The Lakers were down most of the game, but they came back.
The fourth quarter was close I think the whole quarter.
And the Lakers won by three with an incredible shot by the injured LeBron James.
(He got accidentally got poked in the eye and had trouble seeing.)
True, the Lakers didn't play that well, but they won, and they will be in the Playoffs!
I don't think the Play-In games are thought out very well, but they make things exciting.
I think to be more fair, teams should have to win 3 out of 5 games to make it to the Playoffs.
Of course, my solution isn't perfect either, but winning 1 or 2 games to make it to the Playoffs relies too much on luck because anything can happen in just 1 or 2 games.
The Suns won Game 6, so they're going to The Finals.
It's nice to finally see a team that I am rooting for advance in the playoffs.
I also like it when my team plays aggressively, but poised.
To be "poised" in this case means to not commit any stupid fouls, not to get into foul trouble, not to commit flagrant fouls, and to avoid getting technicals.
I don't think my teams are always poised, but it's nice when it happens.
...
Now all that's to be decided is who will win in the East.
I like the Bucks, but their best player is injured and won't play tonight, so who knows?
I quit watching NBA and NFL games years ago, now may have to stop MLB as well. I refuse to give any time or effort to people payed millions to play a game and the to whine about politics. If they must, then do it off the field of play and put your money where your mouth is. Do something to help the south side of Chicago, LA or New York and stop whining!
