With some very complete teams, I found it to be much more enjoyable than today's game, despite today's speed, range, individual dribble-drive skillset, and athleticism.

As a general rule, I dislike "back in the day" syndrome, but I have to agree with this. 1980s NBA was so much more exciting than today's game. I think if you dropped the mid-80s Hawks into 2011, they'd be one of the very best teams, and they were sort of an afterthought in that era.

And if these are the most exciting NBA playoffs ever, the league should fold. BTW - it's not. Two 5-game conference championship series ain't the stuff of which legends are made. Though I am very excited for the Heat-Mavs Finals.

This. I've enjoyed the playoffs, but there haven't been a lot of good series. I'm also really pumped about the Finals, and think that will be a great series.

Also, another comment on Griffin's dunk...it was weak shite that he jumped over the hood of the car. Every time I see the super slow-motion commercial, it pisses me off that people hype it up so much.
