I agree it's usually a bit slow, with a team much stronger than the other. It's actually quite similar with soccer, one of the other sports I watch a lot. But whenever I catch a game (not very often I admit), I usually admire the strong technical skills and fundamentals. I watched a bunch of games during the Olympics, and they were quite good.
In the finals, at least we know it's two top teams. If I'm home tomorrow night, I'll try and have the game on, even if I don't watch very closely.
