Re: 2012-2013 NBA Season

It reminds me of going to a Broadway show and having an understudy in the lead roles.

Re: 2012-2013 NBA Season

I was in high school and spent my allowance money on a Royals ticket to see them play the then-mighty Lakers of Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, and Jerry West.

None of the three played. A guard by the named of Dick Garrett lit them up like a Christmas tree and had like 20 points by the half. So when you buy a ticket, you never know who you're going to see.

I think its crap that Stern fined Popovich and I hope Pop appeals it (to who, I have no idea). When the commisioner can tell a team who they have to play, well, then the terrorists have won.

That's the old New Orleans ABA team, the Hornets actually were the WFL teams name when I lived in Charlotte, that name goes deeper than just the NBA

I'm pro Lakers going back to Minnesota myself

The New Orleans ABA team was the Buccaneers. WFL. Shoot, that's going way back to the days of Jim Kiick.

L.A Lakers makes no sense, either.

Actually, the expansion NBA Hornets were originally to be named the "Spirit".

Re: 2012-2013 NBA Season



I was thinking the Hornets could just use the Buccaneers name as I really like those throwback uni's, but then I realized it would often be shortened to Bucs which would get confusing with the Milwaukee Bucks around.

Re: 2012-2013 NBA Season

Pelicans was the name of their minor league baseball teams for decades.

Lakers are Minnesota's loss

And duh so right on the original ABA NO team, there's a current semi pro league that has that moniker

Louisiana is the Pelican State. So it makes sense.

Re: 2012-2013 NBA Season

Myself, I'd rather see them buy out Utah for the Jazz naming rights. Makes even less sense for Utah to be called the Jazz when you consider the Mormon following. (Think back to Baseketball for this reference)

The losing streak got up to 18 before they finally eclipsed last season.
