NBA 2012 Off-Season Thread

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

This playing the next day could be good for the Lakers. Just got some momentum with the win.

[owenbrown]

a lot of unwarranted hate on Pau Gasol on Twitter rite now... :nono:https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/%40paugasol (https://twitter.com/#%21/search/realtime/%40paugasol)

[owenbrown]

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK LAKER FANS GIVING PAU GASOL DEATH THREATS?!

[Juan]

Same thing happened to Steve Blake after game 2.

Fucking idiots

[owenbrown]

I just tweeted saying the death threat tweeters can go fuck themselves

[owenbrown]

I am on a twitter rant right now I am so fucking heated with these idiots

[alvarado52]

No one player really loses a game. These Laker fans are idiots who can go fuck themselves.

[Juan]

If I were to blame anyone, it'd be Kobe Bryant for taking those shots in the last 4 mins instead of getting it inside to Pau or Bynum

[alvarado52]

I remember when people were saying hiring Brown as a coach would improve defense.....

[Gertner]

If I were to blame anyone, it'd be Kobe Bryant for taking those shots in the last 4 mins instead of getting it inside to Pau or Bynum

Kobe's used to giving it inside a women's bum, without consent.

[Keith]

If I were to blame anyone, it'd be Kobe Bryant for taking those shots in the last 4 mins instead of getting it inside to Pau or Bynum

After the game, even Bynum was like "They weren't feeding me the ball".

If Kobe gets most of the glory when they win, he should get most of the blame when they lose. And not just Kobe, all superstar players.

[RP]

Do it Indy

[RP]

This crowd is as rowdy as I've seen in Indiana, in a while.

[RP]

D Wade shoved a tampon in it and is playing ball right now.

[Keith]

Pisses me off that LeBron and Wade don't play like that all the time.

[Ermaximus]

Come on Indy, 5 points. Let's do this and then celebrate. Watch Wade cry some more.

[Keith]

Is anybody else in here following The Iron Sheik on Twitter as he tweets about the NBA Playoffs?

LeBron didn't even get a triple double

#chokeartist

[Emperor Smeat]

Eh its only a matter of time until he wears out like every year considering he's barely getting any real rest while having to do everything.

[Keith]

Does LeBron have 6 toes?

http://i.imgur.com/9oC0q.jpg

[ClockShot]

Yeah, so the Magic fire StanVan and the GM.

[Emperor Smeat]

Howard is going to look like a huge douche if he doesn't sign a long term deal now considering it was rumored that them firing Van Gundy would be a condition for him staying.

Them getting rid of the GM was a bit of a shock since he built them team pretty well and had a chance at the title in 2009. A few bad deals he made but the team still averaged 50+ wins a season for the past few years in a row and probably would have reached it if this season was a full one.


According to the agent for Jeremy Lin, huge chance Lin won't be on the team next year since the Knicks have made no offers nor shown any real interest to the agent. Knicks are hoping Lin's current contract gets approved under "Bird" rules so they can be allowed to go over the cap without any penalties.

[McLegend]

Brandon Bass and Michael Stima are killing the Sixers right now.

[Emperor Smeat]

Bass was a beast in the 3rd. Cs up 3-2 in the series but Philly still pretty tough.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Brandon Bass in the 3rd quarter went 6-7 FG, 6-6 FT for 18 points.

[Juan]

Almost fishing time.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Everybody wearing the same shirt is freaking me out.

[Juan]

Really sinking in right now. This sucks

[Keith]

I don't see how Gasol is a Laker next season.

Not saying he shouldn't be, or that they're about to be eliminated thanks to him, but I think Kobe's had enough of him.

[Keith]

Kobe Bryant in Game 5:

42 Points, 5 Rebounds, 2 Steals, 0 Assists.

That's ZERO assists.

[Emperor Smeat]

Lakers would need to get Howard then since all of Kobe's rings came when the team had quality big men (Shaq for the 1st 3, Gasol for the 4th, Gasol/Bynum for the 5th).

Thunder getting the Lakers was their best case scenario considering had the Clippers won the division, its Thunder/Clippers and the Clippers were a lot tougher opponent for them during the season.

Kobe being a bit of a ball hog didn't help either but that's been his style for years like other big stars.

[RP]

I'm so confident the Pacers will win tonight, if they don't, I'll leave this website forever. Consider this a lifetime ban request if they lose.

[Keith]

After what we saw from LeBron and Wade Sunday, you might want to reconsider that wage, sir.

