NBA 2012-2013

That seems like too small of a market.

I think Seattle should get a team back before any other cities get expanded in to.

It's comparable to OKC. In fact Seattle is doing great in OKC.

Doesn't the East coast seem kind of saturated with teams though?

I'm sure the market could handle it.

I've wondered if Minnesota will move sometime as well.

Nice write up on Rashard Lewis, linked for SMR:

The Seattle duo of Allen and Lewis are combining to shoot 51% from 3pt range so far for Miami. And Allen says he feels better than he has for a while because he's just spotting up now instead of running off screens all game long. I wonder how well those two will actually be playing in May.

Westbrook came into the game tonight with a FG% of 38%. He's 4-16 so far against Chicago.

I just can't imagine Rashard Lewis working out for Miami. That said, perhaps one should never underestimate LeBron's ability to make guys better. Ray Allen, in this short season, has been everything they could have hoped for and more, IMO.

A team in the Hampton Roads area would work well, there's nothing really too close basketball wise besides the Wizards, but it would be a mess in regards to division alignment. I guess you could move the Bucks to the West somehow.

If there's another team moving anytime soon besides the Kings, it's the Bucks and their outdated arena.

Did anyone notice Brooklyn Nets' new mascot?

Apparently, Brooklyn teamed up with Marvel Comics to create this dude. His name is BrooklyKnight and a comic book was issued to commemorate his existence. Here is a copy of the comic book:



It is cool to get Marvel involved, to the extent that any of this stuff can be cool, but the execution is sorely lacking. This is what BrooklyKnight looks like in person:





I can't help but think of this when I see BrooklyKnight:

Nice cummerbund!

My first reaction was yuck, in fact that is still my reaction. We are just about to go bowling, to honor our veterans, so I called over Jr and Captain. They both said "Wow, AWESOME!" so if the mark is 8-10 year old boys mission accomplished I guess.

actually, the "basketball net as chainmail" shoulder armor is starting to grow on me

also, nice quads!

That's the dumbest mascot ever.

Even worse than the gorilla Phoenix trots out there.

OKC should fire Brooks and hire Phil. Phil would accept, if for no other reason than to stick it to LAL. Brooks is okay, but OKC isn't winning any titles with him - especially with the Lakers upgrade at coach.

I don't see Jax living in OKC

I would agree under normal circumstances, but it sounds like the Lakers jerked him around and ultimately flat out lied to him and his agent. Phil doesn't seem like the type to take that lying down and given the opportunity to coach a strong roster and Durant, I think he strongly considers it.
