    Nope. They're no longer "America's Team". As of a few years ago, their broadcast contract went purely local. Meanwhile, TBS/TNT have gone more national.

    Didn't Turner sell the team?

    Not only am I not upset about part of the season being lost, I actually am excited about starting to get my money back each month.

    Makes me wonder if I should even buy season tickets . . . bet other season ticket holders are going through the same process.

    I've been saying all summer that both sides just presume the fans will stay on board when they are finally done arguing on who gets more money. Unfortunately they are probably right, but I would love to see a baseball fan reaction and have fans stay away from game for a long peroid of time.

    How much more intriguing is Sullinger as a PF/C prospect now? I've been on his bandwagon for over a year now.

    Speaking of, Oden is living it up in L.A. -- Night clubs on the reg, movie premiers on the reg.

    He sure has let himself go in the process:

    Crunch time and Zalgiris prefers going with the ancient and no defense playmaking of DC Collins over Ty Lawson. Very telling.


    A lot of these NBA players are getting exposed overseas.

    The overseas game is light years more entertaining to watch than the NBA is

    I totally disagree. But I do understand how one could fall in love with the team game played overseas. The ball movement is certainly better, especially on the perimeter. However, I prefer the more physical NBA game.

    I do wonder if having all these NBA players overseas will result in more foreign players being "discovered".
