I was hoping the Kings would win and make it an interesting finals for a change.

I think I'll stick with the Stanley Cup and World Cup for my thrills. I've only been a hockey fan for 6-7 years, but I think that any Stanley Cup final with any two teams is better than any other sports championship.

All the NBC NBA commentators are too self-important and insufferable for my tastes.

The best NBA playoff game that I saw this year was the Kings-Mavericks game in which the Mavericks won. If every NBA game could be like that one!
