Final Four - boring!

COMMENTATOR 1
In the final four, Virginia beat Auburn 63 - 62. Texas Tech beat Michigan State 61 - 51. 

COMMENTATOR 2
In that NCAA Final Four, I saw some of the greatest athletes in the world play two of the most boring basketball games ever. Neither team scored over 63 points.

COMMENTATOR 1
The scoring was historically low.

COMMENTATOR 2
Basketball is broken! And the math clearly says so. Most importantly, those great athletes could have played a far more enjoyable and entertaining game!

COMMENTATOR 1
Explain yourself, without boring the heck out of us!

COMMENTATOR 2
It's simple! What do I love about basketball? It's the fast breaks. It's the running and gunning! It's the full court, high-speed, game with spectacular passes ending with amazing dunks. It's the high scoring high flying basketball of my youth. It makes me sick seeing great athletes standing around and passing the ball around the 3-point line. Snoozer! 

COMMENTATOR 1
Actually I agree with you. The first 38 minutes of the first game were boring. The last two minutes were finally great. It was the same with the second game. There were a few good minutes but the rest of the time it was all a defensive clamp down. Where's the offense?

COMMENTATOR 2
The solution is ridiculously easy. Play 4-on-4 full court basketball. Yes, 4on4Ball(TM) would let great players play great wide open games and score over 100 points every game.

Run and gun! Bring back the magic!
