    I was visiting my grandmother at a rehab facility last night (rehabbing from a broken hip) and virtually every single patient room was blasting the Blazers game as I walked by. Losing a team effects a ton of people - but some of the ones that appreciate watching the games the most are people that never even have an opportunity to get to the actual arena. I do feel very badly for the people of Sacramento.

    More home games for the Lakers. Just what the league needs.

    The thought of Mike & Mike having to do a similar sign off destroys me. I wouldn't fully recover. I hate that Seattle and Sacramento have/had to go through this. Two awesome fan bases. And we have Charlotte and New Orleans drawing horrifically. Not to mention Miami, another franchise with horrible fans, lands the big three. What did those idiot bandwagon fans do to deserve such an awesome situation while other fan bases suffer an awful fate. What a travesty. I hate it.

    Weather and revenue. Miami and L.A. are some of the richest areas in the U.S. Then you add the stars that all mingle in L.A. and Miami. Sucks, but truth.

    It may be the truth, but it's still a travesty. Taking these franchises from established, awesome fan bases is just wrong. Especially when you look at Charlotte and New Orleans. Awful.

    I always get them mixed up. What's the difference between Jerry Reynolds and Bucky Buckwalter?

    The move is not a done deal yet.

    Seems Mayor Kevin Johnson put together a strong plan and made an impressive presentation to the NBA trying to keep them in Sacramento:

    We will see if KJ can drain the last second shot to pull off the come-from-behind win.

    If I was Sac, they have already had a heartbreaking season ending game........ said their goodbyes and have had 2 weeks to heal. To bring them back for 1 or even half a season is crazy! I would just want to cut the ties and move on.

    The Maloofs were bluffing? Or, it was 100% to us they were moving, but only 50% to them.
