Well, the drama has really been leaking out of these playoffs. The Celtics swept the Pacers in the Eastern Conference final, while Dallas hammered the T-Wolves four games to one. And neither of the first two games of the final had much drama. Here were the scores (home team listed first):
Boston 107 - 89 Dallas
Boston 105 - 98 Dallas
I stopped watching the first game about halfway through the first quarter. For Game Two, I tuned in with about three minutes left in the third quarter, and turned it off again with about eight minutes left in the game.
Of course, it's not over yet -- Dallas has two home games coming up. But if they don't play much better, this season will end soon.
On May 30, Dallas beat Minnesota 124-103 to win the Western Conference. Then there were no games played in the NBA until June 6 -- one week later. They played Game One of the Finals on June 6, and Boston won by 18 points. Then they played Game Two on June 9. Today is June 11, and they aren't going to play Game Three until June 12. So by the time we get to June 13, they will have played three games in two weeks.
