What an awkward situation for Jay Crawford and that other guy sitting at the table with them (couldn't tell who it was). Kind of a dick move by Jalen too. Oh well, Skip's a ratings whore, he kinda deserves it.

Jalen did what skip does. Take certain facts to make his point and leave out the rest of the story. Skip just doesn't know how to take what he dishes out.

I wonder what the Bobcats' record would have been in an 82 game season.

Hornets sold to Tom Benson, Saints owner

Report -- New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson lines up to buy New Orleans Hornets - ESPN

I thought NFL owners weren't allowed to be majority owners of another team? Pretty sure I heard that somewhere..

I'm just glad that the NBA no longer owns them. It's unfair to both fans and players. I would assume that this now means there's no shot the Hornets are relocated. I know David Stern was able to negotiate a new lease for the Hornets to stay at their arena for another 12 years, I believe.

Arena deal to keep Kings in Sacto falls apart

Jesus, just get the Maloof's to sell the team. That family is incompetent. Bring them to Kansas City. Or better yet, Louisville. I want a reincarnation of the Kentucky Colonels. DeMarcus Cousins could be the next Artis Gilmore :smug:

Wow the nets upset Philly. Does Anyone here believe that we will face Philly in the first round? Very dissapointing second round for this team.

If they play the way they used to play in the first round it is the only team i am scared of in the east. But if they play like now.. they will be easier than the knicks.

possibly. After NY wins, they'll be tied for the 8th seed.

I'd rather play philly than NY. Every game with NY has been tight this season.. even the ones with Rose healthy.

But we won or we lost due to bad luck. Against Philly we lost badly in the first game and the second we were trailing by 10 until Rose took his gun. You cant say we beat them easily.

Id rather face the knicks than Philly.
And I don't want to see NY either in the first round.
Both would be a tough 1st round.
But philly scares me more.
Philly has exposed us time and time again.
Probably match up with us better than 80% of the league.

Heard Barkley say yesterday that the Heat would have an easier road to ECF if Boston remains in 4th place...

Is it just me or are people underrating Indiana? I would think Hibbert and West give the Heat problems. I don't get it...
