The NBA Playoffs - Almost as good as March Madness
During the regular season, I didn’t watch a single NBA game on television. Not one. Yet, here I am, losing quite a bit of sleep these days because of the NBA playoffs. Somehow, the playoffs have managed to lure me in just like the witch lured those two little fat bastard kids into her house in Hansel and Gretel. (If that’s not a perfect story about what might happen if you eat too much as a child, I don’t know what is. It's a pretty freaking scary story, ranking right up there with that prayer that kids say before they go to sleep in which they talk about dying before they wake up in the morning. I can understand if President Ford is saying that to himself before shuteye each night, but kids still in the single digit years? That’s got to be great for their psyches!) Anyway, the playoffs have been utterly amazing. If you’re even a marginal basketball fan, but are turned off to the NBA because of all the thug players, give the playoffs a try. For the first time in a very long time, the NBA really is FANTASTIC!

Probably helps that Kobe Bryant and the Lakers have already been eliminated.
The NBA Playoffs need to show a little parity before they can be compared to March Madness. Oh, and maybe they could take less than two months.
