Bah, I thought i was a big basketball fan. I think i'm just a horrid LA fan.
I haven't been paying attention to the playoffs since the mavs lost to the spurs in the Western Conference Championship, and i can't get excited about the tremendous fundamentals of Tim Duncan. Sure his bank shots are nice to watch, but that's it really, he's a silent player and he plays with almost no emotion.
The Nets are bleh, I would've rather seen Walker and Pierce, rather than Kidd and Martin (though martin is great to watch)... so maybe i'm not just an LA fan... I think I would've rather seen any other teams besides the two that are there, fundamentals and defense just isn't as exciting as it is in baseball.
