I thought game 1 was great. 2 sucked until the end. 3 was sloppy, but at least it stayed close and Kobe had some cool plays. We'll see how it shakes out. No, it's not living up to the hype though. Your poll needs more options.
Im speaking as a pure basketball fan......even though I love my Spurs......but, this series just isnt living up to the Larry Bird vs Magic J. hype in the past. I just dont get it. I actually enjoyed new teams being in the finals for a change. How do yall feel?
PS. That being said, the * 2002 Lakers Championfix has made it a bit more interesting.

I just love watching a 40 FT disparity between two games. Makes perfect sense.
take a dumb?
I would say it is about on the border line. It hasn't lived up to the hype (when you bring up the old Magic vs. Bird saga, what the kind of series can?), but it also hasn't been a ty series. Good Finals, just not great.
I'm sure Magic knows what that means.
Tonight will tell a lot.
I can't get excited by a rigged outcome. Soap opera's aren't for me, I'd rather go down to the park and watch some scrubs play or school them for fun.
I'm starting to think this way too.
I don't even see how Laker and Celtic fans could be thrilled by these games, game 1 was good, game 2 a blowout and game 3 was one of the worst finals games ever.
Oh.......LOL
I didnt even notice...... I meant a DUMP
im somewhere in the middle.
"not great, but hey its basketball"
Funny as all TypoOh.......LOL

I've generally only switched over to check the score and watch a few minutes of action here and there of each game so far. My excitement for basketball dropped when SA was eliminated and now it's time to just sit back and wait till football.
That said, when one team gets to 3 wins in this series then I will probably watch a bigger part of the next game to see if that team can close it out.
Exactly how I feel......hopefully the Celts can get to 3 tonight.
Not living up to the hype....
Refs are sucking hardcore.
Its been okay, but my opinion is tarnished. I just can't stand the Lakers, or anything they do. Especially Lamar Odom - that guy is so overrated. He can't shoot or pass. And Pau Gasol is softer than warm butter. KG makes him look like a everytime he mans up and takes it to the rim.
Top Ten Signs an NBA Game Is Fixed
10. Game begins 20 minutes before visiting team arrives
9. Tip-off always goes to the player with the largest salary
8. At the end of the first quarter, the score is 179 to 2
7. Missed three-pointers count for two points if they're "pretty close"
6. One of the Laker Girls looks su iously like Pete Rose
5. Whenever he's open, referee takes a shot
4. Scoreboard has disclaimer: "All Scores Approximate"
3. The team loses even though it led in points, delegates, and the popular vote
2. Jack Nicholson scores 25 points from his seat
1. The Knicks win
^Rofl
Also rofl at the fact that cajunspur is the only one who voted yes
Not too exciting, but it's been ok. In general, a Finals is going to be much more exciting if you're a fan of one of the teams. I think this Finals has been one of the more exciting series in recent years, but it did not live up to the hype so far. But, once a team gets closer to winning or closer to being eliminated, the games get more intense and often get more exciting. The 2005 NBA Finals is often looked at as a pretty exciting series (especially among Spurs fans and Pistons fans) because it went to game 7, but the first four games were blowouts.
It hasn't been as good as expected, but how it ends in the final few games can change that.
It's all the celtic's fault. They make other teams play like crap and they play like crap on offense themselves.
from a neutral point of view, its pretty boring.
Olympic basketball is 50x more exciting. looking forward to that
