2006, 2007, and 2008 were some of the most unpredictable and exciting years I've ever seen in the NBA. Somehow though, this year just seems boring. The Cavs are going to slaughter the east. The Lakers are going to slaughter the West. So until the finals come, is there really any point in watching? So far for me, that answer has been no. I have not seen a single playoff game yet.

They are a snorefest, yet you haven't watched a single game. Brilliant.

Miami and Atlanta has been exciting to watch. I like watching the Cavs, because I like watching 'Bron dunk on people.
All of the games have had some level of excitement, but on that same note, some have been boring as well.
I was hoping for a little more of a fight from the Bulls, though.
The lakers/utah game last night was excellent.
I think the officiating sucked and was totally inconsistent throughout BUT, the game itself was close and back and forth and physical. Great game.
Miami/Atlanta also had a good previous game and Detroit/Cleveland should likely turn into a series in Detroit.

I seriously doubt that. Cleveland will beat the Pistons tonight and again Sunday.

I agree. Lebron was PISSED after game 2 when the Cavs second line lost their huge lead. Lebron wants teams to pay and beg for mercy.

LeBron is a Beast. There is no question that he has eclipsed Kobe. The guy cannot be stopped... the only thing that can slow down his game is if he is having a bad shooting night.

I've only seen him have one bad shooting night. That was during his slump in last year's playoffs against the Celtics.

Lebron is bigger and stronger and younger and has played less games over the last couple of years. Kobe just looked tired last night and I don't remember the last time I have seen him be tired when he's not sick. The Lakers definitely need him a little more rested.
That coupled with the fact that the ref's allowed him to get absolutely clobbered going inside and didn't call anything didn't help :)
Cleveland's series is looking like the first sweep of the post-season. For a moment there I thought that David Stern would instruct his boys to call the Cavs tighter but, c'est la vie :D
Btw, I still don't understand how a guy as physical as Lebron is doesn't get called for more than 0 fouls a game. :confused:

I agree with pretty much all of that...Kobe WAS tried...Olympics, season, now playoffs...He had to play 9 extra minutes in that game...
Lebron is a beast, but I still say the Lakers are too deep for Cleveland in the end...

I guess you're gonna have an objective opinion living at the Staples Center, huh?

You should have heard me cussing during the Blazers-Houston game last night. NSFW.

Portland has been getting jobbed by the refs all series. Here is Battier getting a board, falling down, and losing the ball out of bounds. A foul was called on a Portland player this play, resulting in free throws. Portland should have had the ball back with 9 seconds to go down by 3.

Oden has also been getting screwed by the refs all series. Hopefully Portland can overcome the injustice tonight and even the series again.
I normally hate complaining about officiating but it has been blatant inequality this series.

They are probably just looking to extend the series.
And Battier was clearly fouled by the intensity on the Blazer's player's face. I mean it's OBVIOUS.

Cavs sweep!
Yep.
That was actually the second NBA Playoff game I've watched fully. Really, the Cavs games are the only ones worth watching. I'm pulling for the Cavs this year definitely. Cavs and the Nuggets are the only two teams that are entertaining.

Honestly, I think that the Nuggets are the only team that could take down the Lakers. Everyone else is pretty weak.

The Celts will win the series, but won't get by Orlando.

I wouldn't be so sure. The Bulls are putting up quite a good fight. The celtics are choking without KG.
Can't wait for Lakers/Cavs finals. Lebron is going to abuse Kobe so bad. I'm not saying the Cavs will win the series, but I guarantee Lebron will outscore/outrebound/outdefend/outassist/outeverything Kobe.
