Really, I don't mean to be a jerk by asking you this, but do you want athletic events of this importance to be won by the team with the better effort and talent? Or would you mind the game be won on a couple of lucky breaks?
I have seen you post a long ping list often on sports threads, so I wonder really how you feel about this.
If it's easy to avoid the balls being slippery, don't you think it should be avoided to negate as much luck (bad luck) as possible?
These teams are relatively even.
The game is going to come down to a "couple lucky breaks"
Sorry. NO one in this game is clearly superior to the other. both have to deal with the "slick" balls. They have to deal with the same referees, the same chain gangs, everything.
It's going to come down to who gets "lucky"