[alvarado52]

Can't say im shocked. Nobody who watched the NBA should be. Thunder deserved it, the Lakers had many occasions where they had the lead and blew it the entire series. Gasol will be gone next year, possibly Bynum too if the deal is good enough. Personally, id like to see Mike Brown gone...he never had control of this team, Kobe included.

[Triple Naitch]

I'm so confident the Pacers will win tonight, if they don't, I'll leave this website forever. Consider this a lifetime ban request if they lose.

Can't forget this tomorrow night.

[Keith]

That's the same criticism Mike Brown had when he was in Cleveland, that he had no control of LeBron. Maybe it has to do with his personality, IDK.

[alvarado52]

Always thought it was true. Now that I've seen it all season long, I know it for a fact.

Players Union about to get in deep trouble now that one of the US Attorneys is getting involved due growing allegations of Hunter spending union funds for friends and family and using his status to get rid of anyone who opposed his decisions.

The one that really started the mess was him trying to disband the retiree association because they were staunch opponents of him and the previous executive director while Derek Fisher as the players president supported retired players and their benefits. Hunter supposedly managed to get the union to drop payments for this year to pension fund by using union funds to pay off lawyers and other stuff without telling the other members of the board.

:wave:

:wavesad:

I'm sure you were just joking anyways, but at least this is giving me some fake solace to the fact that the heat won.

Pace show will be on full display in game six to force this back to Miami.

[Keith]

Heat will wrap things up tomorrow. Even Larry Bird came out and said the team went soft. LeBron and Wade are clicking, so it's gonna be a tough order for the Pacers to beat them.

[Ermaximus]

Pacers in 7.

[Krimzon7]

Pacers in 7 years.

:lol:

[Nark Order]

Heat in 6 most likely.

[Ermaximus]

Heat in 6 most likely.

If we're talking flagrant fouls in minutes then your statement is spot on.

[Krimzon7]

pfft, are we going to call the Heat Thugs now? First it was showboats, then it was choke artist, now we're at thugs! Well in 36 hours, call the Heat Eastern Conference Finalists!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Wait, I thought you were a Bengals fan. Cincinnati is pretty far away from Miami. You followed Labron to Miami?

[DaveWadding]

LAAAAAAAAAKE SHOWWWWWWWWWWW

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Wow 3 steps without a dribble. Traveling much?

[Nark Order]

Come to think of it, I might need an explanation as well. I'm fairly certain Krimzon lives in Atlanta, Ga.

[Ermaximus]

Oh good grief. First ESPN has a special about Lebron and where he was going to go, and now they're going to do the same damned thing for Dwight Howard. FFS, ESPN, don't you have anything better to do? Like you know, maybe the National Spelling Bee Championship or the World Series of Rock, Paper, Scissors?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

By doing it for Labron they have to do it for any marque free agent or they will be seen as for only doing it for Labron.

Which they did, but they can't admit that they did that.

[Ermaximus]

So you're telling me that Steve Nash should get an ESPN special too? How about Luol Deng? Maybe Pau Gasol?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

If ESPN doesn't want to be known for just doing it for Labron, yes. They know they made a mistake doing it for Labron, but they won't admit it.

So, the only thing for them to do is not admit making a mistake. Which means doing it for more players.

[Emperor Smeat]

Probably the ugliest shooting game all playoffs so far for the Cs and now they have to worry about a motivated Sixers team for Game 7. They have a nasty habit of letting the first chance of ending a series get away from them ever since the Big 3 formed.

FFS, ESPN, don't you have anything better to do? Like you know, maybe the National Spelling Bee Championship or the World Series of Rock, Paper, Scissors?

So if Howard says he wants to take his talents to South Beach, does he leave the room and come right back in since Orlando is closer to the place than Miami?

[Ermaximus]

That'd be quite the "troll" by Howard if he did that.

[Triple Naitch]

SIXXXX SHOW

[Krimzon7]

Wait, I thought you were a Bengals fan. Cincinnati is pretty far away from Miami. You followed Labron to Miami?

YES. I. DID.

You see, I wasn't really a basketball fan. I grew up on football, played football, and followed football. After my time in the game was up, i started following other sports, EPL Football, MMA, Basketball, and Playoff Hockey. I'm absolutely enthralled by Lebron and his greatness. I will root for him where ever he takes his talents.

[Krimzon7]

Come to think of it, I might need an explanation as well. I'm fairly certain Krimzon lives in Atlanta, Ga.

correct, and i was born in columbia SC...


