The 2007 Playoffs are getting... Boring

With Detroit up 3-0 over the Bulls, Cleveland ahead 2-zip over the Nets, and playoff-history-makers Golden State now down 2 to nothing against the Jazz. It seems that the NBA Playoffs are getting... yawn... boring. Maybe it's just that my team isn't playing anymore. Or maybe we're getting nearer and nearer to a repeat of the 2005 NBA Finals San Antonio versus Detroit, which most say was the most uneventful and boring finals series for the past few years.
Anyway, what I really mean is: there are no more subplots to hold the story. Last year, we had Wade, Nowtzki's 3-point play against the Spurs, Detroit's collapse against Shaq and the Heat, Kobe against the Suns, a number of Game 7s. Last year's NBA Playoffs was the best. Ever.Now that the 1st round upsets are over. There are no more side stories to hold it all together. Sure there's Amare whining against San Antonio's "dirty" players. There are even articles about how the Jazz-Warriors series reperesnts the old vs. new style of NBA Playoff basketball. But is that it? Pfft. For a die-hard NBA fan, it's getting harder to watch the playoffs. I couldn't imagine what a casual fan would like this year.
