The NBA Playoffs and Bad Decisions

I made a very bad decision Friday morning. Before leaving for work, I had to decide which of the Friday night’s games I would watch. I needed to record a game because 1. I live in LA with that pesky Pacific Daylight Time, and 2. we were watching the Picard finale before I could watch basketball. (I highly recommended series if you are a Star Trek fan.)

I had three games to choose from: Boston at Atlanta, Denver at Minnesota, or Cleveland at New York. I figured that Boston would crush Atlanta again, so that was out. I didn’t expect the Timberwolves to put up a fight against the Nuggets, so that was also out. The third game seemed like the obvious choice.

The Knicks and Cavs were tied at one…
