I love the NBA Playoffs, but this year it just seems like something is missing. No Bulls vs Heat matchup to look forward to. Everything seems a little meh to me. Maybe things will get better in the semfinals....I still wish we can fast forward to the Heat and Thunder.

what are the chances they don't meet?

I hate the Spurs...but there's a decent chance it's Spurs v. Heat in the finals.

The Clippers/Grizzlies series has been the only one that has kept my interest so far. First round has been very meh.

Hopefully some of these other matchups will heat up.

lakers - thunder has a great story line.

the potential EC finals matchup of Bos-Mia is also intriguing to me.

i love this game

I am definitely cheering for the Clippers...but I don't give them much more than a 10% to beat the Spurs...

Between Ginobili, Griffin, Evans, and Paul, the flopping of the Spurs v Clippers will rival that of the EPL.

I think the Lakers/Thunder series will be a good one.

I want to pick the Thunder to destory the Lakers, but as much as I hate to admit it, the Lakers aren't done yet. When you got 2 bigs like that (when they show up) they're tough. Nobody else has that. OKC has bodies, but the bigs for L.A. can defend and score.

Thunder in 7

this is true! but I have to say nobody flops more than the Spurs. This is why I generally dislike them, in addition to their sour faces when calls don't go their way. They bring flopping and complaining to another level.

Spurs will take out the Clips in 5 games, tops. And if you think Spurs' basketball is boring, tough titty

Lakers/Nuggets series wasn't boring IMO.

Clippers/Grizz wasn't either.

OKC/LAL will be good, but the other second round series will be meh, but hopefully I'm wrong.

Indiana and Miami could be pretty fun to watch, too.

the clippers do. And by a pretty wide margin, if you're just going off this season.

I think the way this season started out made these playoffs boring, maybe thats just me though. These bitches pissed me off, all of them, owners too. Its like they tainted the game for me.... I couldnt wait till baseball season started.

This. The Spurs (yes, including Manu) really don't flop as much anymore as most people think they do. Clippers far outstrip them in that category.

You must not have had a TV yesterday. The Griz/Clips game was one of the more physical, entertaining games I've watching in a while. The Pacers/Heat game was pretty good too.

I watched both these games and enjoyed them. If you can't enjoy a close game 7 in the playoffs...something is wrong.
