I kinda hate to say this, but it's the truth and I think everyone already knows it. Now that the Boston/Chicago series has been pushed to a deciding game 7 on the heels of 4 overtime games (and a total of seven overtime periods), there is no way any of the following playoff series can top this one. Don't get me wrong, I think there's some more exciting basketball left to be played, but how can we expect any of them to be as thrilling or competitive as this one? Aside from game 3, EVERY game in the series has come down to the last 3 or 4 seconds and no game has been decided by more than 3 points. It has literally been an NBA fans dream. It sucks they can't just continue to play one another for the next month and a half. We can (almost) safely say that LeBron and Kobe will respectively coast towards the finals to face each other, and that series may have some fireworks, but we've easily seen the best this years playoffs have to offer.
