Better Finals - The Orange Mane

elsid13 · 06-10-2011, 04:14 PM

Just wondering which of the Finals - NFL or NBA you think is better. For my money it the Bruins/Canucks. Better hitting, more hatred and just overall more passion.

Normally I'd go hockey, but the last two games (while compelling in their own way) were blow outs. And all four NBA games have gone down to the wire, had sizable comebacks, etc. Plus you have a whole year of storylines in the Mavs-Heat. A decade's worth really. There just isn't a team so easy to hate in any other sport right now, while the Mavs with Dirk and Kidd are easy to get on the bandwagon for.

We're lucky to have two great series on alternating nights right now.

Doggcow · 06-10-2011, 04:25 PM

Both, honestly.

But my ****ing Canucks better nut up on home ice tonight.

FantomForce · 06-10-2011, 04:42 PM

ps go Canucks, jeez I had no idea about the team history, but getting compared to the Cubs organization that's gotta sting. plus this whole boston thing is getting old

bronco militia · 06-10-2011, 06:58 PM

up until game 3 of both series, the nhl was better.

now the nba finals have taken the lead

bronco militia · 06-10-2011, 07:05 PM

but game 5 in vancouver has been another classic

OrangeSe7en · 06-10-2011, 07:06 PM

This year, its the Mavs-Heat...at least up until now. If the Dirk led Mavs pull this off, it will be the ultimate in validation and vindication. And for him to do it against a team with two elite players,...big respect.

epicSocialism4tw · 06-10-2011, 07:25 PM

I have nothing against Hockey, just find it boring to watch. Honestly, I didn't know who was playing until I read this thread.

But...go Dallas Stars.

Jay3 · 06-10-2011, 07:49 PM

Hockey: do not want.

bronco militia · 06-10-2011, 07:55 PM

another great game in vancouver...1-0 win for the nucks

now lets see if boston can force a game 7

UberBroncoMan · 06-10-2011, 08:08 PM

Just because I hate everything the Heat represent and think Dirk is a solid player/human being.

It's going seven.

Ratboy · 06-11-2011, 04:33 AM

Both have been pretty exciting.

I prefer hockey over basketball due to the speed and action of the sport.

However, I don't watch either at all during the regular season.

Go Canucks!

Hockey is far more exciting than Basketball.. maybe the announcers make it that way though.

No.....It's just a way better sport. At least the playoffs are. Hockey playoffs are simply awesome, no matter the match ups.

No they aren't. I got no love for the Heat but there isn't a team I hate more than teh Mavs and there isn't a player I hate more than Dirk.

Stop whining. It negates both team's passing.

Killericon · 06-11-2011, 04:37 PM

I haven't even watched highlights from any of these games. The list of NHL/NBA teams that I dislike more/am less interested in than the Bruins, Canucks, Mavericks and Heat is really ****ing short.

Srsly?

Vancouver has had meltdowns throughout this postseason. Nothin' special about the two in Boston.
