Yeah nothing to do in the Bay Area or LA or NY and yet they all support 2 basketball teams just fine. Sonics had decent crowds before they were taken away.

quite frankly there isn't much to do in NY. I don't really know the bay area or LA
so let me explain, i could leave my house and in twenty minutes be on the water or on a beach or doing something nice outside in an area that wasn't overtly urban when I lived in seatle. I know there aren't many places in NY like that.
have you ever tried to leave NY on a friday. you really don't know what you are talking about. yeah NY has restaurants and museums and shows. guess what who fucking cares. In seattle you can live close to a decent job and live a viable out doors life style. NY - no - absolutely fucking not. That is what I mean by seattle is not a sports town because there is so much to do
this is an outdoor site, why don't you post at metro_sexual.com
you may get a discount on beard conditioner and some skinny jeans
Because the outdoor activity set is the target NBA market?
well if it is not then why would they put a franchise in seattle. it is one of the most "outdoorsy" metro areas in the US
danno - please regale with tales of your NY upbring
please... i need to take a nap
why don't take a look at the mariner attendance figures this year...
second, if seattle was such a sports town why did schultz sell and why did bennett move it. Key arena was a great venus
oh wait, I bet you know all about seattle...
I agree with this sentiment. No municipality should pay for a pro sports team’s arena. SF has had OraclePark (formerly Pac Bell/AT&T) and now Chase Ctr (Dubs’ new arena) paid for with private $. And guess what? The teams have/will benefit greatly.Quote:

These are the teams with the worst attendance - which one do you move?
Pacers
Hornets
Pistons
Pellies
Grizzlies
Hawks
TWolves
Suns
Nets

shit, I am not smart enough to figure out that seattle is a non-sports town. it was widely quoted in the media when I was thereQuote:

The M's don't draw because they suck, but that would change with some decent ownership, as they have a great park.
Anecdotally, I went to the W's pre-season game at Key, (see 1st post), and the crowd was bonkers for past Sonics players, and current Storm players as well.
tax dollars being spent on that is ridiculous
i'm not a resident anymore so it doesn't matter
So...apparently CP3 isn't upset and didn't demand a trade deal?
Also, how long until Danny Ainge is fired?
CP3 is my least favorite player- i am enjoying seeing him being outed for the prima dona douchebag that he really is.Quote:

Since the report tonight from ESPN is that Al is looking for a contract with a non-Celtics team, I’d say about 36 hours after Al leaves.Quote:

Reports now say Kyrie going to Nets. Also reports that Harden told the Rockets to trade him or CP3.
These are the days of our lives.

Not trading away the farm for one year of AD who said he wouldn't re-sign with them was smart. Don't know about Horford but is there some backstory or something?Quote:

how long does it take to get to skiing in LA and the bay area? I was at alpental in an hour from my job in bellevue
go fuck yourself
It seems to be about money and contract length. Al is 33. It seems someone is offering 4 years and over $100 million. Clippers are the likely source of the offer. He has a 3 year deal with less annual $ on the table from the C's. Danny wants Clint Capela.Quote:

I don't even know, just saying that there are basketball teams in areas with plenty of other stuff to do? I split my time between a small town that is still somewhat agricultural / rural despite the tourists (with great MTB close-by), then at my place in Truckee with skiing out my backdoor. Not that it matters.Quote:

i guess it's my mistake that I took seriously what I heard on KUOW the public radio station in seattle and my own experiences
third, the seattle bad weather thing is a myth propagated by people that don't want you to move there. the summers are awesome. when it is raining in the winter it is pelting snow in the hills. snow - you know - skiing -ski website and all
but yeah LA and the Bay Area are outdoor meccas - seriously - they are
Uh, no, what I said was that just because a place has plenty of stuff to do doesn't mean they can't support an NBA team. The Sonics had slightly above average attendance over the years considering they had one of the smaller arenas. Not sure what you're so fucking angry about.Quote:

if this is sober you, you need help. seriously. not even sure what the hell you're arguing about, but obviously you're right, because you need to be right.Quote:
