Spurs: Cavs/Warriors destroy Spurs "Small Market" excuse

[tenbeersbold]

Who cares,NBA getting bad as wrestling these days with the engineered Finals lmfao,Draymonds suspension, Curry's ejection,JR doing Bogut dirty,lmfao is corny

I don't care for either team but I'm telling the disinterested blowouts on both sides make a great case for nicely Silverized Finals and oh golly gee a manufactured rivalry to reel the suckers in.
Lebron Goat,lmfao most babied player ever hiding out in the East,he can't be in any greatest conversation cause he never spent time battling the greatest players of his generation, simple fact,they've been all out West.

I for once agree with the massive dumb that market size is becoming less and less important of a factor in driving television ratings.

The most important things a series needs to have now to draw is:

1. Marketable big stars
2. Storylines

Market size still isn't completely irrelevant. The Lakers could be the most boring and uninteresting team in the league, and they would still pull solid numbers in the Finals, but it's less of a factor today.

Market sizes never mattered. It was just an excuse defensive Spurs fans gave.

The NBA went through a slump (in terms of viewership) in the mid-2000s. We've known this. However, viewership does not necessarily reflect quality. People are stupid.

That "slump" was called "The Spurs".

OP's crowning achievement: losing in the Finals





Ouch that 2007 banner must really cause sore feelings in Phoenix every time you folks look to the rafters.

It's only a slump in popularity, not quality of basketball. Popularity does not reflect quality. Lots of people like things that suck, and dislike things that are actually good. Come on now, this is basic human psychology that we all know.

That's impossible. The Lakers could field UCLA's roster and still be an interesting team because they're the Lakers. The Hornets could put Durant and Anothony Davis in uniform and everyone would yawn unless they won 60 games.

I cooled the house down this morning to 59 degrees. I'm on a plan, cheap rates from 7PM to Noon. So, I turn it off at noon, but, by 3PM it's already over 70 degrees and rising. By 5PM it's close to 80 degrees. Then it's just ass holing it till 7PM.

Outside is bad, but, it's so dry it's tolerable. Some 6 people have died jogging in this since Sunday.
