Kick The Puck, It's Still Icing

Round ball, in the air. Thru a hoop.

Hard.

Graceful, ballet like, ytet without the tights of hockey ware.

Sticks, on the ice, neanderthal.

Lacking in . . . well, besides scoring, much else to look at.

Mightas well be soccer . . . without Mia Hamm . . . .

Bottom line: Basketball's booooooooring! DROP THE PUCK!
 
Teams? You can't call them 'teams'. More like "Millionaire Supporting Cast for the Multimillionaire Superstar" They make too much money, they're refereed like women's figure skating, they look funny in the clothes (hey, wife beaters and shorts were OK in the '30s) and the games are WAY TOO LONG. Basketball was built for people who can't pay attention to sports. It was made because some players couldn't figure out the intricacies of badminton. A dozen two on one breaks in basketball will most likely score 10 times. Not so in hockey because there's something there called "defense". I know it's hard to explain "defense" to basketball fans and impossible to explain it to the players. That's why neither can appreciate baseball and hockey. You shove a couple of elbows in Kobe's mug as he crosses the line or knock Jermaine O'Neal to the floor over and over while he stands under the basket, I wonder if they could play. They lack the heart. The penalty box in hockey isn't about the offense, it's whether the defense can take the penalties and stand tall and it's important to know that if you ice the puck, you can't change the players on the ice.
 
Four years of knowin 'you people' n the only button I got to push is basketball.

Ya'd think I could do better . . . lolol

Hey, one on one defense is a thing of beauty to behold in the NBA!

If I could find anyone but the Pistons n Ron Atest with Sac who PLAYED it, i'd come up with some scathing and biting flame of a response. Alas. Ahem. How BOUT them A's . . . .
