I don’t know if I’ve ever seen worse basketball than whats going on in the NBA finals this year. These teams are barely averaging 20 points per quarter. At one point in the game, the Nets missed 13 straight shots on their way to an 11-point third quarter. And the Spurs… they only shot 29% last night. 3-point shooting was horrendous with the Spurs shooting 22%, the Nets shooting 11%. That’s fugly! Yet I keep watching. I guess I think that it can only get better. It is a nice to have a competitive series for a change though, but thank God I can speed through these games on my TiVo. Otherwise I’d be fast asleep by the end of the first quarter.
Yeah, this is the first year ever that I haven’t watched a whole Finals game. First of all, the matchup doesn’t intrigue me. Secondly, the matchup doesn’t intrugue me and; lastly, the matchup doesn’t intrigue me…
I missed last night’s game. But I was straight APPALLED at Game 3, not to mention surprised (my first full finals). That was one of the ugliest NBA playoff games I have ever seen indeed. I actually think I would prefer to watch a finals where one team dominated because they played so well rather than a game that is competitive because each team is trying to be worse than the other!
