getting those bottom 4 play off seeds in the east for the last 6 years didn't really count for much in terms of a "good" season.

It's also really easy to maintain that when you're a big market team with an owner willing to spend. Especially when most of your competitions are either 1) cheap, and/or 2) dumb.

Jeremy's jump shot has looked really good recently, putting up 12-7 in 24 minutes next year on great %s and defense, bet on it.

First this:

FOX40 has learned exclusively about an innovative new plan to solve the Kings' arena problems. A group of government and business leaders is discussing it and hopes to talk with Kings owners Joe and Gavin Maloof to go over it as early as Friday.

Then this:

Marc J. Spears
Source close to Kings situation found Sac TV report of a new way to keep team from leaving laughable. Called chances of team staying remote.

It's such a joke that the NBA is going to let the Kings leave Sacramento for Anaheim.

 

[linsivvi]

It's way too crowded. 3 teams within an hour of each other? At least kick the Clippers off to somewhere else.

 

[exarkun]

Its terrible, but if their arena sucks and their practice facilities shitty...what should they do? Hows their attendance?

I honestly hate it when cities don't care enough about a team to get them new arena or facilities. That and when there aren't that many fans that go.

 

[captmcblack]

They should've gone to Vegas.

Attendance: 489,312 (28th of 30)
13,592 per game (29th)

Bit skewed though since they've been one of the three worst teams in the NBA for the last several seasons, that will naturally bring down attendance.

Sacramento can't get one done, but it's not because the people don't care. The Maloofs ran the team into the ground and turned off a lot of people. They've continue to meddle and screw up the rebuild following the Webber-led teams. But Sacramento also sold out ARCO 17 of 26 seasons the team was there.

Fact is that there are no new arenas or stadiums being built in anywhere in California. Do people in San Diego not care about the Chargers because they can't get them a new stadium built?

ARCO is ancient, but so is Honda Center. It seats less than 18,000. It'll be the smallest arena in the league, and it's right in the back yard of the Lakers and Clippers. This is a lousy move.

 

[Adam Blade]

In the Honda Center's defense, it still is newer than the ARCO Arena.

 

[reilo]

By six seasons, yet the Honda Center only seats 300 more.

The sad part is that there's nothing to do in Sacramento anyway, so with these figures, that's how you know you suck.

Shoulda gone to Vegas. Not sure what kind of support they expect down there, they'll be second-rate to the Clippers.

Songs for the Deaf is quite an apropos name. This shit isn't very interesting to listen to, and the radio interludes are annoying.

It has only 3 tracks worth a damn: No One Knows, First it Giveth, and Go With the Flow. It gets way too much love because it was the introduction of a lot of people to QotSA.

Lullabies to Paralyze is much better.

Not their best album for sure but i still can't hate on the singles from that album (go with the flow and no one knows).

Lullabies to Paralyze is much better.

I love "tangled up in plaid" and "i never came".

I don't see it as a bad move, but i don't see it as a good move either. Seems completely lateral, a move for moves sake. For every bit of new revenue they're going to get, is probably going to be spent on the relocation fee's and rebranding anyway. Then in 6 years, they're going to either move into staples as the 3rd team, or relocate. Seems to make more sense to just relocate now, out of state, to me.

Chandler is mediocre. The evidence is his career to date.

Chauncy is better on O, and makes much smarter decisions and less stupid passes than felton. I know it seems odd to say, because i also think he can be bit of a chucker, but he's still a great 3pt shooter (shooting over .400 for the season). They only gave up some D, but chauncy CAN play D when he chooses too. But he's backed up by absolutely no interior D at all.

the only real loss is on that third player, because if you think gallo is == melo, you're insane. But gallo plays the same position so he was always going to be redundant anyway.

And i didn't say anything about team USA, nor is there any logical reason to bring it up, have you got a chip on your shoulder about something? Amare didn't go to beijing either, i wouldn't call him a role player?

Don't bother arguing with him. He only seems to post after Knicks lose. I thought he was a Denver fan but he doesn't seem to post during Denver games... it's weird. But to add to the argument, would the Knicks have commuted 5/80 to Chandler? I doubt it...

