Trivia time: What do the Hornets and Blazers have in common?

Michael Jordan currently owns the Hornets, but he also owned the Blazers during the 1992 Finals.

I'll say "slightly irritated" because a) I'm with most that think something different needs to happen, even if it's clearing out flotsam to get below tax with nothing in return.

Only "slightly" though, because I'm scared at the value. If he was able to put, say, Moe or Noah or Shabazz into a deal similar to last year's Nurk deal? Fantastic. Since I don't see one of those coming, I'm afraid that we're going to do something dumb. So that tempers my "do something" urge.

Poll question should be.

Who has a worse shooting form?
MKG or Lonzo Ball.

TBH I can't pick one who is worse. Both look like they haven't changed their form since the 2nd grade.

Speaking of trivia, I didn't read the Pistons game thread so forgive me if this has been discussed.

What the seriously F was the deal with the trivia question they had during the Blazers broadcast? "When was the last time both the Lakers and Celtics weren't in the playoffs?" Who gives a flying fuck? That question had nothing to do with the team or players we were playing. It had nothing to do with the Blazers.

Channeling the spirit of a recently banned member: Whoever picked that for the trivia question should be taken out and maimed. Then fired. Then maimed again. Then set on fire. I don't want to see any fucking Lakers trivia during my Blazers games. Thank you and fuck off.

God dammit I'm serious as a heart attack. Who the fuck runs Lakers trivia during a fucking Blazers broadcast? Who? I want names god dammit. I don't get this steamed very often but that just takes the fucking cake.

I’m posting this without looking at the spoiler, my guess was gonna be they both suck but that’s a little rough so I’m gonna say they are both mediocre.

Right? I mean, if the Twitter guy got fired then whoever had anything to do with Laker trivia should suffer a much worse ending to their career.

This actually showed me that the Vonleh TPE will now shore up our bench behind the Crabbe TPE. Well spotted.

How are we going to tell them apart? This is going to get confusing.

Im seriously considering starting a "fire Neil Olshey" chant to night at the game.

That would be dumb. You guys are acting like he was offered LeBron and Paul George for Meyers and Turner but turned it down. He's been amazing keeping us relevant when everyone here thought we'd win less than 30 games when Aldridge bolted. Davis and Aminu were good signings. Getting Plumlee and PC and then getting Nurk and Collins. Opportunity is there for Biggie with Vonleh (who had his chance) gone.

Outside of some bargain bin projects (Ennis, Malachi) I don't really see who Olshey missed out on. I'm ok with what transpired (or didn't)
