How boring are the NBA Playoffs? Last year I told the NBA to do away with the East-West seeding brackets by simpling installing a 1 through 16 seeding bracket. If I could have seen Phoenix and Dallas in a high scoring Finals I would have been happy. As it is I will tune in to see what San Antonio and Detroit have to say.
I think basketball is swooning now because of the nature of athleticism and the parameters of the game itself. What if the goal were heightened three more feet? This would stop all these ridiculous dunks and maybe SHAQUILLE O’NEAL would start jumping again. I would totally support the use of dwarfs as basketballs. The NBA tried that bullshit microfiber ball this season and everyone hated it. Dwarfs are better as long as you don’t dribble them by their chipped teeth.
How about letting defenders use baseball bats to stop ball handlers from attempting layups? That should be good for a little cross-sport synergy with America’s favorite pastime. I just know that Major League Baseball would totally subscribe to almost anything right now to appear hip again. How about free cocaine night at the arenas and the ballparks?
Damn, I am like a marketing wizard.
