Hawks/Memphis would probably be the lowest rated finals in history 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post devilwentdown2GA Posted May 13, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I think it's pretty clear that the media prefers the stars to the team oriented Hawks. On Sportscenter the playoffs conversation is: 1. LeBron 2. Rose and Butler 3. LA Clippers 4. Wall's hand 5. The Truth 6. Splash Bros 7. The Mask The Hawks are only talked about when the conversation surrounds the Wizards. They'd hate for the Hawks to get to the finals. Makes me want it even more. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlhawks1 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) The media and the NBA CREATES interest in what people want to see. The average consumer has the thinking capacity of a rock, thus, the dumb downed sheeple obviously would want the latest episode of the soap opera coming from the lebron james story, vs a story about a team that the NBA and media PURPOSELY doesnt give the same exposure.

Then again though, that's why if we want to increase our popularity, we actually NEED the Cavs in the ECF, so that the "team that nobody cares about", can become the darlings of Lebron haters everywhere by taking him down. And we need the Clippers in the Finals for the same reason. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we need the Clippers in the Finals for the same reason. I'm hoping for that exact scenario. Take down LaBrawna in the ECFs. Then CP3(0), Mr. Kia, and almighty L.A. in the finals. That will be the reality pill that ESPeein' and the sheeple will have to swallow and thus accept. Against their will.

The media is pushing the "Ooh, him so couragous ..." agenda nonsense. ETA: It has the added bonus of making LiiBron's "herculian" efforts all that more tantalizing.
