Not meaning to be derogatory here, but i just find so many American sports pointless and simplistic.
How can they compare to a Test in Cricket , an AFL or Football (Soccer) game. We could even throw in Rugby union too

That offensive foul called on Melo with 2 mins in the fourth was a terrible call. Its the playoffs, the refs should allow a little contact and let them play. Celtics will win this series in 6 or less.

As opposed to Soccer? When often nothing at all happens for the entire length of the match?

CORRECTION: when only the last 20% of the season matter, also known as the PLAYOFFS

You either get it or you don't.... Different sports have different thrills - except for baseball, of course. And cricket - come on, if you're over 12 playing it, you probably live in your mom's basement too

Yeah, and talk about over-acting.... When you can CLEARLY see on replay that nothing has happened, but yet two (or more) grown men are on the grass grimacing - it's just laughable...

I agree.

Jermaine O played great last night but he can't keep that up. Shaq looks so outta shape he should quit now. I always liked Perks attitude. A real tough guy that couldnt score but he made up for that.

Im actually predicting Oklahoma C. To go deep.

Heck with basketball, as long as the Yankees top the Sox(as usual) all is right in the world.
