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

NFL, NCAA FB, NCAA BB, NHL, curling.....the list goes on and on...

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.

No. In a hockey game, if a team is up by 2 goals with 10 minutes to go in the 3rd period, and they are halfway decent, there is a 95% chance that the game is over. It's just too hard to score a goal - and even when it happens, half the time it seems like a fluke deflection that just assed its way into the goal. This is why I can't watch hockey unless it's the playoffs where teams just kill each other.

I like a little drama in my sports, which is why I enjoy NCAABB and NFL.

There are fights though and some pretty decent hits
