And in the process no matter who wins you've got a great storyline for the next round and the feels are all pumped up for the playoffs. Make things interesting equals more money. And that's ignoring that more games equals more profits for the NBA specially since both arenas have to be selling out or close to it.

Boston isn't overhyped! They won 60+ games.

My Hawks is just better now.

They always call a foul in that situation where the guy is on the ground.

Not really. Usually they call it because they trip the guy that falls on them. Horford when right back up, no harm done.

For sure. It's just that the refs in the WC playoffs didn't get the memo. That is the only explanation for the Lakers sweeping the Nugs and Sun-Spurs (should've been the greatest 1st round series of all time) going only 5 games.

Fixed. There's a huge difference between best team in the NBA and the team with the best regular season record. See Mavericks and Spurs last year. See Celtics and Spurs this year (When it's all said and done.)

Well yes that is a given. They've got a great young team that is matchup hell. Horford and Smith are an extremely effective frontcourt that breaks the mold in terms of playing style. Overall, they're playing like the Suns on steroids only with added defense.
