Is there a mercy rule in the NBA?

Damn.

1. only if the players are decent

[gratuitous]

2. Welcome to playing the Big Boy Conference, Cleveland

I'd like to see James take his talents to the Western Conference and find out how great he is. As things are now, whichever Eastern Conference team has James goes to the Finals. That's all right as far as it goes, but how would James fare on a team that had to face Golden State four times a season (as well as San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Los Angeles and - what the heck - Portland)?

3. Rough game

I hope cleveland can step it up a notch and at least make the two upcoming games in Cle competitive. The game tonight was a bit painful to watch ;/

5. The NBA has been going to mid June for awhile now

I can recall the Finals in '87 wrapping up on my last day of school

7. The damn plalyoffs seem to last longer than the regular season...

...ON and ON and ON and ON and ON and ON...... Ridiculous.

11. Two days inbetween every game of the finals.

Totally unnecessary.

12. The NBA season goes through every federal holiday on the calendar except for July 4th and Labor Day

It's incredible.

[Iggo]

8. Yep, first to four wins it and they don't have to play rest.

[geek tragedy]

9. it's kind of like the National League champion playing in the world series against the winner of

the Pacific Coast League.
