Golden State and Cleveland could be a fantastic series though... it might save the playoffs, or at least a little bit in terms of ratings in the finals at least

In the NHL every round has its excitement, but in the NBA there is nothing to watch until the final.

The Cavaliers also swept the Pacers in the 1st round although the margin of each win was 6 points or less. The Celtics managed to squeak out a 3 point win against the Cavaliers. Still, you're right that the NBA playoffs have been inferior in comparison with the NHL playoffs. There have been only 2 NBA series that went 7 games and for the NHL, lots of overtime games.
