everybody to it. sports been ranked with Stevo NBA basketball
you watch the playoffs they begin this weekend and you just think
at least I did hey NBA where the fuck have you been the last 32 games
agreed other than couple storylines rather season
wanna which was Indiana's implosion the last couple months
I and the soap opera oh the necks and the Lakers
yes other than that it's been a a very good ol GGE
and long season yeah and it's just that baseball
there the playoffs there's a instant playoff intensity there's no question
football the games are so intense in there so few of them that I don't know
that there's a
significant increase from the regular season to the
playoffs and football but it is so dramatic
in basketball everything is different arm
and I'm little surprised by it and try does try to figure out
what is different about playoff basketball because it's not as if these
guys
take the season of and i think im judge
tell me what you think I'm just way at all I know when they came up with is
nonsensical 82-game season which we all now acknowledges to law
this was a game played by a couple 7-footers who legendarily banged into
each other
by Chamberlain and Russell artis Gilmore that ilk
and then it was a lot of finesse players who shot
running one-hander since skill dribble urs and
defense that was position defense and in the last
whatever thirty years but progressing and certainly in the licence the bad
boys in the last twenty years
it has become a tremendously physical game
and these guys can't play 82 games like that you can't the human body cannot
play 82 games have this much bang
the guy should played twice a week at most and so
they you human nature causes them to go a little easy during the regular season
I i think thats very large is true on top of that
i think is hard to really care for 82 games in a row
I really think you when like it becomes very clear
that you're gonna make the playoffs yes like Bradley mix Hawks
battle for the eighth seed was not terribly captivating
now so especially 13 that Scott you to me you know for sure to make the
playoffs
like those top six in the top seven teams in the West six teams in the West
anyway
the Golden State up there's an anti and you later especially for
a Miami you know yeah me too bright alright and you don't really need
a higher ceiling because you in one game on the road now have home-court
advantage
soho you'd spend now I mean does make any logical rational status said
on the energy for 82 games and risk n/a and there's a significant risk to it so
yeah I i think thats
yeah I mean you know I'm sorry been to IMEA games we are seated pretty close
the
the floor to make you can hear them talking you can get until the body
language and dig
delivery don't care to me they're laughing in you know is that the
February game don't care
that is telling but what is also telling I'm about 12 Hawks
Spurs game back when the Hawks were at their lowest point mike
2005-06 AM off on the years but they were good
and that stadium in atlanta that beautiful
Philips Arena in was the it's like going to a high school game in 15 minutes
before the game that bell like there were six hundred people there I'm sure
there were three thousand but it felt like hundreds
and it just doesn't feel like an NBA game
that is doing to your point and there were some taking plays off
that said sitting on the floor Tim Duncan
got pounded every possession every time down
Bank Bank bank I mean it'll it's not quite plainly often supply in the NFL
but it's the closest thing in sports that we have two at the most consistent
contact
hockey has some tremendous hits but there is not consistent
pounding pounding pounding possession after possession for guys certainly on
the interior
so other I think that's part of it you know baseball part of the
story a baseball is that not many teams make the playoffs and there's this
incredibly long season but it is not
nearly its physical cuz it's a sport but it's nothing compared to the India
me because we wrap up this segment on just sort of what it is about playoff
basketball John Wall
playing in his first playoff game great player point guard for the was written
by the way
come on hello the bomb wall and play in the postseason he says
it's very intense I've watched it going i watch it going to a couple games
but it's a lot different when you're on the court there was one segment
when I really couldn't breathe when I was going up and down the floor
so the announcement from an all-star
that he was tense he was nervous in the emotion guest you so there is something
markedly different about the NBA Playoffs
ok
