Peeps forget how supportive the Kings fans were too. I'm definitely cheering for Seattle to get a team, just think it would suck if it came at the expense of Kings fans.

Knicks better come out swinging in the 4th.
I'm having trouble playing "Where's Spike Lee?" tonight. Which is the adult version of "Where's Waldo?" I was under the impression he's got his own seat on the team plane since all he's been doing nowadays is attending Knicks games. |

A Grizzlies/Warriors Conference Finals would be refreshing.

Stern would flip if the Pacers and Grizz got to the Finals. ESPN would go out of their way to make Marc Gasol seem like the greatest player since they made Kendrick Perkins seem like the greatest player after his trade.

I want the Golden State Warriors to win everything so badly. It isn't likely, but damnit, that would be amazing.

Memphis winning the NBA Finals would likely put Stern on suicide watch. I'm somewhat ok with this since I don't care for Stern.

He's gone at the end of this season anyway. He's probably in I don't give a fuck mode. I'm looking for him to do a crotch grab towards the fans during the awarding of the Finals trophy.

What are the odds that Roger Goodell and Stern are "bros" in real life? They are both hated by fans, both booed whenever they appear, and both are pretty much smary chodes.

NBA owners voted to keep the Kings in Sacramento at least for the near future and rejected the extra $100 million offered by the Seattle group. Still need to find a new majority owner since the Maloofs refuse to sell their share to the Sacramento group.

Too big of a market tv-wise to just drop. They'd lose all of Canada and whatever sponsors/ad revenues they bring in.
Moving Vancouver over a decade was a lot easier since that team was only a few years old and loosing them didn't impact their overall Canadian market. The Grizzles have been in Memphis a lot longer than they ever were in Vancouver. |

Time for Seattle to sue the NBA. They agreed not to sue because they were told they'd get a team plus the Seattle Super Sonics records and history. They've been dicked around long enough. Commissioner Stern is a piece of shit.

Stern is gone next season, do you think he really gives a fuck either way? He just wants to see Miami win another title so he can retire and stay at home while diddling himself.

I bet the NBA is salivating over the possibility of a grizzlies/Pacers finals
Worst ratings forever |

there isn't much of a possibility of that
and they'd probably be pretty psyched about Memphis making the finals since the other two options are Golden State and San Antonio |

Golden state = California which would be ratings. Plus the warriors have a star player in curry.
San Antonio is always a ratings black hole when they get to the fnls but they have star players. How many of the 10 Pacers/grizzlies starting 5 combined can the average NBA fan name. +/- is probably ..3 |

Golden State's like the fourth most popular team in California but right after I posted that I was like "oh yeah I guess people would want to watch Steph Curry"
I also just hate Golden State and San Antonio so I may be biased. |

Doubt it would go lower than what the Spurs vs Cavs did since at least Indiana is a decent basketball market. Not even Lebron and all his early hype as the next Jordan-like mega star saved that series ratings-wise.

Call me crazy, but I think the Pacers could make the conference finals a hell of a lot more interesting for the Heat. The Heat had a losing regular season record to the Pacers and Indiana plays that same sort of physical style the Bulls play that gets under the Heats skin. Really hoping for that matchup even though I think Knicks fans are the best in basketball and MSG would probably be a better crowd atmosphere.

The only thing about the Warriors making the Finals would be the SF/Oakland area making the last 3 pro championships (World Series, Super Bowl, NBA Finals). Technically probably not an accomplishment since they arent the same city but still. Would have been super crazy had the Sharks not got bounced from the NHL Playoffs.
