The NBA has enjoyed an entertaining season. After moving away from the referee scandal that plagued the sport last summer, we saw some exciting and interesting developments this season. To wit:

Some major trades that saw future Hall-of-Famers change teams (KG, Kidd, Shaq).

Races for the playoffs (especially in the West) where a top level team (the Warriors) missed the playoffs entirely as all entries had 50+ wins.

The re-emergence of the Boston Celtics as a legitimate title contender for the first time in 19 years.

A close race for the MVP Award (Kobe, LeBron, Paul, KG).

But now, with four teams left, we're looking down the barrel of perhaps a very boring NBA Finals that will put anyone who watches the game to sleep.

If we have another Spurs/Pistons series, get ready to catch up on your sleep. Not only have these teams played for the title a few years ago, but they are both really boring and predictable. I'm not advocating for a Celts/Lakers Finals (although that would be the most interesting), I'm just hoping we don't get Spurs/Pistons again.

I'm a Mavs fan, and so I don't really care who really wins, but I'd like to watch the NBA Finals without falling asleep, so I'm pulling for the Celts and Lakers to make it.
