Is there no interest in the NBA playoffs?

Due to my lack of interest, I almost didn't post in this thread. Nope, haven't been interested.

But, as an avid fan of most every sport, I find regular season NBA games pathetic. There's no defense until about the 4 minute mark, and then only if the outcome's still in the balance.

It's really kind of sad -- some of the world's best athletes with some of the worst work ethic. I much prefer the college game for that very reason. Same is true for football; college is an order of magnitude better than professional.

As a Lakers fan, I am sure you must agree that Kobe Bryant has a great work ethic.

Then why did you post? Did you lose interest when the Lakers beat the Rockets or are you just not a fan of the NBA period?

Yes, that was part of the Knicks "dream weeK". We got crushed by Boston, Cleveland and the Lakers. That was pretty much the end of our season right there.

I'd be happy if the Knicks ended up with Ricky Rubio, Tyreke Evans, Thabeet, Flynn, or Curry.

I am absolutely loving this NBA playoff season. The last 6 games could have gone either way. For once, there are 4 legitimate contenders for the NBA title. I can't tell who is going to make it to the finals, let alone who's going to win it all.

I am a rabid Laker fan. I've been mostly posting on the sports boards where there are fantastic discussion threads going on in the Kobe, Le Bron saga.

As far as I'm concerned, the season is already made with the Celtics losing to Orlando. I hate the Celtics.

I like and respect Le Bron James, but he is getting way too much hype for someone who hasn't won anything. In the Olympics, the stars were Dwade and the Black Mamba. Le Brick was nowhere to be found. Just like last night. Boy, did he did brick a lot of shots.

LeBron is undoubtably one of the premier players in the league but I believe Kobe Bryant is a more valuable player as there is no doubt that Kobe is the team leader. I am glad to have found another Lakers fan.

This a great playoffs because you have the 4 best teams and the games have been very close. By the way, I feel exactly the same way about the Celtics.

Le Bron James has the potential of becoming the best player ever in the NBA. He needs to win 6 or 7 championships first, though.

Until his career is over or until he is traded to the Lakers, I'm not rooting for him to win.

I'd like to see Kobe Bryant and Le Bron James agree to accept 1/2 of their salary and play together in LA. That would ensure another 5-7 championships in the next decade. Not sure how they would find any other way to win that many championships. And, if they did it, they would make up for the lost income with endorsements anyway.

Its has been raining in Orlando the last couple of days. Cancelling many out door events. I guess after last night the Cleveland Cavaliers wish someone could have cancel last night game because of the rain.

The only interest I have in the NBA playoffs is that I know when they are over it will only be about 60 +/- days till the NFL starts playing again!

Hi, you do know the 1st ad on this thread is NBA's ad.

All 4 teams are amazing this year. But look like unless some unfortunately event happen, the Cavalier will become team to be beated sooner than later.
