Chuck: The NBA?
Cindy: That’s right!
Chuck: Alright! Mary, Paul, you know how this works! I’ll give you a word, you give us a definition. First correct answer wins. Fingers on buzzers. Ready? Let’s go … Word one: ‘Playoffs’ Mary.
Mary: A big basketball competition in the USA?
Chuck: Correct! One point. Cindy?
Cindy: The NBA Playoffs are a popular annual postseason basketball tournament.
Chuck: Word two: ‘Postseason’ Paul.
Paul: It’s what happens after the main season of basketball has ended, I think …
Chuck: Correct! One point each. Cindy?
Cindy: Only the best 16 teams are allowed to compete in the Playoffs, which is first divided in two: an Eastern Conference, and a Western Conference.
Chuck: Word three: ‘Conference’ Paul.
Paul: It’s like, when lots of people are all on the phone at the same time, right?
Chuck: Ooo! Very close Paul! But remember, Today’s Topic is ‘The NBA’. Mary, any ideas?
Mary: Well, one’s in the East, and one’s in the West … it sounds like it’s a group of teams who all play against each other …
Chuck: Correct-a-mundo! Cindy?
Cindy: The remaining team from each Conference then progresses to the final round to decide the league champion!
Chuck: Uh-oh! That sound means we’ve run out of time, let’s take a look at the scores … Paul you have one point, but Mary you’re today’s winner!
Mary: Wow, I don’t believe it!
Chuck: Paul, thank you so much for playing, but it’s time to say goodbye. Did you enjoy it?
Paul: I had a great time, thanks Chuck!
Chuck: Give him a big hand: Paul, ladies and gentlemen! Mary, congratulations!
