Is there no expulsion in Basketball?

That is the point.  In hockey you can fight and only get five minutes.  In any other sport if you fight you are out, maybe permanently.

You see, in hockey, a certain tolerance is expected. It come from the time when hockey was played by more civilized men.

Who has been kicked out of the NBA for fighting?  Shit, didn't Ron Artest fight some fans in the stands way back when, got suspended for the rest of the season, but he's still doing whatever it is that people do on basketball courts these days?

I wondered what Ron Artest was up to so I googled him.

Yeah.  What he did was way worse than anything that I can remember an NHL player doing, and yet he continued to be a player in the league.  Compare that to Marty McSorley.

Another difference is that hockey is a real athletic competition, whereas the NBA is fixed.

No, I am not. You should read up on the history of the NHL. It's always been a violent sport.

Why couldn't they have beaten Montreal in the last game? Why? :(
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

They couldn't beat Montreal in the last game of the season.  What makes you think they could have taken them in the playoffs?

the three other games they won (as opposed to the one against Boston) and the way Montreal is playing now.

Apparently, it came from The British.  They had a pro hockey league before the NHL, or so I've heard.
