This isn't a "who Dama likes" debate, it's about why Spurs/Pistons is the worst national match-up.  The ratings and national interest do matter, even if you aren't bothered by it. 
 
  
If it does happen again, what would the media have to hype? Last time they had "OMG Larry Brown might be leaving!!!" What would it be this time? 
  
I have been surprised by this game so far.