SO HOW THE FUCK DO YOU END UP FOLLOWING THE BENGALS???

Short answer, I'm lefthanded/Boomer Esiason was left handed, They're tigers/I like Tigers, My cousin (whom I idolized) signed a pro contract to play with them. Therefore, my obsession to surpass him manifested in me following/loving them to follow/support him.

[McLegend]

I'm happy The Sixers took it to 7 games, and nothing would make me happier if they beat the fuckin Celtics.

I don't see them winning game 7 on the road though.

[McLegend]

Also Rondo has the quickest hands of any player I have ever seen.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Also has the stupidest push shot that doesn't have any right going in, but does sometimes.

[RP]

Rally avatar

[Ermaximus]

+1

[Emperor Smeat]

Heat in full ball-hog mode considering just 4 players have scored with Lebron and Wade owning 2/3rd of the entire team score and like 75% of all the shots so far.

[RP]

Bring us back Dwest

[Nark Order]

Miami advances. Honestly, if they can get past Sixers/Celtics, the Heat should still have a hell of a time with either OKC or The Spurs. This isn't a runaway for the Heat by any stretch of the imagination.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Congrats to the Heat. Even without Raptor-face they played great. Hope to see them in the next round in a few games in Boston if things go smoothly on Saturday.

[Krimzon7]

Heat. Bitches. This is gonna be a great series if Boston can get past these upstarts

[Triple Naitch]

Keep acting like the Sixers don't exist, lads.

[Nark Order]

Have to admit. As much as LeBron deserves a ring... It would be pretty incredible if the Sixers beat the Celtics and then upset the Heat.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Keep acting like the Sixers don't exist, lads.

We said if. Jeez. ;)

[Keith]

I wonder if Chris Bosh will be able to play in the Eastern Finals. If so, Miami should have no problems getting to the Finals.

However, if they don't have Bosh it's going to be a 7-game series no matter who they face, Boston or Philadelphia.

[SammyG]

No. Miami would sweep Philly. Miami would beat Boston in 6. FUCK Miami, however. hope SA wins it all.

[Ermaximus]

Cs lose game 1 with neither Pierce nor Allen being good tonight.

:n: the refs got too involved tonight and at one point in the 2nd half, the Heat got all the calls while the Cs didn't get a call in their favor until near the middle of the 4th. They handed out 4 techs against the Cs and it was always when the Heat needed it the most.

Crying about the refs is a child's cop-out. Celtics only had a few FTs fewer than Miami.

Heat win Game 1 without Bosh, and with Wade taking all fucking day to get into the game. I'm amazed to see the way the disparity in athleticism between these two.

It also hurts me to see Ray Allen struggle through this injury. I want to remember him as Jesus Shuttlesworth, but missing free throws, and three pointers is seriously tarnishing him right now. I'd love to see him ride off into the sunset, if he's not absolutely sure he can redeem himself next year.

Game 2 tonight, I fully expect the Heat to continue domination

The NBA Finals between the Heat and Spurs is going to be interesting. The Heat have been dominating the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals and the Spurs have been doing the same to the Thunder in the West.

If these two teams keep it up, it should make for an explosive finals, because they will go head-to-head with no doubt that they are the two most dominant teams in each conference.

[DaveWadding]

The NBA draft lottery is rigged. Congrats to the New Orleans Hornets, who are currently owned by the NBA, on getting the #1 pick.

[Skippord]

well they're being sold so that totally makes it less sketchy

[Juan]

Pfft. If the NBA was rigged, the Lakers would win the Championship every year

[Nark Order]

Well, they've been given a championship before so...

[Juan]

lol right on cue

[Emperor Smeat]

Hate to be Micheal Jordan right now, one of the greatest players ever who also owns the record for worst losing season as an owner of a team and now lost out on having the Unibrow as something to rebuild the disaster known as the 2011/2012 Bobcats.

Something like only 4 actual league worst teams have managed to win it since the lotto started (not counting when the #1 picks were traded away).

Seriously thought the Nets would have been #1 considering they are moving and the Unibrow would have been something huge to market the team in Brooklyn. Then looked up and found out they traded their draft pick earlier in the season.

[ClockShot]

All I know is that a fuckton of UConn players cut and run or transfered out after this season and some really good talent are going to rot on really bad teams.

You'd think they would learn from Emeka Okafor and Hasheem Thabeet.

