No doubt they have. I am just waiting on the second round match ups, then things should start getting interesting. I want to see Clippers vs Warriors or Clippers vs Spurs rematch from last season. In the east the best match up to look for will be Cleveland vs Miami, and I think a Toronto vs Atlanta match up could be fun too.
"Boring" is a relative term. At this particular point in time, I'd still rather be watching the first round of the NBA Playoffs than anything that is not the first round of the NBA Playoffs.
KD couldn't hit a shot and Dallas won by a point. Talk to me when Rick Carlisle actually wins a playoff series. I never said he was a bad coach anyway, just that's he's overrated. He's got Dallas past the first round just twice in 7 seasons (working on his 8th attempt right now). He does have that one championship but when you look at how crazy hot their shooting was that year, it starts to look like a fluke. Stan Van Gundy's Magic made it to the Finals one year too when they got hot through the first three rounds of the playoffs. Sustained success requires more than hot shooting though.
The Rockets are so awful! I can't help but be ****ed that they're the team that got in.

See that stuff Draymond did at the end of the game. Freaking threw Beasley to the ground like a jerk. Imagine if Boogie did something like that.
Seriously.
I loved seeing him dribble the ball off his foot to lose the game. Couldn't have happened to a bigger ***hole.

We were so spoiled two years ago in the first round the NBA gods are evening it out with blowout after blowout.
I ask myself this all the time and I hate the answer I keep giving myself.

great guy, all around. him and Steven Adams were my choices three years ago, when we drafted Ben. would've been nice.
great to see Marvin Williams joining the Playoffs, too. would like for the Hornets to stick around a little longer (and for the Heat to go away asap).

this Clippers/Blazers game has been a joy to watch. I had another thought recently, I wonder how the fan base and the media would feel if Boogie got ejected in a playoff game just like Durant did. Maybe something like this?
Grant would go on a rampage like never before, and lead them all with the tar and feathers.
Watching Steph Curry try to play through injury only makes me angrier that Karl cost us the season: Golden State without Curry is totally vulnerable, but I still think that they'll probably beat these no-heart-having Rockets.
So, how do the Rockets respond to finding out that Curry won't play the rest of the game? By giving up 18 points in the first four and a half minutes of the quarter. Well done.
Okay, I've had enough... There's only one word to describe the Houston Rockets, and I'm going to let Enzo and Cass handle my light work:

a-f***ing-greed. i've been saying all season long that the warriors are much more vulnerable than people think if they encounter any kind of injury to stephen curry that keeps him out of any playoff games or at less than 100% for any playoff games. yes, they're a great team, but they're only a great team when headlined by curry. things fall apart without him. this season, the warriors were outscored by rather wide margins when steph was on the bench. they were only so dominant because they also happened to outscore their opponents by even wider margins when steph was in the game...
the warriors' roster is enviable in its versatility, particularly on the defensive end, but they are as reliant on their superstar to propel them into the record books as the chicago bulls were on their superstar throughout the 90's. as an aside, michael jordan played in 82, 80, and 78 games during the regular seasons of his first run of three championships with the bulls, and then 82, 82, and 82 during the regular seasons of his second run of championships. likewise, curry has been healthy every season since his third was derailed by a variety of foot/ankle injuries. that good health of a budding superstar, as well as the generally fortunate health of the entire warriors' roster across the last two seasons, is as much a contributor to their success as anything else...
Unfortunately for those of us who don't ride with the Warriors, they don't have to function well, because they're playing the Rockets.

"Thats ****ing bull****, ****ing p***y!" -Draymond Green to the officials tonight.
no technical by the way...
This guy gets away with murder on a nightly basis. Meanwhile Cousins breaths aggressively and he's T'd up. Such bs.
