Definition: Player who is not a member of your hometown/primary team, whose pure awesomeness you have come to admire thanks to watching the NBA playoffs. The Playoff Crush, unlike the real life crush, is not predicated on physical attractiveness but rather on some combination of the aforementioned awesomeness factor (see Game 7 vs. Cleveland), on-court personality, and other X factors that vary depending on the person.
Example: 1) I have a playoff crush on Paul Pierce, who I find inexplicably sexy despite the fact that he is, let’s face it, not really hot. 2) Many people around the internet were heard to proclaim their playoff crushes on Chris Paul when the Hornets hit the playoffs and you could actually watch them on TV.

Alas, I care not. For other sports besides basketball and hockey, that is. Let’s not get into my irrational hatred for baseball.
Baseball would be better if they ran the bases with the bat, that would put some action into it.
Now, see, that was what I was talking about. Right there. We got Celtics/Lakers warfare in this house.
That would be “basebrawl” Michael.
Maybe if the players were less fat I could watch baseball. But you’re right. Blunt objects might help…
CP3 is *my* Love.

My next object of purchase is a David West jersey… but then, how many jerseys does one person need? Anyone? How many jerseys is it reasonable to have? I already have CP3 and Tyson (of course).
