Well, we got who wanted us and who we expected. We better come ready to play. It will be a fun series with Pierce, Garnett and Johnson coming to our building. Its been a great bunch of playoff series, but there are cynics.

I was talking to a friend of mine who laughed that the NBA managed to keep their ratings up and still get the desired teams to advance. He said of course Indiana, The Thunder, LA Clippers, the Nets and Spurs would advance because that is just what the NBA wants. I tried to explain to no-avail that it just worked out that way, but he said and this before the weekend that the only one they don't care about is Portland and Houston.

Correct - they werent ready in 2011 against Dallas

I think the league would have liked to see Chicago advance...

speaking of ratings, I dont think the NBA is too worried about ratings having scheduled the Heat to play on ESPN 2 for game 2, will have to make it to the arena or find a place to watch the game if I cant get an online feed since i dont have ESPN 2

They stomp dallas in game 1, had a double digit lead midway thru the 4th in game 2.

Yeah they weren't ready.

Just because you lose a series doesn't mean you weren't ready for the series

Coming from you - it is no surprise that you seem to consider a team losing in a playoff series a good thing.

of course it meant they werent ready and many other negative things
