Basketball

I'm sure i'd like NHL if I watched it I just CBF.

Massive hockey fan. Have been to many NHL games, and am loving watching the Stanley Cup playoffs (apart from the annual absence of the Leafs).

NHL is ferkin awesome live. It doesnt translate well to TV however.

I hear that a lot from Aussies. I'm not sure why. It's fast and action packed. I think it's great on TV - unlike baseball.

Hard to see the puck on TV i reckon. Live no problem.

Although I'm an Aussie I spent a lot of years watching hockey in Colorado and not so far from you (Kelowna, BC)

Perhaps a little. If you watch enough you instinctively know where they are moving the puck.

Kelowna is very nice. Love it around the Okanagan.

Anyway, off to watch game 2

Yeah I always find it hard to follow what's going on watching ice hockey on tv as it's hard to see the puck, much easier to follow it when you watch it live plus seeing and hearing the hits and fights is better live.

Anyone remember in the 90s when FOX in the US made sure that that the pucks had micro chips inside them so that whenever the puck went a certain speed you would see a red light that followed its trail on TV?

Hitting a piece of rubber at 140km/hr is part of what makes it awesome

Love basketball, would be my second favourite sport behind American football. Playoffs are fairly predictable and majority of the star players are unlikeable. Sick of all the good players wanting form super teams. I like hockey as well but dont really follow it until the playoffs start. Hope to see a few games when im in Canada later on in the year.

Ice Hockey gets the nod for me. Far more exciting to watch. If basketball got rid of the timeouts it might be up there.

 

[checkraiseulite]

both are ordinary to watch; however each has awesome highlights.

would say basketball, just.

Streetball......

basketball on tv, ice hockey live

Ice Hockey easily - one of the most underrated sports going around. If it got proper coverage over here AFL fans would go ape-s t for it I reckon.

In contrast - Basektball is the most overrated sport on earth. Did get massive LOLs with old man Lebron totally cramping up in Game 1 and the furore it caused on twitter. FFS harden up.
