  • This year's NBA playoff sucks for me

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

If Boston wins, I literally have no team I can root for. Spurs are boring to root for or against. Oklahoma just beat LA so I think it's improper to root for them, as I totally despise the 'if we lose let's hope the winner beats everyone else'. I don't actually hate Oklahoma (though James Harden's beard is ugly) but I think there's a stature of limitation of 1 year before you can root for the team that just beat your team. The Miami Heat is well... the Heat... you can't support Lebron just on principle. Rooting for Boston is like dealing with the devil for a Lakers fan, not to mention I find most of the guys on Boston ugly. I guess I can hope for Philapadelphia to beat Boston and then miraculously beat the Heat (yeah right), and I don't care too much who wins in West though Duncan is at least a nice guy.

And from a basketball point of view, this year's playoff has been pretty boring. San Antonio, Oklahoma, and Miami are pretty much just blowing everyone out. Even when Miami are down to 1-2 it's not like anyone expected them to lose. The only somewhat close series is Boston vs Philadelphia but I think it's only close because both teams are pretty bad. Hopefully the western conference final would be more watchable.

Ain't nuttin' wrong with the old men makin' one last push at it. It's happening with Brodeur in hockey and I hope we get a Boston-Spurs final, although I personally think it'll be the other two teams regardless of whether or not the Celtics win tonight

Supporting the Celtics is like me saying Nintendo does something good. It goes against the contract of being a Laker's fan, but then Miami Heat is like some kind of great evil that all must unite to defeat or something.

I actually think the Spurs will win it all. Losing Bosh seems to really hurt Miami.

Yes, Nintendo has never in the history of the company ever done anything good....

Bosh is far more integral to Miami's success than people wanna admit. I don't care how good your guards and small forward are, without that big guy down low requiring attention, it's gonna be real tough to beat the good teams. You think Dallas woulda had a chance without Chandler last year? Big guy don't need to score, just require attention
