    makes no sense. also, why is it after all these years that NHL & NBA playoffs run at same time? you would think those 2 leagues would have figured out a way by now to avoid this. perhaps have 1 league start a month later or earlier?

    Because the NBA doesn't care about MLB. I think Mark Cuban said that at one point. They feel like they will win that fight.

      One sport action packed the other a sleeper.

        Why would anyone want to watch a regular season NBA game anyway?

                No one knew when game 1 of the world series would be and it's a different fan base for the most part, NBA fans are much younger.

                    Other way around. NBA is boring until last 3 minutes.

                                                    yes


                                                    when you make birdies and others are making triple bogeys...

                                                    you usually find the bench on every hole as you wait
