6ers aren't ready. The lack of no calls on both sides drove me nuts.
 
With the minutes the young players for Boston is getting, if Hayward and Irving get and stay healthy Boston will be scary good next year.
 
This is where I drop in to say how absolutely awful these playoffs have been.

The East could be really interesting at the top next year if Lebron stays in Cleveland. You'd have three championship caliber teams in Cleveland, Boston and Philly plus some interesting middle class teams in Indy, Miami and Milwaukee. Who knows what the Raptors and Wizards will look like next year...it seems like both have a very defined ceiling. Blow it up or just tweak a few things and run it back next year?
 
I agree for the most part. There have been some flashes here and there but by and large the second round has been kind of a snoozer.

The East series have been good games almost all close to being decided at the end. Celtics and Cavs have finished and built 3-0 leads, but there have been comebacks, buzzer beaters and OT game mixed in. The West games have been blowouts and I agree lacking real drama.
No worries though, barring an unexpected turn in the series, I am excited to see how a final four of Celtics, Cavs, Rockets, and Warriors play out over the next 3 weeks.
 
I will have to see what Philadelphia does roster wise before calling them championship caliber. They look funny in the light against a depleted Celtics team.
