if its so much easier, why is there no parady in the nba? why have the same teams been in the finals for the past 20 years. this is a ridiculous accusation. i agree with the room for error part, but thats the way it was set up. is it easier in baseball to win a championship, its set up the same way, and there are double the amount of regular season games than in basketball. ask the cubs how easy it is, or the red socks. this is just a bogus statement. it is not easier or harder, football is a contact sport....really hard contact, the equivalent to getting hit by a car on sundays! thats why theres only one game inthe playoffs. dont sell these guys short, and say it was easy. they didnt tear the whole team apart either, there were three of five players starting that were there last year. they broght in role players to fill the needs, just like any other team in any other sport, even football.
