NBA Playoffs Will Be Longer In First Round, This Sucks - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I read on the NBA website that they're gonna prolong the first round of the playoffs this yr to seven games instead of the best out of 5. That's gonna make the series even longer which i think sucks. They should've kept it the way they've been doing it which is having it as the best out of 5 so u can get the first round of the playoffs over with. See that's a advantage for the Lakers if they do make the playoffs. The Lakers are tied for the 8th spot right now with Houston.

I see nothing wrong with extending the 1st round because it will show how good the top 3 teams are in both the Eastern and Western Conference. So the pressure will be on Indiana, Detriot, New Jersey, Sacremento, Dallas and San Antonio.

It just makes it easier for the Lakers to win again.

Hey Brian, don't be a Laker hater, just give the lakers credit when they win again.

I'm sorry, but I don't hate the Lakers, I just wish to see other teams win. That's good for basketball.

Well nobody was complaining when the chicago bulls was winning every year in the 90's.

Yeah, really. One of the reasons I don't like the NBA - one good team gets all the glory for about a million seasons in a row, and no one else can match up to them. At least there's different champs and "good" teams in college bball every year.

College Basketball has TOO MANY TEAMS for me to follow.
