Horry has given the Spurs Street Cred...

Now we just need to get W to show up at a few Spurs games....

Solid Gold.

The NBA could have marketed the team the same way the NFL markets, oh I don't know, the Patriots and the Colts. Maybe throw in some puff pieces during the regular season. Maybe show some actual highlights. How many times this year has ESPN completely missed showing the best plays from the Spurs game on Sportscenter? How about some explanations of the way the defenses work so people know what to look for? If you can show NFL fans the battle between linemen, you can teach NBA fans to appreciate defense.

If you know there's a pretty good chance two teams are going to go deep into the playoffs, you could at very least make sure people don't despise the thought of watching them just because everybody else says they are boring.

You know how many Golden State games I would have watched in the First round had they not been playing the Mavericks?

And the fact they had gotten the Mavs number the entire season.

I didn't miss any of those games.....Even the ones that kept me up past midnight to see.

Whoever says "hate" sells is right.....

What makes the headlines in the news? Blood, sex, hate, and crime.

When was the last time you saw an article about "a good soft" team make the headlines of the Sports paper?

[boutons_]

what are the playoffs TV rating this year vs past years?

The GSW/Mavs and Spurs/Suns series should be racking up some viewers.
