I've watched at least part of most of the twolves' games this year. Of course the twovles are actually good, so maybe your team of choice just sucks?

Hockey rules all!!

Paint drying is pretty cool though, cooler than Basketball for sure.

I like basketball and when I was a kid I played all the time. I enjoy watching people who are the best at it compete.

Now baseball is a game that competes with paint drying for entertainment value.

So if the NBA is so boring, what's exciting? The NFL?

The NHL more exciting than the NBA? Hmmmm....At least the nba doens't have 0-0 overtime ties. We all know how exciting those games are. To quote Arthur Levitt Jr, who was recently hired to examine NHL franchise finances:

"They are on a treadmill to obscurity..."

I think that pretty much sums up the NHL.

Different philosophy. This is how I see the NBA:

"Team A runs to Team Bs zone, scores; TeamB runs to TeamAs zone,scores; Back and Forth, on occassion someone misses"

Ho-hum

Hockey, or Soccer for that matter, is completely different. Each and every goal can be the game winner/loser, goals in Hockey are easily 10x more important than in Basketball. Nothing wrong with a Tie even a 0-0 Tie, some of the best games ever have been due to 2 Goaltenders having an awesome game.

To each his own though.

I realize this is all personal opinion, but I can say the same thing about the NHL.

"Team A skates around, passes a bunch of times, Team B eventually steals, passes a bunch of times, Team A eventually takes it back, passes a bunch of times....repeat over and over again."

Nothing wrong with a Tie even a 0-0 Tie

Certainly you can have your own opinion, but considering the rule changes that will likely go into effect next year, the NHL doesn't seem to agree.

Edit: I should add that I live in MN, so if you believe everything you hear, I should be a hockey fanatic.

Now it seems we are getting at the real issue. When your team sucks, the NBA is boring as hell.

/heads off to NBA.com to check out the twolves schedule.
