NBA Finals SNOOZFEST...?

by TyboOSU on May 29, 2010 11:52 PM PDT

So yeah....I'm not a fan of othier team(O RLY!?!?) and I'm not a fan of rematches much either, I like new blood and new faces, and would have loved to see Orland-Suns, or Thunder-Cleveland or something zany.

But really these playoffs combined with some tough losses and first round exit by Blazers, were just horrible. 3-4 series sweeps? That 2nd round was done in a flash. I bet Stern was just cringing at the loss of money there. The semi-finals looked like another round of blowouts/sweeps(and were for Orlando for the most part) but these teams managed to put up a little fight towards the end, especially the Suns. Were these possibly the worst play-offs in recent memory?

Personally, I can't wait for the Free Agent Madness, the Draft(Blzrs moving up?), Summer/Training Camp, and my other great passion in sports, Football, namely Oregon State(Rodgers brothers!!!).

LETS LOSE LAKERS!

CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP!

Not so much for the Celtics as anti-LA.

For me the season is officially over.

Why watch two teams compete for their umpteenth championship? I don’t care for LA or Boston, but that’s why there’s no one to root for. It just doesn’t matter who wins between the two of them. Another banner to hang next to the dozen they already have.

At least if the Bulls or Spurs made it you could be excited by the fact that neither of them were expected to do so, but these two teams are the same ones that won the championship the last two seasons with largely the same players.

Blah…

Beaver Football

Cannot come soon enough. Nothin better than parking yourself in front of a tv on saturday morning and not moving from that spot until evening.
College gameday is the best.

Can't watch - doctors orders

ABSOLUTELY hate both these teams!

Which makes it the worst possible outcome for the Finals. That said, the Fakers should beat the Cs in 5.

I'm always up for a Lakers Celtics series

I’m down on the quality of play in the NBA this season and last. Allowings little guards to draw fouls on the centers and forwards has totally degraded the game. There’s non-stop flopping and bitching at the refs. It’s become a mess and the game is suffering. Otherwise, this is a classic series; how could a basketball fan turn away from Lakers Celtics.

I'm a basketball fan, not just a blazers fan.

I’m super excited for this finals. Looks like one of the most competitive matchups in years. I might hate the laundry but it’s a treat to watch this Celtics team, and the Lakers are a great foil to test their mettle.
