Agreed. I can guarantee I won't see a single minute unless it's Jazz-Cavs, and that's through no great love of either team (although Cleveland is SO due for a win; given Buffalo's unlikely hopes, all my karmic power goes towards them).
We're making predictions every round now? Because I don't need to make any changes to my original pick, Spurs over Pistons. I guess I'm the only one who wants to see the two best teams in the Finals.

If Cleveland and Utah win, doesn't that make them the two best teams?
I'm praying for the Cavs, and I think the Spurs will win the West.
GO CAVS.

I'm in as trey bien as that was the most clever basketball name I could think of at the time (and I admit its not that good). Why the heck are there only 4 people in this league and 5 in hockey?
