National Basketball Association Playoffs

So I was challenged by a friend to write a little bit about the NBA. And since there is nothing good about the NBA, I'll leave it at this. Just kidding. Here are my thoughts about the NBA playoffs thus far. This is for you GB......

I haven't been able to watch very many games due to the glorious fact that my wife and I do not have cable so we are only able to watch games that come on ABC. So, with that said I have not seen any of the Eastern Conference Finals and only saw 1 of the Bulls games, and that was when they dominated the Heat. So, this postseason I have become a big Spurs fan. Which is surprising to me because I usually do not like teams that always win but for some reason I seem to gravitate to the San Antonio Spurs. Oh wait, I know why, because they play FUNDAMENTAL basketball as a team and a unit. Maybe that's why they have 3 championship banners in the past 6 years or something like that. This I might add, is something that the Suns, Mavericks, and Cavaliers do not have. Sure, they have superstar athletes who put up big numbers, but they are also the ones who are already out of the playoffs and did it whining the whole time. (well, the CAVS are still in and are looking good against Detroit) I gloried in the fact that the untouchable Suns were scorched by the boring, 'dirty', fundamental Spurs. I put the 'dirty' in quotations because that is just silly. I guess people have forgotten what a hard foul means. Plus, Steve Nash totally flopped his way into that mess. Before the Playoffs started and the match-ups were revealed I was gloating to some of the middle schoolers that the Warriors were going to beat the Mavs. In a way I was just joking and just wanted to ruffle some feathers but then when the reality started to kick in, I began to back Golden State. Kudos to the Mavs for running through the regular season and then flopping in the Playoffs...it reminded me too much about the Jayhawks of Kansas.

Also, just to put this out there so that it will be on record, Steve Nash will never win the NBA championship. No matter which team he ends up being on or who you put around him, they will not win. I don't know why I said that, but that's what comes to my mind when I think of Steve Nash.

Let me give you my all NBA team (current players). These are guys who are selfless and care more about winning and team basketball than putting up the numbers or the high flying, death defying, amazing highlight reels. Here they are: Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobli, Michael Finley, and Robert Horry. Hmmm...sound familiar.
