No drama at all, boring games, too many sweeps.  The playoffs were so much better years ago.  It seems like the Suns, Mavs, Spurs and Lakers had some amazing 6 and 7 game series in the last decade, and in the 90s it was the same for the Pacers and Knicks, plus you had Jordan and the Bulls.  Remember the Lakers-Kings and Lakers-Blazers series?  True, the league gave the series to the Lakers back then but they were unbelievably dramatic games.  The Kings in 2002 were one of the best teams ever – the best passing team I’ve ever seen.  Back in the 78 series the Washington Bullets got by the Iceman and the Doctor, beating the Spurs and Sixers in 6 games each, then outlasted the Sonics in 7 games, winning the title on Seattle’s home floor.  The quality of play is much worse now.  We can only hope for a 7 game series between the Lakers and the Celtics.
