Suns vs Cavs would not have been any better, unless of course the Cavs managed to win some games.
Then ratings would have been higher...

This article says all the networks ratings reached a new low. It said ABC suffered because there was NOT a sixth and/or seventh game of the NBA finals! Funny, I thought the ratings were too low anyway.
The article just shows that today there is a LOT more things that occupy people's time. There are hundreds of cable and satellite channels to choose from. The computer has taken away a LOT of TV viewers as well. The NBA is still popular. Anybody can see that. Sure the ratings would have been higher had the Cavs had a chance to win, but for us Spurs fans....we got to enjoy a no-stress championship!

comparing finals ratings to other finals ratings, it was bad, no disputing that.
article is simply saying if there was a game 5 or game 6 that would have most certainly beat out the reruns they were doing and thus higher ratings.

Right...because the Suns don't draw anymore interest or aren't a million times more fun to watch than the Spurs.
Which fits nicely into why the Sterns conspire against them.
How can they be more fun to watch, when the Spurs have OUTSCORED them almost every single in time they have played.
What a bunch of dumb ass people in Phoenix.....I swear. I hope yall NEVER win one. That goes for Dallas too.![]()
PRICELESS!
Instead of Baghdad Bob, we have San Antonio Stern!
so
what makes the suns so fun to watch? i dont get it.
For me, it's not seeing Eva Longoria every 5 seconds...
I think it's the gimmick offense D'Antoni runs and the complete lack of defense. That's also why they've failed to beat any team besides the Lakers in the postseason(a team that surprisingly has worse D than the S0ns).
Their window's closing and history's against them(no team with a defense as bad as the S0ns has ever won the 'ship aside from MJ's Bulls or the Shaq/Kobe Lakers). The only chance the S0ns have for a championship is to keep stockpiling players like Garnett and hope TD gets injured next year.
Probably enjoys watching the Suns miss more FG, and 3 pters, less rebounds, steals and blocks, not to mention the joys of seeing your favourite team run out of gas in the playoffs.
Is he helping answer why the Sterns are interested in helping a low-ratings boring basketball team over the favouritest team of recent NBA history?
He is good at explanations that defies logic, so he would probably do a great job here.

Honestly, do you think the Suns would not beat the Cavs?
Do you think that the games would be close?
Would there be any reason for a casual fan to watch Steve Nash and Amare beat LeBron senseless?
No. Wasn't the best rated games in the Playoffs Suns vs Spurs?
It's not the Spurs fault the Cavs suck.
OF COURSE I believe the games would have been better.
They would have been played at a faster pace. More running and less looking at the coach for instructions on what to do next!!!
The Spurs just play a very boring brand of basketball....
The Ohio State/Florida game wasn't close but it was MUCH more entertaining than any Spurs game.
Same with the Superbowl.
You want to blame the Cavs? Give me a break, you homer (no pun intended)!!!
Why do people assume S0ns would have made the Finals? The Jazz would have had 'em in 6. DWilliams was dropping 30 a game on the Spurs elite defense. Imagine what he'd be doing to Steve Trash and his piss poor defense.
D'Antoni and his gimmick system will never win a championship. No defense=no championship
the biggest knock against the spurs is that they don't bring in enough national ratings when winning championships.
i can live with that.
i still don't understand why people get upset about the low rating. other teams' fans didn't want to watch us win our fourth le. how insulting ...
Who cares about ratings. We have 4 championship. S0ns have 0. The Mavs, Nuggets, and Jazz have a better shot at a championship than the S0ns anyway. At least those teams understand the concept of defense.
Well, considering the fact that the Suns outrebounded the Spurs in the series... I think you're wrong again, gorilla.
Its easy to see how much you FEAR and HATE the Suns.
Fear? LOL
I'm much more concerned about the Mavs TBQH. The Steve Trash S0ns have never been a match for the Spurs. Why the would I be worried about them? D'Antoni being coach of the S0ns guarantees a Spurs post-season victory every time.
wow Sun's fans are pathetic. suns vs. spurs was highest rating in the playoffs because of 2 good teams unlike that crap Cavs team.
