    NHL=continuous action on skates/NBA=annoying legal proceedings in pajamas

    Washington in two playoff games tonight (g5 NBA, g7 NHL)

    as pure spectacle: night and frackin' day

    in this corner: frustrating overly-interrupted series of 50/50 decisions/calls/non-calls, leading up to dozens and dozens and dozens of damn-near meaningless points, broken up by time-outs upon timeouts and video-review upon video review

    and in this corner: continuous end-to-end action where each and every goal/near-goal is crucial

    i'll bet on basketball but i won't watch the horseshit...as spectacle it's worse than watching paint dry...it's like watching two colors of paint dry with arbitrary decisions somehow determining the "winner"...

    most of the NHL playoffs have been good games...a very small percentage of them one-sided snoozefests (which outside of the clips/spurs series, describes damn near every NBA playoff game...)

    NBA: where arbitrary annoying shit (and lots and lots of interruptions) happen...it's the playoffs, baby: but it's still uncompetitive, overly-interrupted crap)

    I got money on the caps here at +150...win or lose, i got great competitive spectacle...bets should magnify the enjoyment of something that's spectacular to start with...NHL >> nba in that regard

    if i got a bet on baskets...all i get is pissed off at all the frackin' interruptions and arbitrary decisions (you could show 3 refs the same contact in the paint and you'll get offensive-foul/defensive-foul/no-call all in double-digit percent)...

    seems as if the purpose of the NBA "product" is to generate controversy as a marketing strategy...while the NHL product seems to just naturally generate competitive action

    __________

    just turn on the hockey game now...1-1, late in 3rd period..basically "next goal wins" from here on out...followed, if necessary, by truly-crucial "sudden death" overtime...NHL season is good, NHL playoffs are unbelievably so

    relegate that basketball crap to scoreboard watching...NBA season is bad, NBA playoffs mercifully a bit less so

    toughest athletes on the planet: Ice-Hockey players, Rugby Players, MMA-fighters

    Stanley Cup the toughest tourney on the planet: four 7-game series (with lotsa b2b's, 7 games usually spread out over 12-days max)...

    the Cup isn't won by the best hockey team...it's won by the best hockey team that remains...when you get down to the semis there isn't a man on skates that isn't injured

    faak...game 7s are great...OT is great...but game 7 OT's are off the charts great

    Paul Pierce hit a HUGE 3 for Wash to take the lead with 4 seconds left. Then Al Horford came up big with a put back to win the game for ATL.

    My wizards +4.5 live bet at start of 4th quarter won.

    Now time to watch this OT NHL game for pleasure.

    thanks, for that...makes this game all that more important for me, now...

    time for the scrappy caps to kick off the 7th-game bugaboo (apparently, as a franchise they've been ahead 3-1 in a series 10 times and lost 4 of those series)...

    they look the clearly stronger team on the ice for the time being...when Ovi's line is out there the 5 on 5 looks like a PP

    poor caps as a franchise have yakked up 5 series of the 11 in which they had a commanding 3-1 lead...

    hell of a game...and damn is HL a clutch goal-tender (and made Ovi eat that "all series baby" taunt)
