Snoozefest in 2014 causing ratings issues, huh???
That is ridiculous.

The 2015 games are close in this series but the product is almost unwatchable garbage.
This is not great basketball to watch in this series.

Bad refereeing, horrific shooting, which team plays worse is the theme so far in the finals.
Forget overtime, the games sucked to watch other than the singular attraction of watching LEBRON.

LEBRON brings eyeballs. His ratings share have nothing to do with Cleveland.
LEBRON would bring fans if he played for the Utah Jazz.

San Antonio is a tiny market that doesnt command a west coast audience.
The Bay Area is a gigantic market that commands a west coast audience.

It has nothing to do with the quality of the product.
San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose/Sacramento dwarfs the size of San Antonio/Austin.

The quality of basketball played (at least from the Spurs) was not "snoozefest".
It might have been the most flawless and entertaining basketball in the last 20 years.

no need to argue over ratings guys...

ok ok, secret weapon of my own. in fact I never mentioned this even back on CBS. long time ago they gave away free LeBron T-shirts over at Sports Chalet in Torrance(just before the start of his first season). told the guy who gave it to me that the only way i'd keep it is if I ever ran outta toilet paper. but just for tonight's game i'm gonna dig it outta mothballs and throw darts at it...

you're welcome, Warriors fans...

You'll be getting a cease and desist letter from my lawyers

Wiggy made the comment.
You don't really need to explain that to fans of the game or people who simply understand it.

Wiggy is the King of after that fact, as well as being the master of wild predictions that are always backed up by built in excuses.

pretty bored just sitting around waiting for this game to start. why not a 8 PM EST???

 

[LAD]

Not really. If you look back, historically there has normally been at least 3 studs per team.

Chicago had Jordan, Pippen, Rodman (greatest rebounder ever), Kerr (most proficient 3 pt shooter ever), Kukoc (one of the top 6th men ever), and several other very solid players.

The Lakers had Magic, Kareem, Worthy, Cooper, etc.

Boston had Walton, Bird, Parish, Johnson, etc.

San Antonio has had Duncan, Ginobli and Parker with some really good role guys

Really it's just been the 03-04 Pistons who've broken the mold as they didn't really have a superstar at all. Just incredible team ball.

Some good exaples, except for MJ, Pippen and Rodman. MJ won 3 without Rodman.

Cause that would mean 5 pm pacific.
People aren't home yet.


I will say it's nice to see downtown Cleveland looking so vibrant.
One thing about James, he is good for business,

Alright then.

Well, you can imagine the confusion if the reader hasn't seen that movie.

No worries. You can still be my BFF as soon as @Huwaryu_in_exile goes back to that tramp, @moxie , or I drop him.

Hey!

Skank...

 

[LAD]

He can dunk.
Ball just hit the rim at a weird angle.

You don't need to throw 'it down'.

Just slam it through..

It also looked like he pulled on the rim a little bit

playing DCUO 'til the game starts. it's a time killer...

 

[LAD]

And Curry has shot like shit in back to back games, so what's the difference?

Come on, I know you hate Lebron and the Cavs but at least be fair.

The difference is Curry's team is loaded with scores whereas LBJ doesn't exactly have that luxury.

speaking of football, gonna hate the gap between the end of these playoffs and the NFL pre-season...
