    You see, you have to respect the Mavs, the lost games 2-6 on purpose in a effort to get the casual fans back into the series. Damn were selfish.

    I think some of you missed the point. You're right, no one cares about ratings except the stations. That's what made it so funny to me that ABC was commenting on how Spurs were not a boring team. The only way it could have been less pathetic is if they said "It's going to be a good game, please watch! Please don't turn the station"! As much as everyone knows how silly ratings are, TV programming still lives and dies by it.
    Not if you can charge to put it on the internets and on televisions in other countries.

    If like me, you don't live anywhere near Texas, then ratings are extremely important, becuase they affect how often I can watch the Spurs without buying some sort of expensive cable or satellite package.

    In terms of what Spurs' fans should be worrying about RIGHT NOW, then no, they don't mean diddley.

    Some points:

    1. The ratings went down when ESPN/ABC took over from NBC. Obviously, the Disney conglomerate will never even examine the possibility that the real problem could be that ABC coverage blows monkey chunks. Honestly, I didn't think that ithe coverage could be any worse than 2005, until the cameras followed Bowen into the john WHILE THE GAME WAS STILL IN PROGRESS.
    Mostly agree with Reg except for this point. I liked the fact that the cameras followed Bowen into the bathroom. Thought it was funny. But why didn't they follow up on this important story? Did he go #1 or #2? Did he use more than one sheet of toilet paper, because if he did, that makes him a bad person. We need to know these things.

    The whole point of sideline reporters is to give us insight that we wouldn't be able to figure out on our own, things that have nothing to do with the game itself. We need cameras to show us the hot chicks in attendance, the celebrities, the wiggers.

    Another good point. In New Orleans, it is next to impossible to catch a Spurs game on the tube, unless they happen to be playing the Hornets in town (their games are not all televised), or playing the Cavs/Heat/Lakers/Mavs/Suns, in which case it might be on nationally. I do have the fortune of being able to get WOAI all the way out here at night. I've been able to catch almost every game over the years, in weird, distant, faraway places like rural Oklahoma, Shreveport, and now New Orleans because of WOAI's strong signal.

    But I do wish they were on TV more.

    In SW Indiana, you can usually pick up WOAI 1200 AM if the game is in the Pacific Time Zone or starts later for tv reasons. Earlier in the day, all you get is interstatial interference. I went to Atlanta for the Braves-Cubs series over the weekend, and we were picking up WOAI near Calhoun, Georgia at 1:00 a.m. Once we headed into the Resaca/Dalton area, the mountains blocked the signal.

    When I wrote Commissioner Stern and asked him to bring back the Boobie Cam, I didn't mean more Daniel Gibson.

    Funny... ABC trying to defend the Spurs in the pre-game by saying "If anyone thinks the Spurs are a boring team, they don't know much about basketball" and "I don't see how anyone can call the Spurs boring"....

    Followed by the most boring game in Finals history...

    Ironic...

    If you ask me it was a bad excuse for the horrible ratings for the Finals this year.

    No wonder you guys don't win Championship.....

    Yeah, that was definitely the most boring Finals game I've ever seen.

    That's more of a slight to the Cavs, because the Spurs can play just about any style successfully.
    Wow. A Suns fan setting the record straight on a Mavs fan.

    Translation = My team isn't in the Finals so let's hope the ratings are bad or something so I can talk about how the Spurs suck.
