Problem with NBA marketing

[monosylab1k]

completely agree. suns are the best team in the nba

did dasunsfan convince one of his 9th grade buddies to go to the library during lunch to log in and give him some backup since no other reasonable Suns fan will?

[Suns_Rule]

I think they won the ESPYs "Team of the Year" Award.

all the games the Suns lose, are rigged so they lose or else they would win every single game

Don't think so.

No, parodying you is beneath my dignity, because you're boring and a one-trick pony. I only do MavericksDynasty, because SpursDynasty is so good at bringing the funny.

what's a troll? im 100% suns homer all the time... SUNS RULE WOOOOO

[da_suns_fan__]

Sure, I take him seriously. I'm sorry you can't read above a second-grade level.

My God, are you trying to prove my point?

Why would you quote that post if you are trying to prove that you weren't taking that guy seriously?

God, you really are that stupid, or you're just a Spurs fan in disguise trying to make Suns fans look bad. It was a reply to mono, not the troll.

you were doing alot better when arguing that the Suns deserved a "Ratings Champion" ring.

Yet you italicize Suns_Rule's post, BOLD his statement that every game the Suns lose is rigged and then end it with "Don't think so".

Maybe you slow down when you type, eh?

I'm almost convinced that dasunsfan is indeed Amare Stoudemire. Nobody else could possibly be this obtuse.

"Don't think so" is a reply to mono's question. The bolded part was highlighting what gave it away.

This is too easy. You have to walk before you can run, kid.

Well, I'm off work and headed out for a Friday afternoon of fun. It's been nice owning you again sun fan.

NBA.com tells us these are the "Ten to Watch":

Spurs vs. Blazers: Wow, so George Oden who hasn't played a single NBA game or paid his dues gets this kind of love already. I expect a Spurs blowout by 20 at the least. This game will in no way be interesting other than the ring ceremony.

Rockets vs. Lakers: Again, why is this one a must see? Two first round elimination teams from 2007 playoffs.

Mavs vs. Cavs: A first round elimination team and a team that not only is from the East, but got swept. Zzz.

Sonics vs. Nuggets: A team getting some kid named Kevin Durant vs. another first round playoff elimination team from 2007 playoffs. Zzz.

Wizards vs. Celtics: I'll give em this one. Let's see if Garnett and Allen don't cause any backstage problems. But then again, its East vs. East, so Zzz.

Mavs vs. Warriors: A good one to see only because we get to see Dallas get reminded that they are not the best team in basketball. I expect Davis and Jackson to knock down some threes and drive to the hoop on that joke of a team called the Mavericks.

Heat vs. Blazers: A first round elimination team vs. George Oden. Zzz.

Suns vs. Spurs: Finally, a decent game. Controversy plus pissing Phoenix off is always fun.

CHRISTMAS DAY GAMES: Quite possible the worst Christmas Day schedule in NBA history: Heat vs. Cavs - THEY BOTH GOT SWEPT IN THE PLAYOFFS! And you put them on national TV on Christmas. Because we all know LeBron was a ratings record-setter in the NBA Finals last year. Suns vs. Lakers - Suns draw attention, and Kobe draws attention, but as a game, I must say that it SUCKS ASS. This match up is so one-sided, other than Kobe highlights and some Suns highlights, expect a Suns victory by 15 points at the least. Zzz. Sonics vs. Blazers - No comment.

Celtics vs. Wolves - Always interesting to see a long-time player return home.

Nuggets vs. 76ers - See above. Only interesting thing about it is AI returning to Philly.

So out of these 10 so-called "must see" games, only 4 are quality games. I think the NBA has done a horrendous job with their national TV scheduling this season.

I can't believe the NBA is using this list in an effort to promote its recent champion, recent playoff performers, rivalries, up and coming young talent, and recently overhauled teams, in a regionally balanced fashion. It's almost like they're trying to create some buzz about their product. What the do they think this is? A business?

[Reggie Miller]

Apparently they're all as dumb as Amare.

NO ONE is as dumb as Amare. He still hasn't figured out the charge rule.

[Reggie Miller]

Then why didn't the Lakers generate these numbers when they played the Kings back in 2000?

Suns vs Lakers was the best ever.

How many more people had cable or satellite television in 2006 vs. 2000? You might want to start there if you are actually curious (rather than spouting another diatribe).

The regular season games I look forward to most throughout the year are Suns v. Mavs games.

If we're talking regular season, and even in the playoffs, the most exciting games are generally Suns games. They might not be the most meaningful (since the Suns haven't been to the Finals in some time), but they're definitely the most entertaining. There's always lots of drama.

The Lakers-Suns in 2006 was fantastic. Definitely the biggest story in basketball at the time.

you got that right... suns best team in the league by far... who wouldnt wanna watch sexy amare run around touching balls with nash and marion.

[Switchman]

Maybe they don't get a ring for getting out of the first round, but pop open the champagne and raise the roof es, cause the Suns are Pacific Division Champs!
