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...
Knicks lost because Boston was the better team.
As for your opinion about the players, let me show you the contrast: the players on the Memphis and Oklahoma City teams. Or hell even Dallas for that matter. They're hustling and haulin' ass, they want to win, they're hungry, they're not simply looking up for the next endorsement commercial shoot. (Memphis especially.)
Doesn't that make an impression on you?
