Bulls have 5 ABC Sunday games this year, including 4 straight from mid-February to mid-March
Knicks have 5
Lakers have 4

Pacers and Spurs combine for 1

it always backfires on the national networks. each year, they choose big name teams they think will win a lot of games, blowing their load over the fact that a they keep making ty trades(that they think is a great one) went down or that a player who's injured 90% of the time comes back. then when they figure out ty trades don't work out(surprise!) or some the oft injured star is injured again, they're stuck with ty ratings. em.

Are there other teams playing in that time slot? ESPN and TNT have already dropped Lakers and Chicago games from their line up, no reason why ABC won't do the same.

Nobody wants to watch the Spurs except for the swines living in San Antonio.

thats the power of big markets imho. they make play like but can still generate good $, that's why most big-market teams don't care that much about winning

[JohnnyMax]

If Pops wasn't a and resting his players. Maybe NBA can get a Heat-Spurs rivalry.

[elmanutres]

abc sucks ass anyways.

TNT's coverage is so much better, even though they have Reggie Miller on there.

They pick teams with the most viewers. That makes business sense because they are trying to sell air time to sponsors. I doubt SA lawyers and collision and body repair, or HEB, want to buy time on ABC.

thinking the majority of NBA viewers would tune in to a Spurs or Pacers game unless they were playing against Lebron, Carmelo or D-Rose.
thinking private businesses have to "play fair" with NBA teams
not getting it that being successful on the court /= popularity
