Should the league be praying that teams like the New Orleans Hornets mature into title contenders or is the strengthening of a the Spurs dynasty’s legacy even more meaningful to the sport?

an excerptÂ
“San Antonio’s been crowned king three of the last five years, using patient offense and aggressive defense to outlast its opponents. Sunday night, with the series even at three-all, the Spurs responded as champions do, eeking out a huge Game 7 road win. Yet, despite their clutch play and dynastic dominance, the Spurs are one of the least-liked teams in the league and are consistently cursed by poor ratings.”
This excellent column is an example of why I’ll be posting her weekly column from The Love of Sports.com here every week in this spot. It reminds me of an episode I watched this season of my favorite show, “Real Time with Bill Maher” on HBO. When Maher introduced his guest, Real Time and CNN reporter Amy Holmes, he said “please welcome my next guest. I have to share her with another outlet, but that’s ok, I’ll take her anyway I can get her.”
Indeed this is life in the current consolidated media landscape. Ms. Spain represents TLOS and TSB synergy in action!

I second that. Watching a Pistons-Spurs series would be cyanide in basketball form.

I would rather watch paint dry, then watch the Spurs in the finals.
