Perfectly stated.

The finals should be rather crushing.

I agree, there is no more heart, determination, or pure balls in any other postseason than NHL playoffs.

Also, the NHL has never had a 7 vs 8 in the conference finals up until this year.....That just shows how the heart and will of a team can propel them on to greatness. I mea Philly cut it about as close as you can get. They won a shoot out, the last game of the season, to barely make the playoffs.....now they are in contention to win Lord Stanley's Cup!!! The Holy Grail of Hockey!!!!


on that note, Go Chicago lol

I don't think either of them or great, but I have more gripes with the regular season. Way too long, Basketball shouldn't be played in june.

Might I add there should be no baseball in November and college football should end on Jan 1?

On the topic at hand, normally I'd say basketball but this postseason has been very boring and overshadowed by the Lebronathon.

I should say NHL too because of the Bruins and Flyers series. Flyers has been a major surprise this playoffs, unless the Orlando Magic will pull a Flyers-like comeback against the celtics, NHL is way much better.

I say the NBA (though I love what my Flyers are doing).

I just checked the TV ratings for the NHL and NBA playoffs and it looks like the NBA by a mile.

The best post season hands down is the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament and it's not even close. The NBA playoffs are much better than the NHL playoffs. The NHL is still playing? Who knew? Anyone that doesn't think the NBA is good basketball 1) hasn't watched the last couple of years and 2) doesn't know basketball.

I got to give it to the NBA this year. Lakers/Celtics is about the best matchup you can have.

NHL post season is way more intense than NBA. I don't ever hear anything on the NBA. But that could also be because Pittsburgh doesn't have a team.

i can't stand hockey, then again i can't stand pro basketball either. but i don't like hockey more than i don't like nba basketball. so i'll go with NBA. out of all american sports, baseball is definitely the most compelling. however, it is a fact that soccer is the greatest sport on earth, and the champion's league finals really have no legitimate rival.

I think I've solved the NBA's problems. Fire all NBA refs, then take all of the refs for women's college basketball. Seriously, then do a much better job.

Then fine though the roof for flopping. I hate flopping. In basketball and in soccer. There is no flopping in football or hockey, and they are much more physical. How about 20K a flop? Sounds good to me. When did everyone lose all of their pride and dignity? I don't really know, but probably the first time they got a favorable call due to flopping.

Next more replay. Replay replay replay. Get the call right. I might be a Celtics fan, but no way Ray Allen's shot hit the rim to beat the shot clock in game 5. (That goes for MLB too. I'm talking to you Bud Selig. Easy fix. Make umpire crews 5 men, and put one of them in the booth with a T.V. A close play at first, he makes the call in 2 seconds. All Joe West or Jeffery Mayer situations averted.)

I can't agree more with everything you said. Baseball really needs to get with the program and put an umpire in a booth with a few TVs. And I just never got into the whole NBA thing. I feel like as soon as a team goes on defense, they stop trying as hard. Thats why I stick to the NCAA. They go hard no matter which side of the court they are on. Go Pitt

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
