Because Noah is terrible.
He doesn't have a good post move, and never will have a high FG%, but to say he's "terrible" is wrong. He would be the starting center on most teams in the league.

I hate how long NBA playoffs are drug out. I get not doing back-to-backs, but games every other day should be possible.

My internal playoffs clock is telling me there should be a game tonight. I'm going to go crazy this weekend waiting for freaking Sunday.

The reason they do that is because they don't sync the series. As soon as two teams are available they start the next round, even if other teams are still playing the prior round. The Bulls and Heat started while OKC and Memphis were still playing.

What I don't like is the 7 game series early - I am the type of NBA fan that in general just ignores the playoffs and just watch baseball more or less until it gets to the Conference finals. Then I'll start watching some, and then the finals I'll watch from start to finish. Now this year with the Bulls I'm watching every game, and it's looooong. I would have preferred 5 game sets the first two rounds.

Hockey is the same way. They are still playing, right?
