The NBA Playoffs

  • Are the best in sports IMO and its not even close.

    Baseball is in the World Series two weeks after a 162 game schedule. Football is great but is only 1 to 2 days a week. Hockey follows a great format like the NBA and is very entertaining but it is still talking.

    The NBA gives me 1-2 games per night every night of the week. It last two months and into June which is normally an abysmally unexciting season for sports. I get 7 game series between teams with recognizable stars for the most part and the storylines are usually compelling.

    Right now the only series that is really boring is Phi/Boston and that is only because Rose got hurt. Eastern and Western Conference finals should be even better.

    The NBA is as good as I can remember it being. There is a group of 8-10 really good teams that are capable of making a run, all of which have recognizable personalities on their teams.

    Cue all the NBA haters who "haven't watched since Jordan".

  • I was watching Charles and Shaq last night, we're talking quality entertainment here, and an NBA game broke out. True story.

    Two words: Playoff Hockey.

    It's not even close. Then, the NFL. I'm not even including the NCAA BB Tournament, which is on a whole other level.

  • I agree with you. I like the Spurs and am hoping for a Spurs-Heat final. It would be a great series. Yeah the rose injury sucks because the bulls-heat series along with spurs-thunder would have been sweet

    I would agree, I am just not as big a fan of the NHL. The format is identical.
