Let commentators tell it, there are a lot of flagrant fouls, tech fouls, ejections, playing ? , excessive ? talking, it's "playoff atmosphere".

Shouldn't playoff atmosphere be about great talent matchups, dedicated defense, and a high energy crowd?

    When you play hard defense hard fouls happen. That's playoff basketball.

    Cuz.teams don't play as hard on that side of the ball as they should in the regular season. That's why when you see a must win game at the end of the season a lot of physical play happen.

    You sounding real soft right now. Have you ever played a sport if you did you should know ? get real when its a must win scenario.

    For the record, I hate the term "playoff atmosphere"
    But when it's win or go home, you'll do anything to extend the series, which leads to the increase of physical play in the playoffs.

    Some games do have that feel

    But announcers use it way too much

    During the season you might not give it your all. In the playoffs you don't take plays off.You going to everything you can to win.If you have to talk ? or play ? to get your opponent off there game you going to do it.
