    No. Not at all. At least i don't think so. There was really no interest in the game at all. If you were an OKC fan in a seat with a 10 point lead in the second quarter i would think someone would show a little emotion and at least watch the game?
    I know what i spent to get the seat next to him. Maybe i'm cheap but i am at least watching the game i paid for? I gave my T-shirt away to a kid but this guy just threw his under his seat. It was weird.

    That was so calculated to take away from how all-in he was on the Thunder yesterday. Completely diffused the situation and altered focus elsewhere. Very well done by Colin.

    However.....

    Corporate sponsors get some tickets and sometimes give them away to important customers, often international clients. Many have zero interest. I have seen people like that at games and get pissed because real fans can't get a seat.

    Just my opinion and therefore it's not worth a ton but that type of behavior doesn't bother me all that much. I understand why it frustrates some people but it's never really frustrated me.

    Could this be Neil? With all the question about ownership?

    "They are communicating with him and he is OKing all these moves," Cowherd said of Johnson's mystery replacement. "He is not currently in the Laker building. He's currently running another team that's in the playoffs. It could be a handful of people. It could be a Michael Winger with the Los Angeles Clippers, Bob Myers with Golden State, young smart guy in Toronto. There's a couple other guys out there."

    Man, I seriously doubt it. The Blazers have never granted him permission to talk to other teams so it would be tampering at this point if true.

    When you put it like that, that sounds exactly like the Lakers.

    True but they'd probably lose draft picks if it happened. Heck, I'll take their lottery pick for him. I'd be surprised if it happened though.

    Well you can guarantee a loss for game 3 after Stephen A Smith started to give Dame props on his radio show talking about that he deserves a spot as First-Team All-Pro. SAS is a worse jinx than JinxS.........you know what, let me shut up lol.

    Yes, but if after getting punished for it they did something like that then they'd have some major consequences.

    Me too I was mostly joking, a hint of truth in there though. :)

    Why would the Lakers admit they're working with someone if they didn't have permission to do so? I guess the answer could be that they're just that stupid. I think it's more likely that it's someone they do have permission to talk to. It's awfully presumptuous to think it's Neil when over half the league is in the playoffs (assuming that's the reason the person hasn't been hired).
