Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I went by this
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Metropolitan_Statistical_Areas
Obviously it depends on what is the 'Metro"
EDIT: LMFAO Holy shit that's taking liberties if Daytona is included in Orlando Metro.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
That list splits off the South Bay/Silicon Valley and San Jose as separate, who are big enough to rank as 34th by themselves. They're a signficant portion of the sports demographic here and definitely should be included as part of the Bay Area metro area.
heat fans had to deal with that dumb bullshit for years
Embrace the hate that being elite brings
You mean the same Heat fans who left the Finals early?
The same Heat fans who had to "Fan Up"
The same Heat fans that didn't sell out the opener this year because Bron was gone?
K.
And what's your point? You sound like just like every moron who dropped the same repeated joke because Of your obvious jealousy
I don't think they will go that direction though. They need some bench Wing depth and their starting lineup wants to get it in marc and zbo hands anyways even if tony allen is one of the worst spacing guards in the league

Blazers ran the Houston play but Lillard passed up the shot, could have been an amazing comeback.

As far as TV markets go, that's right.

San Francisco is 6.
I think they will. They were starting Prince over Allen for a reason lol
ps: Udrih is amazing

Meanwhile, Golden State went for 131 in regulation by themselves.
The Lakers blatant tanking is pretty insulting to fans IMO. Kobe sitting on B2Bs is one thing (still BS) but being unable to play after resting since Thursday is a slap in the face to anyone who bought tickets to that game. It's pretty shameful and Adam Silver has to step in here.
Before anyone brings up the Spurs precedent, no one cares if Duncan doesn't play cos no one goes to games just to watch him...
It's a game in Phoenix. the Lakers organization couldn't care less
I would bet that just as many Lakers fans bought tickets to that game as Suns fans. It's just not right to punish fans for bad management decisions
LMAO! If Adam Silver doesn't look towards the direction of Philly/Boston why should he look at the Lakers?
Lakers have the perfect stealth tank - play Kobe for some minutes for the fans, have Byron Scott continually do dumb rotations and have terrible offense and defensive schemes, and have a couple of decent players that might be able to get them another first rounder. Oh and put out the typical "We're the Lakers" PR. Lakers fans better be ready for another year of suckage and hopefully another lottery pick before they become decent.
Just that you think your "fans" didn't deserve the criticism. Yet they are the prime example of what not to do as a fanbase.

I hope the lakers do actually shutdown Kobe. I'd love to see Lin get more minutes. I don't think any team will sign him at this point or if they do... He won't get much play time

Probably so, but he did have history with the team prior to Linsanity.
Just loaded with PGs at that time.

I want to say that he was put in unfavorable positions or just utilized wrong but TBH he peaked as a knick..as much as I'd like him to encore Linsanity, given the talent level of the PG position across the league and his limitations as a player... It just ain't happening...
I mean getting demoted twice for Beverley and now Price is telling

I don't think Jeremy is good enough to start, but he can be a good backup. I'd certainly take him over JJ Barea (as well as JJ Barea as played). But I don't think him being demoted for Ronnie Price is an indication of his ability - this pretty much all but confirmed it to me. Like who, aside from Byron Scott, believes that Ronnie Price is better than Jeremy Lin?
Additionally, Lin very rarely has any spacing when he tries to run the pick and roll with the lineup he's in (which is what he's best at). Meanwhile Byron Scott runs this bizarre mix of Princeton and triangle - it's only because the team has pretty decent shot makers that they have a decent offensive ranking.

Yeah I always thought it was weird how quickly Scott demoted Lin. I mean even during preseason, Price seemed like frontrunner for starting PG and I got the impression Byron Scott begrudgingly demoted him..

Weeky Power Rankings out tomorrow.
ATL on top again?
ATL on top again?
No disagreements about that.
Like check out his comparisons:
Obviously Pop is an exception, but it's amazing how many more losing months Byron Scott has in comparison to Doc and Flip Saunders. When was the last time he coached a winning team?

Dude, the list you posted combined markets that spanned across 4-5 different states. That's ridiculous
Metro stat > encompassing combined
BUT I THOUGHT REAL FANS WOULD NEVER LEAVE A CHAMPIONSHIP GAME EARLY
The fact that you have to post this shows how much it hurt you when people point out the shittiness of "Heat fans."
This isn't video of people walking out of the stadium, this isn't "fans" desperately trying to get back in and pounding on the door. Its like 8 people standing outside a window watching a tv.

A team fanbase that can't outdraw a Sacramento team that has been on its way out of the city forever or a Pacers team in a city that doesn't care about pro basketball doesn't deserve a trip to the finals.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
There's some ESPN Insider article up about how the Cavs should trade Kevin Love.
That's some funny shit. You won't get equal value.. especially when you take into account what you gave up to get him.
Nobody with a great PF is trading that PF for a rental of K-Love at this point.. nobody.

Speaking of trades, ESPN says the Suns are actively shopping Miles Plumlee. Anyone need a solid backup in the paint? Everyone, right?

Raps lose again to a team they shouldn't fuck. Pelicans had no Davis and give up a Evans layup.
Bad opinion is bad. Yeah just forget about the fans that do support the team or the fans that can't afford to the go to games. And let's also ignore the fact that Atlanta is probably the biggest transit city in the entire country.

If they want people to stop tanking they need to do something about the draft rules. In the meantime enjoy knowing our pick is likely not going to Phoenix for that bum Nash.
And honestly, even without Kobe we're still 10x more entertaining to watch tank than the Knicks.
Wait, today? Warriors play Denver at 1 PM pacific.
Which reminds me, my company not taking a holiday for MLK day is a real drag.
At work. Won't be able to watch anything until Mavs-Grizz.
At work listening on the radio.

Horford is real good at pulling the chair on defense. I'm surprised I don't see that move more.
