It's NBA playoffs time of year and it tends to bring out a different side of me. Growing up my brother was really into watching the games so naturally, I became very interested too. I've lived in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio my whole life and recently Cleveland has been up to some great things in the sports world. Last year the Cleveland Cavaliers won the Championship title and the Indians made it to the finals almost winning a Championship title. I'm more interested in basketball than baseball personally, here are my tips on making it through NBA playoffs successfully.
1. You Can't Watch Every Game But You Can Try
I always want to watch every NBA game on television but it is nearly impossible to catch every game on. Whether it's work in the way or you have homework or other commitments, I've learned that you should just get updates on your phone from some game verses watching all.
2. Don't Let A Loss Hurt You
Losing games really hurts me especially if we had a 2-0 up on a series. Just recently we were down by 25 but came back and took the win. Sometimes you conquer like that and sometimes you just take the loss. Just remember there's seven games for a reason.
3. Focus On The Game
Personally I've noticed that people like to live tweet during the game and talk about what's going on but it's really distracting. If you're watching the game just focus on the game and leave your phone aside for awhile. It'll make the game more enjoyable and let you actually see all plays without missing any.
4. Pray Your Favorite Player Doesn't Get Hurt
During playoff time injuries do occur but it's best to pray that your players don't get hurt and hopefully they make it through all of their series strong. That'll give them the best chance it can to win.
5. Be A Good Fan
Whether your team is losing or winning support them. Last year so many fans thought the Cavaliers wouldn't make it to the finals and let alone win and they did. Being a good fan isn't hard to do. Support your team during the wins and during the losses and you'll do great.
That's my best advice for the NBA playoffs and I hope you all watch them as much as I do!
