Would that be a disaster?

Clevland is just lebron dribbling around while his teamates wait for him to do something. Utah is showing how good of a team they are but they really aren't that good of a team to say they are an NBA champion.

Would that prove the NBA is getting weak or does Detroit and the spurs making it already confirm that the rest of the league is just terrible?

good thing that neither will advance.

I think that other teams making the conf. finals is a good thing and develops interest down the road. Deron is now on the big stage, as is Booz being valid for his money and not just a Throw in for some Frye trade.

A spurs-Piston final is the creme rising to the top.

I can't stand watching the Cavs play. I saw them in person last season and we just sat there and mumbled that the Lebron Show really is not much fun. Sure the highlights are fun, but the isolations are really not.

Same with the KOBE SHOW also.

Basketball is a team sport.

Suns are a blast to watch. Knicks with Balky and Lee cleaning up was good basketballs. Ball hogging Marb and Craw settling for long jumps with 3 secs on the 24 is not.

Nice advances for both teams, Utah was looking like bunk as recently as last year.

But SA and Detroit are still the class of the NBA. Others stand a chance year to year, but those two are the perennial favorites. it's right that they should meet and if they do it will be boring and sublime at the same time. Should go the distance, in classic grind it out fashion.
