Yeah. Players regularly get their teeth knocked out.

Kinda hard to compete against that.

>>64525871
don't you have a soccer game against greece to lose or something?

>Nothing but big stars playing against other big stars. There's such a lack of parity that the same teams are good always every year. An 8 seed will never win the NBA championship, and

>Hockey
>Stars really aren't stars. Yeah you can have Patrick Kane or Sidney Crosby on your team, but that's no guarantee you'll even make the playoffs. Your stars only play for a third of the game, and you rely a lot more on the depth of the team and the chemistry of the lines
>An 8 seed has won the Stanley Cup
>While recently the Blackhawks and Kings have been winning the championships, they're not dominating, and what makes them so good isn't their players, but the bond between the players.

Basketball isn't fun to watch because you know what team's going to win. The Warriors are going to win it this year. Sorry 29 other teams, better luck next season.

is that true? i know next to nothing about hockey

>>64529358
About that, yes.

>>64529358
Typical game is 60 minutes, your best forwards usually only play for 20 minutes. Hockey's a very fast game, and there's really not that much idling.

Defense is a little different, they might play for 30 minutes if they're good and have a shit ton of stamina.

>>64525871
Yeah hockey is a lot more entertaining

Basketball is too boring to watch. They just go back and forth scoring points that dont mean anything until the last 4 minutes.

>>64529401
Not to mention the last 4 minutes which is the only decent part of the game takes like 30 minutes.

Basketball is okay, but it lacks momentum because of how fouly it is.

That guy bumped into that guy in a manner which is slightly more bumpy than is permissible! STOP EVERYTHING EVERYONE STAND OVER HERE

Like come on man.

The last 2 minutes are usually the most boring of any sport, unless it's like a 4 point game or less.

Why is there such a divide between basketball and hockey? I'm a hockey fan and can't stand bball apart from a few college games. They're both very similar in the way that offenses/defenses are positioned included fast breaks in each sport. I don't get it.

>Tfw your basketball team and hockey team are both in last place

>>64529218
Haven't Crosby and Kane pretty much made the playoffs every year they've been in the league?

>>64530096
The divide is cultural. And a war is formed since their seasons overlap and are played in similar venues.

>>64530158
>>64530096
I think it's more that there are a lot of cities that have only one or the other compared to other American major league sports, so you get faggots being homers.

Hockey is more fun for fans of contact sports. Apehoop is meh because the lack of contact and strict officials.