[Crimson]

Pfft. If the NBA was rigged, the Lakers would win the Championship every year

And the Knicks wouldnt suck for an entire decade

[Emperor Smeat]

Huge trade rumor that's been circulating for the past couple of hours:

Lakers possibly trade Andrew Bynum for Hornets potential draft pick of Anthony "Unibrow" Davis with a bunch of other players to be added on both sides to beef up the deal.

The other big rumor is Bynum for Brook Lopez and Devon Williams with maybe some players added on both sides to beef up the deal.

[ddpBANG]

Seriously thought the Nets would have been #1 considering they are moving and the Unibrow would have been something huge to market the team in Brooklyn. Then looked up and found out they traded their draft pick earlier in the season.
It was a top three protected pick. They still could have gotten the #1 overall.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Well, they've been given a championship before so...

Narc must be a Kings fan.

[DaveBrawl]

Lakers possibly trade Andrew Bynum for Hornets potential draft pick of Anthony "Unibrow" Davis with a bunch of other players to be added on both sides to beef up the deal.

You would think NO would learn from the last couple of times they have tried to trade with the Lakers that it never ends well for them.

[Emperor Smeat]

Heat managed to go up 2-0 but had the Cs won, this would have gone down as one of the legendary playoff wins in Cs history with how beast-like Rondo was today.

Rondo's stats:
16 for 24 (career-high in made), 10-12 FTs (career high I think), 10 assists, 44 points (career-high), 53 minutes (career high)

Bill Simmons on Twitter was basically going off during most of the 4th and OT. The biggest complaint by him was the combined fouls of Wade and Lebron was just 4 (2 in regulation) while Wade got away with a slap to Rondo's head and kicking KG in the nuts during a shot (KG got the foul for that one).

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

That could have easily been 1-1. This series isn't over Keith. Fuck you.

[Crimson]

Celtics have heart but they're done. Hope the Spurs sweep the Heat though, that'd be great

[James Steele]

SPURRRRRRRRRRRRRRR SHOW! #fuckyou

I am quite sure that the franchise was sold with the stipulation that they'd have the number one pick. Fuck the Lottery.

Haha true, the Heat did not dominate. LeBron James missed important shots and free throws in the 4th quarter, the Celtics definitely should've won the game.

It would be in poor form for me to push off this young lady who'd been pawing at me(and I at her) since the start of the third.

What I'm trying to say is: Tell your mom not to be so hands on and I could get the Heat Stroke post out earlier :)

:D Cs win and no sweep possible for Lebron & Friends. The key was for the first time the Cs didn't collapse in the 3rd Q.

Celtics got sloppy in the 4th but :eek: the refs were calling fouls against Lebron and Wade. Knowing how the refs have called Heat games so far this playoffs, Game 4 will be back to the normal 20+ FTs given between those two.

[Emperor Smeat]

Not my fault that is how it is in regards to anytime the Heat are involved. Especially in the huge difference in FTs between this game and last game in regards to Lebron alone even though Lebron played almost the same way in both games.

Knicks fans and Pacers fans felt the same just from this post-season alone.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Even when the Celtics win, their fans bitch about the refs.

Not as much bitching as Labron does. Call fouls for me or I'll talk in your ear for 48 minutes.

Knicks fans and Pacers fans felt the same just from this post-season alone.

Yeah, the Knicks and Pacers would have beaten the Heat otherwise, I'm sure. Fact is, if you have two guys like Lebron and Wade who drive to the rim a lot, they're going to get hacked. It's not as if they're being given free throws from taking 25 jump shots.

So, CTS has inspired me to write the next 50 or so posts in Limerick form, if you don't know what that is...then fucking Google it, or pay a visit to causal.













THE ECF is in full swing
Miami and Boston have done their thing
But there comes a gripe
from pacers and knick fans alike
why don't you all shut the fuck up

David Stern wants the NBA to lose it's association with Rap guys. So, continue rhyming.

2-2 Series Tied. If the C's can somehow win in Game 5 they could clinch at home with Game 6.

[Crimson]

Damn that was a great look. Thought he was going to make it.. we have 2 great series here

[Emperor Smeat]

:D Celtics win to tie the series but another bad 3rd Q and a lead blown almost cost them tonight. Heat have been a lot better coming from the halftime break than the Cs so far this series.

Biggest shock was Lebron fouling out since according to ESPN this was the first time ever in the playoffs and first time overall in 4 years (3 career total before today).

