These NBA Playoffs really haven’t done all that much for me so far this season. In fact, I’ve found them to be predictable and boring. The four teams most picked to be in the conference finals are there and to date I haven’t seen anything which would lead me to believe Golden State isn’t going to repeat as league champions and winners for the third time in four seasons.
The Stanley Cup Playoffs have been much, much, much better where four teams who weren’t in the conference finals last season have given the games some real drama.
Pittsburgh, Boston, and Nashville were all eliminated in the second round. The threepeat for Sid and the Penguins is a dream of the past.
Instead what we’ve had is a magical run by the Las Vegas expansion team, a dream season for the Winnipeg Jets, a rock solid Tampa Bay club showing why they were the No. 1 seed in the East, and Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Caps playing the best hockey of his life.
Great stuff.
I haven’t missed a game. Whereas with the NBA—I only halfway watch the games in segments because unless Steve Kerr does the worst coaching job in the history of the league it should be Golden State hoisting another trophy.
