With the elimination of the Phoenix Suns on Friday night, that means there are no longer any entertaining teams left in the playoffs. We all know the Spurs are notoriously dry. The ex-Phoenix Sun bench warmer, and current employee at ESPN.com, wrote:
"I can't imagine how anyone could root for the Spurs. It would be like cheering for cancer. Of course, they're really effective (unfortunately, so is cancer), but I don't know if a roster of such easily disliked basketball players has ever been assembled."
That pretty much sums it up. You can read more here.
I'm sure the league is bummed, too.
Ratings are going to plummet. Tim Duncan has never been one to fill an NBA arena with fans. WWE has better ratings than the NBA playoffs! And that shit's fake!
The only thing that can save the playoffs now is a heroic performance from King James. If he can push the Pistons to a game 7, then people may show a little interest. But, don't hold your breath.
