Are the Playoffs boring anyone ?

[Southpaw]

I am finding these playoffs terminally boring. They are going on and on and on and these 70 something point games are killing me. Is anyone afraid to win. Teams that were throwing up 100+ points during the season , all of a sudden, are going to these half court sets and seem afraid to run. The Kings in the 70s. Gimme a break. Get it over and who cares if the big market Lakers win.

I really have to say most of the playoff games I have seen (or viewed clips) were exciting although I too like a faster pace.

All I really needed was to have the Suns in the playoffs to make it interesting for me. I can hardly wait for the off season excitement of the draft and free agency.

Yes, let's get the playoffs over with so I can focus even more on the Suns.

Every series in the second round was great. The first time in NBA history for all the semi's to be tied up at 2-2 I think. 2 game 7's, the first of which was great to watch. A miraculous comeback by the Lakers (I still hate them, but that was something), the Nets might also get a good comeback. Not to mention the Heat scaring the Pacers a little bit.

I would have to say this round alone has been the best in a few years.

I agree that it has been an excellent second round.

The only blemish, in my opinion, has been the dominance of the home court. By my count we have had 25 games so far in this round, with the home team being 19-6 in those games.

It takes away some of the drama when the home team ends up winning more than 75% of the time. But other than that, they have been good to watch.

Are you crazy?

I don't care if the score is low, I care if the games are close. I like the stories being woven.

I can't wait to watch the Wolves vrs the Lakers.

Well, I am not really bored with playoffs this year. There were some good games. I am really dissapointed by Sacramento and San Antonio though.

I have followed basketball since the 60's and am spoiled by the old NBA. The over/under on games right up through the 80's was about 220 + points. I can't get excited by 150 ( total ) point games. I think Basketball is a game of action. This era of basketball is going the way of Hockey. Low scoring wholesale mugging. How anyone can get excited by 20 seconds of someone dribbling the ball in place 30 feet from the basket and then throwing up some lame ass shot as the clock expires is beyond me. How can Dallas, San Antonio, Sacramento go through the season averaging over 100 points a game switch to 70 point tactics is absurd. Ratings and attendance are down and even David Stern, who created this roadblock has admitted things have to change.
