    Why does the national media shrug off the Spurs? Did they forget that the Spurs are the defending NBA Champs? TNT, ESPN, and ABC are all over the Mavs jock latley. Event the Sportscenter coverage spent more time on hockey than on the Spurs blowout of the Kings Is it because the Spurs don't have any players with wrap sheets that are as long as their stat sheets? Is it because the Spurs are not Ghetto faboulous? Should Brett Barry go down to the riverwalk and mug somebody? I don't think so. Doesn't a team that goes out and plays hard everynight and wins 63 games on the heels of an NBA championship deserve some respect?

    It's Brent Barry. Prognosticators are flavor-o'-the-day, no worries.

    Well, if it was a closer game, I'm sure there would have been better coverage. I don't mind the coverage on television as long as Rome, the boys at PTI and Around the Horn cover it.

    But I'll admit, it's a little frusterating waiting for highlights and seeing the Clipper/Nuggets highlights beforehand.

    Oh, but TNT is the answer. Every ABC playoff promo is just a Kobe/Lebron mini-highlight.

    If your double-negative is implying that the Spurs can, in fact, get some respect, despite fans negative opinions to the contrary, and if you're trying to spin this negative into a positively negative positive light, and if you're trying to garner support for this ill-fated, yet negatively positive campaign through the negative use of a positive poll. . .well then you sir, are an idiot, and I couldn't agree with you more.

    I did not know that ESPN and ABC were owned by Disney. That really does explain alot about the coverage.

    TNT wins again. Barkley usually gives Spurs some respect. When Spurs play same night as Lebron it will be difficult to get any pub.

    Because they want to make at the fact that Ron Artest was talking alot of stupid nonsense, like always and not backing it up on the first game...


    The blowout was something they could've capitalized on.

    Although I am not positive that this is negative I am positive that this negative topic was intended to illicit a positive response from the fans who feel negatively affected. The lack of negative or positive coverage of the Spurs leads some positive fans to feel slighted in a mostly negative way. The positive poll you speak of includes bias of a negative nature since the positive poll is conducted on a fan site. Bias is negative when positive polls are used because negative and positive fans illicit both negative and positive results, but mostly positive. Conversely, if a positive poll is on a negative fans site then the negative results would be a result of the positive poll being negatively affected by negative fans. WTF??
