NBA Talk

What are ya'lls view on the NBA expanding into Las Vegas?

[loseyourname]

There are enough teams in the NBA. The addition of the Bobcats will make it an even 30; leave it at that.

[jilbagh]

There's talk of a team possibly moving. The NBA is splitting into 6 divisions in 2 conferences next season, simialr to the NHL format.

But I did read a good article about holding All Star Weekend there every year. It would take away the insulting formula of rejecting season ticket holders the chance to see the game in their own arena. Philly vowed never to host it again. Vegas is a great city to attract the game there! and the nightlife venues are good for it too....

but yeah, charlotte bobcats? lets hope they attract more attendance than Atlanta or the old Charlotte

now I don't know much about the NBA, but I'm positive that if the NBA comes back to Charlotte....hardly anybody would support the team and would rarely go to the games...the only reason that people ever went to see the Hornets play when they were in Charlotte was because they would be playing against a team that they liked, so rather then cheering and supporting our own team they'd support the enemies

Thats exactly what I thought. I'm wondering how long it will survive. Atlanta is suffering attendance woes, and the NBA should've addressed that issue before granting an expansion team.

Ref's blew it tonight in Atlanta, last 11 seconds...

ya lakers missed some free throws...they should've been on the line more!

3-2-1....1-2-3, what the hell is bothering me?

[loseyourname]

The Lakers should have won that game by 50 points at least anyway. They're the dagnam Hawks, for Christ's sake.

[jilbagh]

ya Lakers deserved to lose that one, and they're gonna kick themselves hard for it.
Tough rest of season coming up, Dallas, Sacramento(twice), San Antonio...hopefully Malone will be a factor in those.

btw...no Kobe for the March 24th game against Shaqramento (court date)

[jilbagh]

So guys...Kobe's out again with a sprained acromio-clavicular joint. They're saying 1-3 weeks he'll be out.

With everyone hopefully back by the end of March, about 15 days before playoff start, you think thats enough time to gel together and make a championship run?

They went 18-3 to start the season with everyone together, and that was with 2 weeks of training camp. And with the bench having to play more minutes, that give them more expierience and confidence. They'll be able to do it. But these injuries are pissing me off!!!

(thats my arguement)

[jilbagh]

Anyone else sick and tired of the 'Tape Delays' on KCAL? It's like watching a re-run. When we know the final score before the 2nd quarter even ends.

That is bullcrap...Lakers @ Minnesota tonight and its on a 1 hour tape delay. 5pm tip off, 6pm broadcast.

They claim they want to give a chance for Laker fans who work to watch...it's just an excuse to get more viewers to sell commercial time.

It's a bogus excuse, and to keep hair on my head they need to start doing it LIVE!!!
