Coaches and players have stated on many occasions this season that the bj-league is an ultra-competitive league and that there are no guaranteed victories, especially in the second game of a two-game series.
The fourth-year league is in the early stages of a drag-it-out, 15-round boxing match, so to speak, that reminds one of the mid-1970s epic heavyweight bouts featuring Muhammad Ali against fistic rivals George Foreman, Ken Norton and Joe Frazier. And you don't need to be a boxing fan to appreciate this fact.
In other words, as the season moves closer to the midway point, the league's parity is a good thing.
