NBA Playoffs - 2009

What is up the NBA playoffs? It seems like they keep getting longer and longer. Why not cut the NBA regular season in half and let everybody in the playoffs, that way, the playoffs will last 4 months instead of 2. The NBA playoffs are about the only time I ever watch NBA at all. It's just hard to get into it, with so much time between the first round and the finals, even the conference finals. It seems like each series goes on for about 2 weeks, then you have travel days and rest days and TV days to schedule. It is such a joke. I actually like some of the young players around the league, but the season drags on so long, I just about can't handle it. The problem is, I will still watch. I like the drama and the history and waiting for something special to happen. I'm such a sucker.
