NBA Playoff Commercials Continue To Be Awesome

For those of you that are less than pscyhed for tonight’s offensively challenged battle between Philadelphia and Boston, here’s a way for you to get the juices flowing.

Instead, I’ll sit back and soak in Game 7 for the glory – missed shots, charges and all.
