Thank you everyone. It's been great. Madelyn's first words....in reference to the Cameroon Japan game.
"Cameroon, all of you all have the genetic makeup of the predator and you're playing a team full of hobbits. Your pace just made me explosive poop and I had to nap due to your lack of aggression. I'm annoyed that my first experience with a television involved your piss poor play."
I hope Boston wins by 1,181 tomorrow. After the game, I hope Stern announces that Sasha Vujacic will be exterminated and removed from the planet. What a bad player. An inexplicably arrogant, terrible player.
REASON - NBA Finals brings in a significant more amount of media to the NBA Finals than the playoffs. NBA Finals is worldwide coverage whereas the Western Conference or Eastern Conference Finals is mainly National coverage. It is more cost efficient to have the series 2-3-2 because traveling basically cut in half if the series goes 7.
When did the NBA concern itself with revenue? If they were so concerned about "cost-cutting", why would 14 of the 15 playoff series be played with the 2-2-1-1-1 format and only 1 be played 2-3-2. If they wanted to save money, the 2-3-2 should be the template for all series.
As for worldwide coverage, I had access to all the playoff series here in Central America.
Nice rebuttal A Dub. I'm convinced Sasha is some sort of Eastern block werewolf, but for some reason he doesn't have the inherent wolflike BBall skills as the likes of MJF in teenwolf. How did he get the moniker "The Machine" anyways???
I don't think travel cost impacts the decision. I would bet an actuary put his pen to pad and proved that this format increases the odds of a longer series. At worse the home team splits the first two. No way does the away team take three in a row on their home court or four in a row if they took one of the first two. It's highly unlikely the original home team wins the first two games at home and then goes on to take 2 out of the 3 away. I bet if you were to look historical figures this would be a 3 sigma event. You're guarantying at least a 6 game series with the 2-3-2.....which equals money. Kevin you’re right it’s all about money, but they don't care about saving $100k on charter flights & hotels. They care about abc airing the maximum amount of finals as possible with .
why were artest & steph jackson allowed on the same team? what was their locker room like? one of them needs a reality show. what would happen if they had a kid together?
williams, you play for the okc thunder. you"re the 8th man. your nickname is Thunder Thighs. you're easily the most popular nba scrub in the history of the game. you retire, you're bored. you ufc fight brian scalabrine. you end up murdering him on live television. you then start an after school program. people love you. your legacy lives on via the naming of a middle school after you.

They renamed the baby Madelyn Schlossnagle Mazur, FYI.

Congrats Mazur....
Enjoy the sleep that you currently have becasue you have to start feeding her at night soon enough!
Any first word predictions??
I'm going with chloroplast.
She's going to eat Sadie and poop out a vulture.
Congrats Mazur! Che bella bambina!I'm sure you will be a great padre!
Who is next to have a child? I say Weiss.
Fingers crossed for Williams!
Thank you everyone. It's been great.

well put, Maddy.
She seems to know the game well.
am i in first place in world cup fantasy yahoo land?
mazur-when do i get to babysit?!?!?!?!?
So, segwaying baby talk into sports talk, can anyone explain to me why the NBA Finals goes to 2-3-2 in place of 2-2-1-1-1???
I hate it.
1 season,
2-3-2,
1 champion.
sighed,
one badass.
It's ludicrous.
Almost as bad as the All Star Game deciding home field advantage in the World Series.
I absolutely despise it.
I hope Boston wins by 1,181 tomorrow. After the game, I hope Stern announces that Sasha Vujacic will be exterminated and removed from the planet. What a bad player. An inexplicably arrogant, terrible player.
On a positive note, I'd spoon Rondo.

That still doesn't make sense.

NBA Finals is far more global than the NBA playoffs leading up to it.
And it always comes back to money, ALWAYS.
Tradition keeps the 2-2-1-1-1 around, thats it.

What's with all the Vujacic hate?
Rick Fox was the first thing up in my new garage, everyone hates on the greatest.

Nice work. But what shame and/or sham.
After four games, this series was 2-2. I would have loved to see it settled 1-1-1.
But, blah. I guess money wins, and about a billion people will watch game 7 tonight.
I hope Artest accidently bites Kobe during the shoot around.
Rondo triple-double, Celtics by 64.
As for Vujacic's nickname, the only player that was 8th in the rotation worthy of a nickname was Brian Cardinal. And his was fittingly, "the janitor".
