In response to "81 games in a season only gives you 5 or so games against each team in your league. That's just not enough games. " by Krusty

Basketball is far less random and more strenuous. The better team wins 95% of the time. NHL is more random but baseball, the best loses - Will Hunting Sep 11, 09:03 2
- That's most likely because basketball has half as many games. So, each games counts more than it does in baseball. - Inigo Sep 11, 09:17 1
  - I think it’s more likely with 12 players, 9 of which play a game, 5 who play 2/3 of the game...better wins more often. - Will Hunting Sep 11, 09:20
I can't speak to hockey as I don't follow it. With basketball they only play a home and home with teams in the other league. - Krusty Sep 11, 08:48 4
- Sure, it is. It's definitely baseball. You just don't want real change. -- nm - Inigo Sep 11, 09:03 1
  - I'm fine with changes that make the sport better like a universal DH. I just don't think a shorter season is good for the game. -- nm* - Krusty Sep 11, 09:06
- NHL is similar - home and home against the other conference - Reagen Sep 11, 08:52 1
  - Your IM is what I was trying to get at down below. -- nm - Krusty Sep 11, 08:54
