2009 and 2010 were ty too
It's still early, but so far it's been atrocious...and it looks like the CF's are only gonna go 5 games as well.
Unwatchable basketball in the EC, with lack of compe ion in the WC. Unless we get a 7-gamer out of SA and Miami this will be the worst postseason of my lifetime...moreso than 1999 and 2007.
2009 and 2010 were ty too
Bounced out of the second round two years in a row
Yeah. Definitely. Unwatchable basketball from the leastern conference. Boring basketball from the West. Yeah. Unless OKC-Sa and Boston-Miami goes at least 6 games with compe ive basketball, this is the worst non-compe ive postseason of basketball ever, IMHO.
2011 was better. I thought that it was going to be ty at first mainly because I thought that the Mavs were going to choke against the Blazers after the crap out in game 4. I know I'm biased but at least a dozen of the Mavs' playoff games were exciting. I mean a lot them were nail biters and comebacks courtesy of the Mavs.
Not nearly as bad as the aforementioned ones.
2010:
Celtics-Cavs: LBJ sending a message to the fans in his last ever home game.
-most compe ive finals of the new century.
2009:
-arguably the most exciting first rd series ever (C's-bulls).
-celtics vs magic
-cavs vs magic
-lakers vs nugs (first 3 games were great...game 5 was good too).
1999:
-allan houston vs heat
-LJ's 4-pt play against indy.
2007:
Warriors upset Mavs
LBJ's Game 5 at the Palace
Donaghy betting on Spurs
2012:
???
^ mark game 4 of WCF. It'll be dully noted for a screw job favoring the pussy Thunder to win game 4. Which will give em momentum to successfully accomplish a back door sweep.
2009 probably spoiled us all. That first round was simply amazing.
But yah... something about this post season is lacking. Probably due to all the injuries. That Rose injury really killed the eastern conference playoffs.
The West would have been more watchable if it were San Antonio vs Lakers in the WCF. Phil Jackson not coaching the Lakers also takes away a lot of personality. Instead we get dumb and dull potato head.
I think Laker fans hate that guy more than any other fanbase.
Even the Lakers are unwatchable this postseason.
While the Western conference games were awesome, the early to mid 2000s Eastern conference was so bad that when you combine the two I still think the magnitude of the East's suckiness outweighs the good from the Western side.
The east has had a lot of ty playoff basketball in the last decade.
2007 was pretty atrocious, yes we had the Mavs get lol mavs but the series were pretty bad.
Nothing to see here.... DD just taking a giant squat in the NBA forum again.
Tbh, it really gets boring when your team gets eliminated early, no pun intended.
Heat - Celtics = great defense, artificially prolonged series though, the C's should be 2:1
Spurs - Thunder = great offense, if the Spurs take G4 it won't be a long series.
NBA best 4 teams advanced. The rest, pure garbage tbh.
Seriously how the do you have 40k plus posts consisting of "lol/lmao/smilies", "my team is better than your team because i said so" schtick and when you post something a little more elaborate, it's a copy/paste job.
Sure i like to troll but you're just an awful, awful poster... you should just stop posting, you'd be doing yourself a favor tbh.
Not for me. I was thoroughly entertained watching Kirby choke away two games in the playoffs. Not to mention the Spurs playing well, but watching my own team usually angers me more than entertains me, even if they're rolling, since I demand flawless play every possession (like most fans, I take it). I'm typically entertained by the failure of a rival or games I have no personal involvement in.
If your team gets ousted, a thread like this is par the course...
idk man watching the Lakers get shat on was pretty entertaining
OKC will it in 6 games, don't worry.
OKC-MIA should be good.
Call me homer, but the Spurs's layup drill domination has been awesome up until the last game. Other than that, I agree the rest has been fairly mediocre.
The salvation is of course the 28 joining us in the last place & seeing OKC & the Clippers absolutely incapable of a single lucid thought without the Lakers across the scorer's table.
tee, hee.
One of my Laker friends keeps posting Laker youtubes on the facebook feed. Only way he gets through the boredom of being ousted.
It's only the worst post season if you are a Lakers or Bulls fan. If the Lakers or Bulls swept the playoffs and Finals, Lakers or Bulls fan would proclaim it the greatest post season of all time.
Tbh, any post season that doesn't feature the Lakers in the WCF or the Celtics/Bulls/Knicks in the ECF is a wasted season. No one wants to watch two cow towns battle it out in the West, or the appointed ones battle the anointed ones in the East.
When your team isn't prominently featured, it's boring, unless you're a basketball purist and enjoy the game.
If your entertainment comes mostly from the drama of hated teams falling, their stars being embarrassed and appearing utterly driven and defeated and beloved teams rising, their stars being heralded as the greatest of all time, you have a point though.
