IF, Detroit wins tonight, the pattern will be similar to what they did to LA lakers last year. and as I said before, if Spurs loose a game at home, they are pretty much cooked. Oys chill As for declining TV rating, what do you expect in San Antonio? They are the fattest city and does not care for much of exercise. I said, if Miami and Purs were there in finals, the ratings would have dropped more. It would have been a very boring game, all concentrated below the basket. At least you can see some aerial shows with Pistons. Now the series evened, the rating should go up as it gets more interesting. Spurs are not keeping the pace with Pistons and thats why the games are boring.
