2008 Playoffs Lackluster?

Yeah, the first 2 rounds have sucked for the most part. But a Det/Bos series and an NO/LAL series would be very fun to watch. If the Spurs beat the Hornets it's going to be boring for me. I really want to see a Paul/Kobe clash.

If only they could have pulled off the upset, that would've been amazing. Celtics = BORING!

Last I had heard, the Celtics-Pistons game was the highest-rated on ESPN for the season. Imagine what a Celtics-Lakers series can do compared to any other Eastern team playing the Lakers. I don't think the TV viewing audience feels the Celtics are boring.

I'm pretty sure the lakers/suns game was the highest rated game on espn for the season.

I thought the first round was pretty good. 2nd round however hasn't been that exciting.

Suns/Spurs, 6ers/Pistons, Rockets/Jazz, and Hawks/Celtics series were entertaining.

Too bad they are...

The Utah/Lakers game tonight was TERRIFIC; that was the best game since Game 1 of the Phoenix/San Antonio series, in my opinion.

But overall, I've still been disappointed with the playoffs this year in general. Interesting that I'm not alone in that opinion.

There was just SO much hype going into this post-season, and I just don't think it's lived up to it.

But hey, if this Game 6 tonight between Utah/Lakers is a sign of things to come, the rest of the playoffs should be great. (Hopefully)

At the same time, after Game 1 of Phoenix/San Antonio, people said the same thing and look what's happened since...

Hopefully they just maintain a high level like the game tonight between Utah and Lakers.

Man, what a game!

Agreed... but the Hornets run has been fun and the Hawks for a bit.

seriously the playoff push in the regular season was probably more exciting than the actually west playoffs...save the epic 2OT game...
