No kidding.  The NBA playoffs are SO long.  And it would certainly seem that inevitably it'll be Cavs/Lakers.

By my estimation, we have about 6 weeks until the Cavs-Lakers series. Wake me up then

The playoffs are very long, yes... but after seeing things like Golden State knock off the 67 win Mavs, or Lebron's performance in Detroit a few years back, I would never want to "sleep" through the playoffs.

Maybe not, but the first round used to be best of 5 and I thought it should have remained that way.  Sure, a series like Boston-Chicago might be interesting right now but we don't need best of 7 to determine that the Lakers, Cavs, and Nuggets are going to advance. I also think best of 5 creates a little more urgency around these first round games, it could even provide for some more Golden State like upsets.

Yeah, we knew Boston would go from the worst team in the league to NBA champions within a year.

They barely scraped into the finals... 7 games against Atlanta & Cleveland, a few plays go differently and everything changes.  Like I already mentioned, Dallas won 67 games a few years ago and got bounced in the first round.  Of course Cavs / Lakers seems like a solid call at this point, but nothing is set in stone... and ^ is 100% correct, I won't complain about too many games either.

Im just saying the NBA is the most predictable sport...you mentioned the Mavericks winning 67 games, but everyone knew they were soft..And I didnt know anyone that was surprised when Golden State bounced them out, i actually had money on the Warriors in 5, that was hardly an upset...

youre right though..nothing is set in stone, people can always get injured...but thats the only variable...The NBA is the most predictable sport, The Bulls, Celtics, Lakers, Pistons, Rockets and Spurs have practically won every NBA championship in the last 30 years.  The Miami Heat managed to sneak one in..The only upset to happen in all those years was when the Pistons beat...guess who, the Lakers!  It is always the same teams winning the title . Now the flip side to this is the best team ALWAYS wins the championship, so it can be said that the NBA always has the most legitimate champion of all the pro sports...It is just boring for the fans sometimes...

Iverson in Charlotte

Three readers emailed me overnight and this morning, to say they'd seen Allen Iverson in uptown Charlotte Thursday. Charlotte Bobcats general manager Rod Higgins was adamant Friday morning that has nothing to do with the local NBA team.

"I've never seen him here,'' Higgins told me. "If he's here, it has nothing to do with us.''

One alternative explanation: 50 Cent is performing in Charlotte Friday night, and Iverson is a reportedly a big fan. But still, all this begs the question about Iverson becoming a free agent in July.

Iverson is an intriguing name because he potentially brings two things: Scoring (the Bobcats were 29th among 30 teams) and some star power to sell tickets (the Bobcats were 26th in home attendance).

That was a joke. They seemed real eager to go on summer vacation.

Chris Paul is regarded pretty highly right now... but that showing yesterday was pathetic!  Is he considered a top 5 players in the league?  Could you imagine Lebron or Kobe allowing their team to lose at home in the playoffs by 58 points with a stat line of 4 points and 6 turnovers? 

Ouch.
