I'm glad the NBA finally realized how boring and bad for ratings the
mermaids (sp*rs) are!

After being removed from the NBA Title last year, the boring mermaids
are not even in the top 6 teams to get attention by the networks..

Bullshit with the Small-Market excuse, Cleveland, Phoenix and Miami are
small markets and they will get more exposure

Yes the mermaids will get some TV, but not as much as other teams...

Thank God!

MOST NATIONAL TV APPEARANCES (NOT INCLUDING NBATV)

ESPN:

10 -- Cleveland Cavaliers
10 -- Dallas Mavericks
10 -- Detroit Pistons

I wouldn't worry about those egg heads and their errant marketing. They
never played the damn sport!

Teams that provide the most entertainment and should be on nationally
are;

No. 1 Miami Heat...Shaq, Mourning provide muscle that the adverage fan
just can't muster.
And Williams and now Wade provide antics and heroics that adverage
fan/players envy and try to duplicate.

No. 2 LA Lakers, there is still the Kobe watch and wonderment,
especially after that 81 point performance last season. Long time fans
and new ones await the return of the Lakers to the upper elite status
just like Christians await Jesus, they'll probably arrive in glory at
about the same time....

No. 3 San Antonio Spurs, Duncan, Parker and Ginobli are exciting and
exceptional ballers. They know how to compete and win!

No. 4 this year will be the Chicago Bulls with afro Big Ben Wallace,
who'll change the image and odds way out in Vegas. Already come down to
an early 4-1 favorite.

No 5 Deeeeetroit basketball! Pistons will generate interest in most
fans who just want to see how they'll react and perform without Wallace.
Prince is set to join an all star cast along side James and Bryant.
With just a little more finese and a tint of greed he'll be there.

No. 6 What's happenin' in Phili'...fans having heard all the trade
rumors involving the littlest big man in basketball Allen Iverson will
still want to see how he focuses and plays.

No. 7 Has to be Orlando Magic. With a new star in Dwight Howard and a
healthy cast fans will want to know if they can continue what they
started at the end of last season.

No. 8 Cav's....the novice will watch James and Cleveland, along with
Hughs hoping for some highlight footage....

No. 9 Dallas Mav's. A let down in the finals as real ballers feel Dirk
punked out when he got bounced around by Shaq and Morning will seek if
he can bounce back!

The rest of the league is to watered down without real interest...but
next in line would be Suns, Utah and then possibly the Bucks...followed
by Timberwolves and Clippers... any after that you really don't even
want to watch for free!

How much is League Pass? As a Spurs fan stuck in Katy, I'll need to
get my basketball fix somehow. The rockettes only play SA 4 times,
and all rockette games have a 'preseason' feel about them.

How the hell did the Pussy Rockets get 12? I guess they have to fill some
spots on ESPN 2...

Looking at that schedule I'd have to say the NBA is really pimping
LeBron James. The Cavs haven't done enough to warrant that kind of
exposure yet. One second round playoff appearance in a gazillion
years shouldn't get 24 national TV appearances. Same can be said of
the Lakers and Kobe. The other teams on that list have at least
contended for the last 3 or 4 years and deserve that amount of
exposure.

Its who you want to see play. I like watching the likes of Kobe and Lebron.
The best is when Kobe posterizes Lebron or Wade.

If the Spurs are "pathetic" and they only have 17 games on National TV, what
does it say that the Rockettes only have 12 playing in a city 3 times the
size of SA? And way to go by crossposting to all the other newsgroups to
show how much of a stupid asshole you are, Louis. I notice that you didn't
add the Rockets newsgroup. Is that because they always tell you to shut the
hell up and stop embarassing them? Now THAT is truly pathetic!
