I can understand the product being boring but the complaint about defense is kind of silly ><Sgt.

Only time you need two days is when you go between the two cities.
Thus my Halley's Comet joke......the NBA playoffs are ridiculously long. Especially now that everyone knows it's a foregone conclusion which two teams will be in the finals.
I had last night's game on for barely the first quarter before I got bored, turned the station and never went back. Watching two teams dunk and layup 200 times cause no one plays any defense anymore is a terrible product.
I know I'm in the minority cause NBA ratings are through the roof, but it's no bueno for a casual basketball fan like me.
Golden state statistically is one of the best defenses in NBA history and they just held one of the best offenses in NBA history to 25 points under their playoff average.
I think it's just hard to watch truly dominant teams play ball against inferior opponents and that's always been true in the NBA... I mean shoot even the 1987 Finals, Lakers vs Celtics, statistically the two best teams to ever meet in the finals had two games where the Lakers were on pace for 150 before resting starters... they finished with 141 points and 128 points.
