how about that celtics, bulls series?

anyone here from either chi-town or bean town? this could be the single best series, save for one game, i've ever seen. it has gotten to the point that a game decided in regulation seems like a lesser game.

good luck from a bulls fan if you are out there. there are no moral victories. and i'd hate to lose this one. but i sure am glad i had a chance to witness this. this...is why i watch sports.

I have a question.

This is first round of the playoffs, right? And it's a best of seven series, am I correct?

Doesn't anyone get really bored that these things get strung out like that? How many rounds of playoffs are there? I get having a best of seven for the World Series, for example, but for early rounds of playoffs I just don't understand. Surely it takes about three weeks to get it done!

valid argument. the first round used to be the best of 5. that changed several years back, probably only for television revenue. the postseason lasts way too long for many. as long as a month and a half. it is probably too long...unless your team is playing :wink:
