Point guard, center, respectively.

Sorry IM. Word on the court is that Joe and Gavin have lost their ass on casinos and property in Nevada. Also used the Kings as collateral in some of the other business deals ala Tom Hicks. I've heard the Vegas move talk, but that's really unrealistic. Where are the other places. Seattle? Baltimore? San Diego? Bay area? Jacksonville? Now that I think about it, maybe moving isn't such a bad idea. St. Louis could support a team just as well as Sacramento. They'd be the only game in town in Cincinnati/Louisville.

They're the only game here.

Yeah, but it's implied that if Sacramento moves, it will not likely be to Sacramento. So at first one would think, "there's no place for them to move" but after 45 seconds of thought, it becomes clear that is not the case. They'd move back to Kansas city or cincy if either town built them a stadium.

I don't give a shit anymore. I'm just going to become a Raiders fan and call it a day.

Let's play a game. Top 5 favorite NBA teams. Take mine for what they're worth; I'd bet against any of these teams in a flash if I thought it was called for.

1. OKC Thunder. Love them. Durant + small market = awesome combo. Durant is league MVP and I don't think it's as close as the pundits pretend it is.

2. Houston Rockets. Hometown team has ran bad in big-money deals (McGrady and Yao) but has a smart front office that puts together scrappy teams that usually play in April-May.

3. Indiana Pacers. Part pity vote for my home state, part love for a rebuilding small market franchise. Would love to see these guys make waves with their current scrappy roster.

4. Milwaukee Bucks. Have family from Wisconsin but mostly just have love for the small market and a helluva promising roster.

5. Utah Jazz. Love Jerry Sloan. Most underrated coach in basketball history. People slob Jackson's knob but look at what this guy has accomplished with less talent. Also, D. Williams one of my favs.

Honorable mention: Bulls, Bobcats, Hornets, Clippers, Warriors

[Repugnant Abomination]

1. Blazers: They're my team, through the good and the bad. Unfortunately right now it's more bad than good. However, with the emergence of Batum and more consistency from Aldridge I still think they'll make the playoffs. It's just a damn shame such a promising team is beginning to crumble right before our eyes...Has any team endured more injuries in the last few years?

2. OKC Thunder: For reasons UB said. Durant is my favorite player in a long time. As a Portland fan it absolutely kills me we didn't take him - did I mention Oden is out again for the year? FML. Westbrook is pretty damn amazing too.

3. Celtics: I know most people hate the C's, but I love their trash talking and swagger - not to mention their bullying defense. With KG finally recovered from his knee injury I think they challenge the Lakers again for the title.

4. Chicago: Rose is special. They're young and full of potential. I think they have a bright future.

5. The Hawks: Another young, super athletic team that is fun to watch when they're not being boneheads. I don't think they'll ever be a legit title threat though.

I think it's a very good sign for the league that your lists had so little overlap.

Going to see the Cs in a couple of nights, unfortunately it is against the Nets, but fuck it, it's at the Garden, right?*

(*No, it's not)

[Der Fuhrer]

I'm not a big NBA fan. I will watch the Pacers play and the playoffs but that's about it.

The Pacers have a lot of work to do, both on the court and in terms of their public image. I think the fight with the Pistons fans and all the other bullshit that some of the former players caused left a sour taste in the mouths of many Pacers fans.

[BigDongedHoe]

Also because we had the best team in the NBA that year.

[f3lix]

Watching somebody shoot a game winner over LeBron is so sexy.

[BigDongedHoe]

The NBA is my least favorite of all sports CBB, CFB, NFL, UFC, MLB NBA in that order. NBA is considerably behind the other ones by a considerable margin.

1) Pacers... always have been my favorite team since the Reggie Miller/Spike Lee rivalry

2) Clippers... I'm a huge IU fan and love Eric Gordon. Plus watching Blake Griffin is a good time

3) OKC... Durantula is a really fun player to watch

4) Warriors... Stephon Curry + Monta Ellis

I don't really have any teams past that. I guess I kinda like the Blazers a little bit too

These were amazing!! Liked the Mavericks, Bulls, Pacers, Celtics, Jazz, Nuggets, and Clippers the most, but they were all awesome. The only one I thought flat-out sucked was the Rockets. Making it all about Yao is just dumb. He's a skeleton/thing of the past for them now.

[angry pancake]

1. Cavs. Grew up with them as a kid.

2. Mavs. Adopted home team.

3. Whoever is playing the heat. They're chicken shit for they way they did freeagency. Pat Riley always has been a dooshbag.

4. Whoever plays the Knicks. Fuck spike lee and isiah Thomas. Everything Thomas has touched since he quit playing has turned to shit. Fuck him too.

5a.The hornets. A good team inspite of their fucked up inept ownership. He'll probably move the team to buffalo or some other city that failed to support it's franchise.

5b. Magic. Stan Van gundy reminds me of Ron Jeremy and that fat ass is my hero for actually fucking all of those bitches, he'd never have a chance with. I can imagine his response after his advances have been rejected. "Bitch, I get paid to fuck hotter pieces of ass than you." and it would probably be true.

I would like thunder, but I'm pissed at how they moved the team from Seattle.

[angry pancake]

Saw on a tv scroll that the Sacramento Kings are applying to move to analheim. Any local word on that.

[Ironic Mustache]

Nothing that can't be found on any sports website. I could really care less about the Kings.

What a laugher this has been.

Just came up on some free tickets to tonights Kings vs. 76ers game. I checked to see how good the seats are, and I'm in one of the executive suites. What an outstanding turn of events I've just had. I've sat in box seating before, but this will be a first. I'll let everyone know how awesome it was later. Considering this is most likely the last Kings game I'll ever go to, it's nice to go out in style.

[Ugly Bastard]

Pic or you stayed home and jerked off to Tyreke Evans.

[Orgazmo]

Pic or you just ate ham all night long (which would be better imo anyway (so pic of the ham you ate plz)).

[Ironic Mustache]

Despite that monumental beat down, I had a pretty awesome time. Free hot dogs, hot wings, chicken nuggets, chips, popcorn, brownies, cookies and fruit:



Free beer, wine, water and soders.



Decent private seating just above lower level.



Downsides: I had to drive home after drinking free beer all game. Also there was no ham.
