"I don't know Lloyd, the French are assholes."
Jokes aside, the Spurs are one of those teams where you love them or hate them. They play pure fundamental basketball (slow, grinded-out games). People who know the fundamentals of the game appreciate them for what they are. They're a very well-coached team and unselfish team. Casual viewers are turned off by them, that's why anytime they are in the Finals the TV ratings take a dump.
