.. and know that there's an arena waiting for you. Congrats Seattle; tough luck Sac, but you probably didn't deserve a team in the first place.

Kings/Royals are both dope names, but both are obviously cursed. Sucks because Seattle Kings / Seattle Royals both sound dope imo. They should at least burn all Kings-related graphic design predating 1990; former logo + unis were great.

what's Reggie Theus up to these days

rick adelman missing 2nd game in a row for "personal reasons"...hmm...

:(

its kinda fun to think abt how at one point in time naming anything the kings wouldve been grounds for dismemberment

Seattle will be the Sonics. OKC ownership required to relinquish trademark to the name if Seattle got another team. All the trophies and such are still in Seattle, too.

I just hope OKC decides to relinquish all claims to the history and accomplishments; with that team, they're forging a history to be proud of there in Oklahoma.

also lakers should relinquish their minneapolis banners

haha wolves should totally claim them

one day just hang a bunch of banners from the ceiling, retire kareems number like what

haha yes more insurrection plz

one sentence press release: There are no lakes in Los Angeles.

lakers can be the kings now just like their hockey team ps there's no ice in los angeles

Steve Ballmer, Dolan the bluesman, that Russian jetski guy, that awful slumlord Sterling, the Comic Sans guy from the Cavs .... sheesh

not a cool gang

exclusive nu melo/garnett post game video http://www.tmz.com/2013/01/09/kevin-garnett-carmelo-anthony-fight-video-knicks-celtics

Paul Flannery ‏@Pflanns
One game suspension for Melo.

lol at them threatening to "fight" each other in front of like 60 people

IMA GET YOU, IF ONLY MY LAWYER AND 6 BODYGUARDS AND THE OWNERS NIECES AND NEPHEWS WERENT IN THE WAY

MY ESTRANGED WIFE DOES NOT TAStE LIKE CEREAL TAKE IT BACK OR DOES SHE I DONT EVEN REMEMBER HER FACE ANYMORE SOB

I mean serious though, these guys would have never even thrown a punch if NO one was around.

Kings/Royals are both dope names, but both are obviously cursed. Sucks because Seattle Kings / Seattle Royals both sound dope imo. They should at least burn all Kings-related graphic design predating 1990; former logo + unis were great.

Royals won a world series though. Few things compare to what has happened to the Kings. Those fans have to live with game 6 and their franchise withering and leaving.

http://aol.sportingnews.com/nba/story/2013-01-05/amare-stoudemire-injury-stats-defense-knicks-suns-mike-dantoni-mike-woodson-melo

In discussing the New York Knicks’ new focus on guarding the opposition, Stoudemire said he hadn’t “been taught defense” in his 10-year NBA career before this season. D’Antoni, now head coach of the LA Lakers, coached Stoudemire in Phoenix and New York. He was astounded upon hearing the statement, to say the least.

Tommy Heinsohn ‏@CSNTommy
Did a player ever threaten to fight Tommy in the parking lot after the game? "They wouldn't dare."

kind of amazing how clips have turned a bunch of the laker's old trash and an unrepentant gunner into a killer defensive bench mob

matt barnes has always been kinda underrated though, i wanted the c's to get him a couple years ago when they ended up with pietrus instead

super psyched for the nu-sonics, hope that really happens

hilarious that ballmer is involved

rebounders, rebounders, rebounders!

god barnes would have been so much better in that role

he could have had all the money they wasted on marquis and sasha pavlovic

jeff green just did back2back monster throwdowns

Timmy is sonning Robert sacre so hard right now

balmer sees that paul allen has preserved a public profile after leaving microsoft only because he owns two sports teams. balmer wants to be noticed, I'm guessing.

tommy says abt jeff green 'one dribble drives that exactly whats gonna make him a superstar'

on melo:

“I get suspended for a phone hang-up and people just get away with anything in his league,” said a tongue-in-cheek Rajon Rondo, who was suspended one-game for allegedly bumping official Rodney Mott on Saturday in Atlanta and being “unresponsive” to a league inquiry on Monday. “Oh, my goodness, so that’s the same thing huh? The rep I’ve earned, I’ll have to deal with it.”

why the hell would that be a flagrant

cause it was unnecessary

Melo suspended and Love out 8-10