[SammyG]

lololol LeBron. It's weird that I am actually going for Boston.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

We don't want you to be going for Boston :)

Tony Parker has to top falling on the ground and grabbing his mouth.

He pushed him back court.

Tony Parker is totally in Westbrook's head though.

Westbrook stop ballhogging the balll..give it to KD!!

Why wouldn't you call a timeout if you're The Thunder?

C'mon

[Crimson]

Damnit

[Crimson]

Alright, OKC has to close it out in six. Don't want this back in texas

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

OKC will go fucking nuts in Game 6. I wouldn't want to be the Spurs right now.

[McLegend]

I don't know if OKC deserved to win based on how they played in the last 5 minutes, but that's a big win.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

lol @ Harden calling himself a role player

[Emperor Smeat]

:D Celtics win on the road and 1 away from the Finals.

Nail bitter near the end but the clutch shot by Pierce over Lebron was great. Rondo struggled shooting but he provided everything else and the Cs didn't suck in the 3rd quarter.

Bosh really looked good early on but then Miami barely did anything with him after the first Q.

[Keith]

The NBA Finals between the Heat and Spurs is going to be interesting. The Heat have been dominating the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals and the Spurs have been doing the same to the Thunder in the West.

If these two teams keep it up, it should make for an explosive finals, because they will go head-to-head with no doubt that they are the two most dominant teams in each conference.

I may have single-handedly affected the NBA playoffs. When I wrote this, the Heat and Spurs were ahead. Now, they are both facing elimination.

I am so, so sorry.

[CSL]

was placing some "online sporting bets" about a week ago and could have gotten 66/1 on the Celtics to go all the way, was tempted to put money each way on it. Really quite regretting not doing it now

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I hope the plus rep I give you now will help ease the pain of your guilt. Thank you.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

lol @ Harden calling himself a role player

Well his beard would fit in a Role Playing Game.

[Crimson]

Im really hoping its Thunder/Celtics. Can't write off either team yet though.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Not a chance can't count anybody out yet. Still a lot of basketball that needs to be played. Can't wait for both of the game 6's.

[Keith]

Increasing talk about the Heat "big three" not being together next season if Miami is eliminated by Boston. If this does in fact happen, I wonder who goes. My guess would be Bosh, but he's shown to be very valuable to that team, they've really missed him these playoffs. Would LeBron opt out?

[OssMan]

No way. He's not ready to abandon his claim of winning "not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven, but multiple championships" with them.

[Ermaximus]

If anything, Miami dumps D. Wade.

[alvarado52]

You really think so? Wade had been their poster boy for so long, I don't see them every parting ways

[Keith]

If Miami does in fact decide to break up the "big three", Chicago should try to get Bosh.

[Ermaximus]

If Chicago got Bosh, they would be pretty damn scary as a team.

[Keith]

Definitely.

[Emperor Smeat]

It would probably be Bosh since he's been "trashed" by everyone ever since the Heat's Big 3 formed. They really can't get rid of Wade since he's the "face of the franchise" and Lebron's image would take a huge hit if he's the one tossed out.

The weird thing is Miami really doesn't do much with him except have him grab some rebounds since their entire offense revolves around Lebron or Wade with the ball. The advantage the Cs have in the series is they have a whole offensive set to revolve just around KG when needed and don't need Rondo or Pierce to be involved except for passing the ball to KG.

[Ermaximus]

Rose, Bosh, and Deng sounds nice.

[Keith]

The Bulls would definitely be the team to beat. As a Bulls fan, I'd be all for it.

[Krimzon7]

Wade would be the odd one out. YOu don't trade the league MVP, and Bosh is invaluable. His absence has proven that. While DWade has the 'clutch' moniker. he's struggled mightly in the playoffs. His body is primed for a breakdown.

WIth all that said, nobody is leaving...except Spolestra

[Keith]

Watch the Heat bring back Stan Van Gundy haha.

[Triple Naitch]

Yet, D-Wade is the only one of the three to win a ring.

[weather vane]

CELTICS BABYYYYYYYY!!!!

[Crimson]

Let's not jinx this one more game to go

[SammyG]

1 more loss for faggot ass LeBron to be done..

[Crimson]

OKC got some calls at home but i'll take it. FINALSSS

[Emperor Smeat]

Wow Spurs picked the wrong time to struggle. Had a 2-0 series lead and the undefeated playoff record only to see that gets wrecked in the next 4 games. To cap it off they blow the biggest lead ever in the team's playoff history.

