Too bad the San Antonio Spurs will rank among the worst dynasty teams in all sports. Ratings even prove this point. Typically great teams get get ratings. However, that is not evident in the Spurs case. Maybe they should change their name from "Spurs" to "Rating Killers"

Highest winning percentage for awhile, four championships. Good chance for more in the future.

I don't care about ratings, and ratings don't have any precedent on what the Spurs have accomplished.

I'll be watching the games along with others, and anyone who knows quality basketball will, as well. Unfortunately a lot of people don't quite appreciate, comprehend, or enjoy it.

Too bad? Not so much.

Losers will always be losers, hence why they cling onto the ratings excuse. Bit sad really.

As a fan of this team, I can honestly say that I don't give a **** about ratings. But if you want to play that game, the Spurs pull in quite a large International audience.

God it feels like the playoffs have already begun and not just the 1st round. Even though the spurs have the bad habit of losing the first game of the first round which makes things intense.

This is a big big big game tonight for us. and them too.

Oh no, we don't get ratings...I'd really love it if Joe Sixpack would just appreciate what we offer as a basketball team. That would make my day.

hmmm...maybe yes? maybe no? its debatable but i suppose you win in that case...

but in regards to spurs being a boring team to watch, i definitely disagree. people hate the spurs because of bowen being dirty? id love to have a dirty player on my team.. duncan a whiner? well, he is playing the game of the refs. but last years series against the suns is really a big question to me...well that is just me who used to be a spurs fan..


big game tonight guys! good luck

Likewise...

This is a very significant game due to the fact that it will have a significant say on who will have homecourt in the 1st round and beyond.

Held them to 16 points... :)

We need to keep our intensity and look to score more.

Hill has been a great pick up for Phoenix, I was wrong about him.

They need to use Diaw more in the post...

I don't know why Amare Stoudemire annoys me so much. Maybe, because I expect more in a basketball player than 'dunk, dunk, dunk, dunk*?

Anyways, good game so far. Oberto is absolutely AWFUL, and as uch a liability on the court as Vaughn though.

Well dunking is still a skill...and he does have a respectable jumpshot.

Kwame Brown is living proof that you can be a physical beast but be useless on the offensive side of the ball.
