Srsly though, I had fun watching the livestream, but I can imagine why most of the others in the chat would prefer the audio-only livecasts, to give more room for the imagination.
"Buck Hopper is in the semi finals! He could win the conference championship? Isn't that great?"
"I know he's in the conference championship!" the hare snapped. "I'm on the team he beat, remember?" He shut his phone. When it rang, he sent the call to voicemail and turned his phone off, snorting.
"Hey, dude," said Doug, surprised to see his friend looking so bitter. "Yeah, we choked this time. Next time, we give that team a piledriver." He grinned, but his smile faded when Bruce didn't lighten up. "What's wrong?"
"One day, I'd like to hear three words from my stepfather," the hare said. "'Well done, Bruce.'"

If I had to describe the Dakota Bikers' style of play in one word, it would be: Merciless.
And they kept true to that description with the Hopper/Malone duo, combining for 55 points in the game, as the Bikers rolled to 112-93 win to the delight of the fans in Sturgis. The way the Bikers played, it was no surprise they taught the Voyageurs a lesson the second round.
Malone and Hopper were unstoppable all game, with the rabbit doing most of the scoring, and almost carrying the whole team, like he carried the Thrust in 2011.
"It just feels so good to be this good." B-Hop says in a post-game interview. "I mean, this team makes me feel amazing every night. I can't complain for a milisecond."
Honestly, the Bikers dominating isn't news at all. Not since 2010. It's a rolling bus of entertaining basketball.
