Sac/Mem/GSW and Was/GSW/LAClips Are the back-to back-to backs... easy money. Counted 7 NBA TV games. We will start 3-0
Very nice for us. 7 of 10 to get comfortable at home when we're still feeling out the new look team. Only 1 game against Orl, Mia, Boston, Chicago. Two long road trips will be tough, but overall, I like this.

I like it! I think its Hersey Hawkins. I wish that was me getting the tattoo! I give it a few hours before MM is talking shit about the fake plays Nate has drawn up on the board.
You are probably correct. It still would be nice for them (players/owners) to at least own up to how this came off to most fans (and employees of the teams and workers at the arenas).
Looking at it from a season ticket holder perspective, we had two preseason games cancelled along with 8 home games. Boston and the Lakers always sell for a premium. The Knicks should have sold well as should Chicago. Will never miss a preseason game and the other three Eastern teams would have been dogs to get rid of. Will see how much of an effect the lockout has on demand, but season ticket holders did not fare well.
