The Spurs are great, that's why...

Agree. I haven't watched the first half of any of the conference final matchups yet.

I'd glady watch Spurs v Pacers in the Finals.

I'd watch 4th quarters of finals Spurs v Pacers

Me and you put together would make 1 decent NBA fan imo

I'll probably watch the game tonight from start to finish. This is Indiana's chance in this series. Win both games at home and we're in business.

Ante loves the Spurs. They look good right now. Those old geezers will likely get a nice rest while the Heat and Pacers duel.

If Indiana wins tonight, they win the series IMO...

Spurs vs Pacers would be a worse matchup than Spurs vs Nets from 2003. When that is your Finals you know that Stern has failed miserably. Retire on the spot.

^Agreed but no Heat in the Finals would make for great entertainment for the Heat haters.

Pacers v Spurs Finals would likely post the worst TV ratings since 2007 Spurs vs Cavs. It wouldn't be that bad though.

I don't like the fact that most people think if Indy vs San Antonio is a bad matchup, if they're the 2 best teams, so be it, but if the refs get ordered to screw Indy, then we know what's up...

Only who cares about Tv ratings are those people who run the NBA and try to make it like it's the WWE, I just want a fair match up, let the best team win, if the Heat wins and the refs don't push em to the finals like against Boston last year, then so be it...

In other news Mourinho is back with Chelsea !!!! This reason alone is enough for me to watch some football.

I love watching EPL,with Mourinho there it should be even more awesome.

Interesting wiki about ratings. Never really paid much attention to that.

Had no idea that Nets vs Spurs and Cavs vs Spurs were lowly viewed (rightfully, but still).
I'd still take both of those matchups over Pacers matchup. On one you had young Spurs and Kidd, then LeBron's first finals and prime Spurs while now you had old Spurs and meh Pacers.

I stopped even watching those nba.com recaps how boring the Conference finals are.

lol at WWE losing ratings every year since Cena became a demigod. They went from 4.5-ish to barely making 3.0. That's 1/3 of all people. Smackdown lost also 1.3-1.6 points in last 5-6 years.
Keep up the good work fellas it's obviously working wonders.

Major lol at TNA, they can't even hit a 1.0 rating with all the old timers.

:cmpunk:

Next step, Crax buying a FIFA game and witnessing the best team mode in a game other than ice hockey.

Crax should pick up FIFA. He's a football fan at heart.

FIFA club makes 2k online look like something from Sega Genesis.

WWE's ratings seem to be doing OK since Royal Rumble. They were in the tank in November-early January. TNA is too dramatic. I like the backstage stuff as much as the next guy but fuck all this Brooke Hogan drama.

Royal Rumble probably is the start of Wrestlemania season so that's why you get higher ratings. You have Rock, Brock, Taker and rest of fgts appear almost on weekly basis.

Still a 2.9-3.1 is meh in comparison to a 4.0-4.5 from middle 2000's.

The Pacers disappoint again

It will be their style to win game 4 to give people hope and then lose 5 and 6

Pacers are a joke, who cares, get to Miami vs Spurs pls

but hey, my baby plays tomorrow/today :tmac: #shockbandwagon

P. George reminds me of more athletic Joe Johnson. I think he's gonna have a similar career, prolly a bit better, not gonna win shit , a few all star games etc.

Wow, what a sudden change of thinking...Paul George the future, PG this, that...

And then he looses a game against the team that has the best player in the world and he has to guard him for the whole game and contribute on offense (and he didn't contribute tonight, but hey he had some great games in this series) and suddenly he's Joe Johnson...

Joe Johnson couldn't guard LeBron for 2 possessions...

/rant

Younger JJ was awesome, one of my fave players, it's a compliment.
Best player in the world is the reason he's not gonna win shit as long as they're in the same conference. But you never know....


Get some sleep, your hormones are messing with your head bruh

Lol I just argumented your post, don't get offended...

I think JJ is a much better shooter, but George is better at everything else etc...Much better...

Thank you Bryan for mentioning that nap...

It worked out great...

Remember the Future as the man who humbled Charles Anthony. He's still not up there to go against LBJ. No one is.

I guess we'll see in The Future

I agree with Crax about Paul George. I'm not ready to induct him into the HOF yet either. He's definitely a talented guy and a great athlete but something seems to be missing. That might have something to do with his supporting cast though. George Hill isn't exactly a big time PG and apparently Danny Granger is no longer a big part of that team, injured or not. Lance Stephenson smh...didn't this guy push his girlfriend down the stairs like 18 months ago and now he's suddenly a great player. This gives me hope for Jordan Crawford.

Nobody is inducting him into HOF...

I agree on Lance though...
