"Innovation requires being different and brave. Famous dude quote. Sometimes good decisions lead to bad outcomes. Famous dude reference. You should judge the decision making process, not outcomes that partly rely on luck. Famous dude quote. You can't be so reaction based if you're trying something new born from good decisions. Famous dude reference. Management didn't believe in the process any longer even though I did exactly what I said I was going to do. Famous dude quote. "

There -might- be something to do with a couple of teams towards the top end of all-time NBA most wins in a season numbers slightly skewing results. But yeah, there's just a lot of a jumble after the top 5-6 teams where the rest are just battling each other for scraps. And all the guys on the bottom.

If you're complaining that too many teams make the playoffs, then you're right. There's nothing special or different about this year, though.

But without 8 seeds this series never would have happened...
Actually there is one difference in those 8 seeds this year. This is the first time in a loooong time that the bottom of the eastern playoff bracket is stronger than the bottom of the west. Usually the 1-8, 2-7 matchups in the West have better potential than those in the east, but this year the west matchups may not be that good (i hope at least!) while they could actually be interesting in the east. I mean the Pacers as an 8th seed - well coached team that has a star, has good role players, playing against a Cavs squad that's had so much drama / internal friction this year.. Pacers probably don't win, but you never know (see above).

TrueHoop Presents: The last true days of Kobe Bryant
I know Kobe gets a lot of hate, but this is a pretty cool article. What he put himself through at the end of that 2013 season is pretty damn crazy. I'm not sure anyone wanted to win more than him, ever.

Warriors appear to want to win this game. I hope they burst DPS even more in the second half and score like 150.
I don't have a problem with the number of teams in the playoffs, gives a lot of teams a little hope to win it all. What I don't like is how they drag it out over 4 months. When they take 2-4 days between games in some series I just stop giving a fuck and stop watching it.

Curry's going all out for 400 3s like he said he would. Already shot 13 of them out of his 14 total shots.
He better score one quick in the second half since there's a good chance he'll be watching the rest of the game from the sideline.

Kobe's giving a memorable brick and hero ball performance for the ages. 17-45 as of this post, haha.
