Eastern Conference Hackfest

It?s a problem for the NBA that the league?s showcase games are marred by hacks, complaints, and endless trips to the free-throw line. The ugly aesthetics of foul after foul are exacerbated by playoff games? grindingly slow pace. With a championship in sight, teams dial down the fast break and play more in the half court. According to Basketball Reference?s ?Pace Factor? stats, which tally up possessions per 48 minutes, there?s been only one season in the last 38 in which the playoffs had a faster tempo than the regular season. (That was 1985, when the ?Showtime? Lakers ran past the Celtics in the Finals.)
