a lesson from the playoffs

(I just can't stand having a MLB story at the top of the page.)

For all the talk of the NBA following the Suns' lead and switching to an up-tempo full-court style (hello Toronto!), just take a look at the playoffs so far. The two "best," most entertaining teams, GSW and PHX, are done. And why? Because they came up against two defensive teams. The Spurs defense is awe-inspiring. The way that they're able to shut down the Suns' 3-point attack made Nash's offense the focus of the scoring. That can only go so far.

Do I like watching San Antonio or Utah or Detroit play? No. I won't be watching many more games this post season. But they're proving that D wins it.

So okay, I guess the Bucks should pick Oden if the opportunity is there.

Watch it and then watch it again. Watching GS play at home is my new found NBA playoff joy. I hope they advance so we can see them play SA/PHO. Of course, GS should be playing PHO right now and SA playing UTAH, but we don't always get what we want.
