Message: [QUOTE="javadoc, post: 1577950, member: 338"] More to the point, why is a 17-14 game described as "white-knuckling", whereas a 49-45 game that goes back and forth to the wire isn't? I find the latter to be orders of magnitude more white-knuckling than the first. Each can be entertaining, though. What I don't find entertaining is a game in which the score is determined by incompetence rather than skill, i.e. no serious attempt at defense, or a hapless offense. [/QUOTE]
