TV ratings up for NBA playoffs

[50 cent]

Really, who gives a flying how much the networks are making or how many people are watching?

I suppose someone will claim that the ratings for the Western Conference Finals are improved over last year because the Spurs are there again.

Whatever.

Spurs are there again. Just not for long.

The Spurs have been playing in record setting TNT playoffs for years.....it's the Network and ESPN ratings where they suck...probably because those idiots call them boring and lame while TNT never has.


Nothing sets up an anticipated NBA Finals like calling the likely participant boring every time their name is mentioned....all year long, year after year.

Even after they have a guy that a great deal of star players and coaches in the NBA consider one of the most fun to watch in Manu...and the guy that is arguably the fastest player in the NBA in Parker.


Suns = rebound run shoot rebound run shoot

Spurs = defend, post up, rebound, run, shoot, drive to the hoop, run back on d...etc.


The Spurs can run or play halfcourt...they haven't even been a pure halfcourt team in half a decade.


And it's not the style of play that makes a game exciting...it's how close it is...especially at the end, and the Spurs usually play in more close games than anyone.

Whottt, I may have to save this gem. Masterful, a truly artful expression.

the league and the networks. And the stupid ass marginal fans.
