It's no wonder the fans aren't giving face, the game lacks superstars, and the key is the viewing experience of the Pistons and Spurs matches, comparable to Shawn Marion's shooting, Sam Cassell's makeup, and LeBron James's dribbling.
Both teams focus too much on defense, the match filled with turnovers and misses, and Tim Duncan's smile that keeps kids sleepless for three days and nights.
Moreover, Duncan and Big Ben's free throws are terrible (free throw is Big Ben's frequently overlooked weak spot), so the most exciting critical moments of the game turn out to be the dullest. The last few minutes often get fragmented due to fouls, with the fans only watching two ugly freethrow shooters compete in missing shots.
The most crucial point is, this is the first year of the league executing the new broadcasting agreement.
