Rooting for OKC all the way! If not them then San Antonio. West!!!!!!

Amazing game last night. Excited for tonight. Playoffs have not disappointed.

Hm, I had San Antonio to win it all (and they were undefeated for a long time) but 3 L's in a row, this could go eather way, game 6 is must watch …

I think that playing every other day at their collective age is starting to show. OKC has young legs. Tough to beat when the talent is so evenly matched. Either way, a great series!

Celtics will wrap this series up tonight!
Not so fast. Unfortunately I had a few too many at my local and ended up passing out through the whole game on my couch. Hate the Heat. Glad I didn't have to see that last night. Game 7 they have to take it…

That was the real Miami Heat team that finally showed up last night. If they played like that more often in the playoffs they'd be on championship 2 by now.
Yeah and if MJ was on the Warriors all those years my squad would have a shit ton of banners at The Coliseum.

So it's been a while since there's been a post in this thread. It doesn't seem to get much attention without Lando. Hopefully, it picks up when the Playoffs start. The NBA Playoffs are always good.
Has anyone else been following this Kings/Sonics fiasco? I'm curious to hear if anyone has an opinion on it?
My view is that this ordeal is a lose/lose for the NBA. Regardless of the outcome, one city is going to have its heart ripped out. In Seattle's case, it would be twice, now.
David Stern really screwed up with the OKC move. The only silver lining is watching him squirm in this bed of shit he's made.
Okay, breath…
I can't be the only person on here that cares about this? Or am I?

big NBA fan here so you're not alone. been one of the most exciting regular seasons in years, especially for the casual fan. multiple 15+ game winning streaks; young, league-pass darlings out west in denver, houston and golden state; plenty of drama for the lakers to keep media fed; lots of playoff seeding at stake so lots of relevant games down the stretch; also cool to see the emergence of john wall.
as to the sacramento/seattle situation, i agree that one city will be disappointed. the league appears to have learned from the way it handled the seattle to okc transfer and the resulting negative publicity. especially given the economic/social climate over the last 5 years, the move evokes images of back-room deals among rich, old white guys who colluded to "steal" the sonics from the loyal fans of seattle and beyond. it is no surprise that this time david stern/the league have made sure that the process appears transparent and legitimate to the public.
i haven't paid attention to the details of each prospective ownership groups/city's bids but as long as sacramento shows it has the financial backing to run the team it doesn't look good if seattle wins the bid. i think stern wants seattle to win as the move to okc really hurt his legacy. yes people in sacramento will be upset(i am one of them) but seattle is more relevant nationwide and giving the city a team before he retires will probably be the final major move of his reign as arguably the greatest commissioner ever(i have a hate/love relationship with stern).

Another NBA fan over here. Followed the league as closely as possible back in the nineties when it was televised in Germany. Kind of lost track in the last decade to start again just in time to see Dirk finally winning the title. So much easier to follow the league nowadays having internet, international league pass and podcasts like the basketball jones or bs report.
as to the potential seattle/sacramento move I think it cannot be justified from a marketing standpoint after all the bitterness the okc move created in Seattle. I´m much too far away to access how nba basketball is embraced by the city of Sacramento but the overall sentiment seems to be that they don´t need a move but a better GM.
I think Stern/Silver/the league will wait for a candidate that won´t leave as many fans broken hearts. I heard that the Pacers are struggling to fill their arena. Again, I don´t know much about different regions of the US but over here Indiana has the reputation for being crazy about college basketball, not NBA hoops.Bottom line: Would be great to discuss the playoffs with you guys!
