But the problem with them is the smaller NBA market (which has already been noted) and the simple fact that the Spurs are fucking boring to watch. Tim Duncan is awesome, no one says otherwise, but shit man, watching him play is like watching the WNBA. And he could stand to show a little emotion here and there. Robotim Duncanbot is boring, sorry. Tony Parker? Different story. He’s fucking amazing. But he's also French. So that invalidates his awesomeness. Sorry.

and the Lakers are still favored by 5 to beat the Spurs on Sunday:

Boring to watch? They're the only reason I'm watching the playoffs this year.

After watching the game with friends at a sports bar, then wallowing in freakish grief all night at the beating my beloved Spurs took. I come to work, come to NT, and you’ve posted a reminder for me. How am I supposed to get through work today? They old “I’m not crying, must be something in my eye” trick only works so long.

I do believe I 'guaranteed' a Mavs victory over Sac.
Now I'm concerned about who is going to sufficiently tempt T-Mac from Orlando. Houston, Phoenix and Dallas are all highly interested. Supposedly, Houston would give up Steve Francis and ANY other player besides Yao... Phoenix would trade their draft pick, Shawn Marion, Joe Johnson and Jake Voskuhl... Orlando, however... is really interested in our rookie sensation, Marquis Daniels. Sooo... that's a small bit of 'favor' towards us.
T-Mac in Dallas! 2005! NBA finals!
Unlike the fucking Lakers, that wouldn't be a stacked team that everyone would freak over. It would be a 'very' strong team, like Sac's lineup or Detroit after Rasheed arrived.
Wait... this is about the Lakers... hmm... I still say they are going down.

Houston is too capped to get both T-Mac and Nash without a complete overhaul and an amazing amount of trading gymnastics. I guess it could be done, financially... which would possibly make the biggest 3-way in the history of the game... Yao, T-Mac and Nash? Holy fuck...
HOWEVER... Dallas... Nowitski, Nash, Finley, McGrady... whoah.