Durrant one step closer to becoming the new top star of the NBA assuming the Thunder were to win the title.

[Keith]

This Spurs/Thunder series could be a mirror image of what would happen if OKC faces Boston in the Finals.

[Ermaximus]

This should happen. I like Kevin Durant as a player and his game seems to only get better each year.

[Keith]

After today, I'm convinced that the First Take "debates" Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith do are scripted.

[Crimson]

Explain

[Keith]

Maybe it's the way Stephen A. Smith acts (or overacts), IDK.

I'd have to go back and watch the show to point out specifics.

[Emperor Smeat]

Lebron hinted the team and himself in general is starting to get tired which could play a huge role if they were to advance to the Finals while the Celtics making sure the Graden is uncomfortable for the Heat during pre-game warm ups.

They set the stadium's temperature to the 50s just to try to disrupted the Heat's warmups since they are not used to cold courts. Might have even placed a sheet of ice for hockey underneath the court just for this game like it normally is during the season for Bruins games.

[Keith]

The Heat look to be just fine so far.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

pouty face LeBron is pretty good

[Keith]

LeBron is carrying Wade and the rest of the team.

[Crimson]

See. You guys bring up how Miami might trade everyone away THEN THIS HAPPENS :mad:

[Emperor Smeat]

:mad: what is with the Cs and having a fear of closing out series the first chance possible.

Most likely will lose this one with how bad they've played all game and something like 14-11 when it comes to ending a series since the Big 3 formed.

Thunder are benefiting the most since either they get what will be a tired Lebron who had to do all the work for the Heat for the Finals or a Cs team who barely had any rest in between series.

[Keith]

What I don't understand is how Miami doesn't play like this all the time. So far they've turned it up when they've had to (against Indiana and now), but how many times can you do that until it catches up with you?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Had a feeling this could happen. I guess almost losing is the "choke symbol" from the last series.

No reason to think Labron could do that two games in a row. Series goes to Game 7 and the Thunder watch and rest.

No matter who wins on Saturday. I think we will have a somewhat quick NBA Finals with the Thunder taking it.

[Keith]

Yeah, I don't see the Heat or Boston beating OKC.

But then again, we've seen my predictions turn to shit, so I won't even go any further.

[Nark Order]

Seattle :(

[Crimson]

I think Miami can give OKC problems. Lebron and Bosh primarily. OKC is still a jump shooting team, but so was Dallas last year. They both have played with great defense. If it's a close game though thr Thunder have proved to be able to close em out. Where as Lebron freezes and lays back

[SammyG]

LeBron was unreal last night, and this is coming from a hater.

[Innovator]

Supposedly from the Tri-City Herald in Kennewick, Washington.

[James Steele]

:lol:

They didn't give a fuck about the team until after they moved and became successful.

[Triple Naitch]

Dunno. Those Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton, Detlef Schrempf days were SIKKKKKK.

[Skippord]

and Seattle fans supported the Sonics fairly well the whole time they were there I believe

[Triple Naitch]

Pretty sure it was more of a new arena deal than the fans not caring.

[James Steele]

Did the arena thing never even go to a vote?

[Skippord]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_SuperSonics_relocation_to_Oklahoma_City

I do not feel like reading this whole thing, but here you go

[Emperor Smeat]

I think there is a documentary and a Grantland article that blames the whole issue between 3 things:

1) Stern having one of his "buddies" buy the Sonics with no intention of keeping them there.
2) City and state was unwilling to pay hundreds of millions again for a new stadium due to the Seahawks just had their stadium built.
3) Howard Schultz while good as an owner of Starbucks was a complete dumbass as a sports owner.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

4) Paid attendance numbers differing from the the number of people watching.

Report from 2006

http://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Sonics-attendance-comes-with-a-big-but-1223397.php

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Theres an NBA.com front page article that says "Please pretty please let the Heat and the Thunder play in the NBA Finals."

What kind of fucking garbage article is this and why is it on the main page of the NBA?

Fuck you Shaun Powell.

[Keith]

Now I don't know what to do Saturday night. Either watch the Heat vs Celtics Game 7, or the Pacquiao fight. Decisions.

[Emperor Smeat]

Pacquiao-Bradley fight itself is getting delayed until the end of the Heat vs Cs game so no need to decide.

Either Pac's manager or himself made the request and it got approved considering Pac is a Cs fan and wants to see the game on tv. Nobody bothered to ask Bradley but he didn't care in the end.
