I love this game
The NBA Playoffs have been unbelievably good this year. There have been a ton of great games and schedule is just about perfect from a TV watcher’s perspective (in stark contrast to last year). It worked out nicely because the Western Conference games would come on around 10:30pm.
Four Game 7s so far. Three (Lakers, Cavs, Clippers) of them have not gone my way. It’s especially tough when the team you’re rooting for was up 3-1 or 3-2 at some point - makes those “what-ifs” all the more difficult to swallow. I’m cheering for the Mavs the rest of the way for the following reasons:
- I hate the Suns .
- I hate the Pistons.
- I don’t really like the Heat.
- Mark Cuban can be loud and obnoxious, but he is quite the basketball fan.
