im pleased as punch! i never did like basketball and cant imagine the draw. hockey theres like 4 goals a game, so its either total elation or anger when theres a goal. in basketball i cant see sitting there yelling YES!!! 2 out of 100 points! ONLY 49 MORE BASKETS TO GO BOYZ!
i put the z on boyz cuz most players (playahz?) are black. Maybe racist, but true
anyways. i dont like basketball

You sir, are a Sportist. 
Seriously... I can't stand Hockey because of all the dead time. The only time it truly gets intense is a single goal OT (like the Sharks and Oilers game last night, that was actually exciting).
Basketball it seems anything can happen within any amount of time. Within a matter of minutes a 20 point lead can be shortened to just 5 points. Basketball is one of the only games that has last minute heroics - when the score is tied 110 to 110 with 40 seconds left in the 4th, that is where the real excitement dwells.
70% of the time when I do go to a hockey game, I end up leaving during dead time in the third period because the outcome of the game is already obvious.
Hockey is great in it's own way, I just can't stand the dead time.
I also think the outcome of basketball games are more founded on skill as opposed to hockey, which has an outcome more based on luck.
Playing professional basketball is also probably one of the most difficult feats for an athlete in spectator sports. It is alot easier for a hockey, baseball, or football player to make the big leagues than it is for a basketball player to make the NBA, because the game revolves so much around cascading performances.

Yea. Don't get me wrong, I hollered like a hoser when the Oilers won, and I tipped my hat in salute to Ryan Smyth's impressive endurance. I just think basketball is more exciting. I'm going to be happier than a pig in shit when Chris Bosh revolutionizes Canadian basketball.

Ummm...okay?
So did anyone see the game where buffalo made a goal in the last ten seconds and went into overtime?
And P.S. just because we didn't sweep the Sens last night, doesn't mean we still aren't definately moving on to the next series, and inevitably...to the cup!

That's extremely rare in hockey. Most hockey games have dead time near the end.
