    When I say easy I mean that it's to easy to score. It's just not impressive if you're scoring 30-40 times a game and each score is less of an event IMO. I know that I would have trouble scoring every time but the pros get payed a lot of money to practice that shit every day.

    And the speed isn't a factor in it being boring, in fact it probably contributes to the boredom factor for me. The court is pretty small anyway. I enjoy watching the best plays and everything, but a full game is just too boring for me.
    The broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes... Adolf Hitler

    Yeah, I can see that side of it.
    I just dont like soccer when the players put in all this effort with no points to show for it.
    Even (American) Football reflects effort and skill in points more accurately.

    2nd Round is taking shape:

    Lakers (1/2 Kobe) vs. Jazz (-Okur, Kirilenko)
    -Jazz wont have an easy time against the opposing defense this round
    -No kirilenko to match up with Odom, no Okur to challenge Bynum.
    -Lakers in 5

    Suns (-Lopez) vs. Spurs
    -Suns are the better team, but the Spurs have the better (cheap, cheating) coach who could probly beat the Lakers with the Clippers (-Camby).
    -Spurs have been unable to stop Amare, even without Lopez
    -Suns will need home court for this one: Suns in 7

    Cavs (1/2 Lebron) vs. Celtics
    -Lebron will get over his elbow in 1 or 2 games max
    - Cavs in 6

    Hawks/Bucks vs. Magic
    -With Dwight in the frontcourt and all the Magic's perimeter shooters, they're just too much for either team
    -Magic over Bucks in 5
    -Magic over Hawks in 6

    Semi-Finals:

    Lakers vs. Suns (+Lopez)

    Cavs vs. Magic
