The NBA's popularity amazes me. Its so slow to watch, a shitload of timeouts, all contact is a foul, and over flashy, unlikeable "stars". Not to mention the atrocious lack of parity. The NHL has put out such a great product since the last lockout and they're pissing away all the goodwill they've earned.
Yeah. I can appreciate a well played basketball game but I find it really hard to watch on a regular basis due to these things. And the refereeing.
I remember wanting the NBA lockout to go on and hoping some were converted to hockey

... and yet you have a football avatar... a sport that's even slower than the NBA.

ALL OF YOUR SPORTS THAT AREN'T HOCKEY ARE LITERALLY EXCRUCIATINGLY TERRIBLE. THEY CANNOT GO ANYWHERE OR DO ANYTHING EVEN CLOSELY INTERESTING TO WHAT HOCKEY IS CAPABLE OF.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Fuck that Canadian hating movie.
Are people actually suggesting this?
I got an email for a free drink and popcorn if I go watch this. What's it about?
EVERYTHING
Saw the trailer for it before Argo. It was exhausting. My response was "How the fuck are they supposed to keep that under 6 hours?"

Welll, when you make a movie about a big Canadian incident, and then make the barest mention of Canadians in the movie and talk up how the Americans actually saved the day, you're going to piss off a lot of Canadians.
Seriously.
Ben Affleck? That Canadian Ambassador is a thug for life.
And no Iranians were frigging chasing them down the runway. No truth in this art.
Y'all would be screwed if it weren't for us.
I think this is what you're referring to:
The movie mentions Canada a tonne, but it focuses on the CIA effort and glorifies Mendez's role. Understandably. It's Hollywood.
That's the problem right there, none of them are correct, not for me at least, both sides are wrong but it seems like no one is willing to recognize it.
Players never proposed 50/50
It wasn't the 3rd proposal of the NHLPA from the last thurday meeting?
You mean the one where it was impossible to reach 50/50?

Hey now, I call it strategically locking down a position.
Yup, gotta keep those zombies at a good distance.

I am actually looking forward to basketball this year. 6ers are going to be one of the best teams in the east, and I dont have to watch AI play for them anymore.
Next week.

The KHL games in Brooklyn have been cancelled.
Yeah I'm pretty excited for your team. I don't know if they'll be one of the top teams but I can definitely see them finishing anywhere from 3 to no lower than the 5th seed.
I still think the Pacers are the #2 team in the East.

The Pacers are going to be really good. I think the 6ers could compete with them if everyone is healthy and the new guys click right away. Hopefully Doug gets them playing well right out of the gate this year.

Talking about professional basketball is the lowest this thread has ever sunk.
Think about that for a second.
Then reflect on your lives.

Well we could all talk about what a great guy Fehr is and how he was brought in to get a deal done and no way will any games be missed.
Lol, sadly you pretty much mimicked a column from my local paper after the NBA had a preseason exhibition here a couple of days ago. It was pretty cringe inducing, and I have zero interest in basketball.
EDIT: here, if today isn't crappy enough you can read it too, it's embarrassingly crap.

It's going to be a gradual drop to 50/50, you could see this coming months ago.
54,53,52,51,50 or something.
I think the contract stuff might be a bigger argument, Players don't want 5-year limits.

Argo was awesome. I think a double feature of that and Miracle would be the ultimate time machine feature to make you feel like its 1980 again.
And the NBA is slower and worse to watch then the NFL in my opinion. The horrible amounts of free throws, timeouts, and out of bounds plays are worse to me than the breaks in between downs where football players huddle up. Though both sports are slow. So is baseball. I love baseball anyway.

The Super Bowl is the only non-NHL event I can watch. I don't really know the rules, I don't know any of the teams I just watch it because it's the Super Bowl.
Basketball is utterly boring and baseball even more so.
This lockout sucks but I realize how much more time I have since I am not watching several games a week. I kind of like it.
In Ottawa I saw a guy with a Hartnell jersey standing at the bus stop. I wish I had a glove to throw at him as I drove by, I wonder if he'd get it.

God damn this shit sucks so much. I wish the owners hadnt locked the players out and let them go on strike during the season so we could get replacement players. I really want all new players in the NHL.