 

[diehard]

The chorus kills it.

That is still a good album. "Hangin' Tree" is a nice change of pace from Homme, "Gonna leave you" isnt a bad song.

 

[etiolate]

Its terrible, but if their arena sucks and their practice facilities shitty...what should they do? Hows their attendance?

I honestly hate it when cities don't care enough about a team to get them new arena or facilities. That and when there aren't that many fans that go.

The Arena is older but it's not easy to build sports complexes in California. It takes a lot of work and public funding, and the Maloofs already killed one vote to get it an arena going. The Anaheim arena is only five years newer and they are already talking of trying to get public funding to improve it for the Maloofs. It also doesn't help that Sacramento is one of the hardest hit cities due to the housing market collapse.

The practice facility is state of the art and one of the best if not the best in the NBA.

Attendance is down from when the city had the long sellout streak, but they're still drawing 12-13k while being one of the worst teams in the league for at least three years running.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

They're decent, but it's a bad Queens album.

R > Lullabies > Self-Titled > Era Vulgaris > SftD

But I adore Lullabies. Something about depressed Homme is magic.

 

[diehard]

I actually don't really like their self titled album, it sounds kinda generic to me, like they had not found "their sound" yet.

"Make it wit chu" has been my ring tone for like 3 years.

Well I might be if the Clippers win tomorrow.....

I don't think anyone should. Chandler as a starter on any chip team would be that teams derek fisher. Off the bench how ever... he could be quite useful.

Damn, haven't heard DS in a while. Really really wish homme and harvey would collaborate again.

Like i said, the chorus from "I'm Designer" is god-tier.

Misfit Love, Make it Wit Chu, 3s and 7s, Suture Up Your Future.

I don't mind Sick, Sick, Sick, either.

It's a shame about the rest of the song.

 

[Black Mamba]

Only really liked that, turnin' on the screw, and 3's and 7's off the album. Sure, compared to most music it's still a decent album, but not nearly as good as anything QotSA released prior and nowhere close to Rated R. And this version of make it with chu is just inferior to the original, so I was disappointed there.

Aren't they recording again?

 

[ph33nix]

Lumping Sportscenter "superstars" together with no care of how they will work and play together without adding any complimentary good players along with them is not how you win in the league.

It'd be one thing if they could keep adding next year but it seems neither the Knicks nor Heat can really improve their rosters drastically so they are stuck with incomplete teams with no quality reserve depth.

Throwing talent on a roster means shit.

As Denver has shown, a bunch of decent to good players is better than a few so called superstars with nothing else.

Ok, answer this then. Last summer, in the situation we were in, what would you have done instead?

And I love how you are talking like the Heat will never win a championship. Is Chicago's success really making you that arrogant?

They should bring them back to KC where the nearest NBA team is 5 1/2 hours away, there's a beautiful, state of the art NBA arena waiting for them, and they'll have a nutty fanbase who'll give them 20k attendance even if they suck.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Supposedly after this tour.

Hopefully we get another TCV album within the next couple years, too.

they're touring before releasing an album? I just read A Perfect Circle is back and touring too, but no album.

I didn't know Corey Brewer was on the Bulls. Adding him would definitely make the Bulls' bench a little above average.

Ph33, if the Bulls had gotten Bosh and LeBron, I don't know if it would've been the same thing because Rose wasn't viewed to be as good as Wade at the time. I know Chicago wouldn't have thrown that celebration rally thing. At the same time, I would've been completely crazy and probably would've acted the same way that all Heat fans did, but I don't think the hate would've been half as large as it is now.

I'm gonna say this one more time: It was not the players' fault the celebration was thrown. That got them off guard and they didn't know it happened till they got to arena. If anything, hate on the organization...but then again, that was for the city of Miami. Not anyone else.

D-Wade or LeBron could have stepped up and said, "hey, we don't want to do that yet". No, instead they went along with it and gave us a lot of obnoxious quotes like, "Yeah, we are going to be real Hollywood down here" and "Not one...not two...."
