It’s wild NBA, NHL and television executives don’t care about fans, but they care about our money.

– Donnie, channel surfer

Kiz: How many times do we have to be reminded our teams in the Lost Time Zone don’t mean jack to league or TV execs? If the New York Knicks and Rangers were playing a Game 7 on the same day, would they play at the same time? No way. No how.

The NBA or NHL playoffs? What’s better as must-see TV? Are we talking about must-see or must-pay-attention? With hockey you must pay attention, because the big play could happen at any moment. With interminable stoppages for fouls and a zillion timeouts, the NBA allows you to head to the fridge, look at your phone and generally tune out until late in the game.

– M.W., mucker and grinder

Kiz: As a journalist who began covering the Nuggets way back in Dan Issel’s final NBA season, I love pro hoops. Always have, always will. But nothing in North American sports matches the intensity of the NHL playoffs, and that includes the NFL.

I’m a big hockey fan, primarily because of the humbleness and team-first attitude found in the sport. I’m not a basketball fan. The NBA culture is individualistic and the arrogant attitude of many players is a big turn-off.

– Chris, pucks over hoops

Kiz: Yes, the NBA is full of big personalities. But if you don’t dig the joy, edge and swagger Minnesota guard Anthony Edwards brings to the court, you’re missing out on one of greatest shows on earth.

Hockey fans tend to be a world unto themselves. I’ve honestly never encountered an NHL fan living in a state without a team. The NBA draws a more diverse crowd, except the people who don’t like to see those particular folks make lots of money.

– Greg, Fort Collins

Kiz: There are Colorado sports fans that love the Nuggets and Avs. But I often encounter NBA fans that don’t pay any attention to hockey. And I also regularly encounter NHL fans with open disdain for basketball.

Thanks for encouraging what many Rockies fans know, but will not act upon: We need a unified protest against Dick Monfort’s ownership, which is why the Rockheads live in an unfinished basement without the basics needed to compete for a championship.The only thing that could urge Monfort to move on is to speak the language he understands: money. What’s needed is an organized protest at home games that targets team sponsors, advertising revenue and ticket sales.

– Bruce, fed up

Kiz: The Broncos feel an obligation to field a playoff-worthy team, because that’s what sports fans in Colorado demand. Call me crazy, but if those same fans loudly and incessantly demanded Monfort sell the team, I honestly believe they could be a voice of change.

And today’s parting shot suggests nine years is more than enough for Rockies manager Bud Black.

What’s the point of the Rockies keeping Black? The team hired Clint Hurdle as the hitting coach for him to evaluate a bad team. So why waste any more of Bud’s time, Clint’s time or the fans’ time by keeping Black as manager?
