surely the Lakers took it to another level but that was not the first time I've seen a team lose without even putting up a fight lately in the NBA.

I don't watch much NBA anymore but among the few playoff games I did see this season, I've seen the Magic give up a series to the Hawks as if it was no big deal and the Knicks come out as a high school team against the Celtics, although that one I'm not sure it's the players fault or if they are really a high school team compared to a real NBA team.

these thuggish, millionaire, lackluster players finished the NBA for me. my last hope was to watch an epic Celtics-Heat series but no too...
