I'm surprised that I haven't seen more articles written about the fact that this is the first time ever in the Sacramento/2 teams in Northern California era that both the Warriors and Kings were in the playoffs in the same year. Not just playing each other in the playoffs but actually just in...

The Golden years, 8 year run put to rest the talk of how the market isn't big enough. It really all starts with the draft. The Kings could've drafted Curry but took Tyreke Evans instead. They could've drafted Klay but took the Jimmer instead or at least traded for him on draft day. I could...

Very sad. Drafted in 2017. Similar to the Fab Melo passing. I think Fab was drafted as recently as 2013 or 2014

Haven't posted in awhile as I was a regular during the 2008-2013 era while the team was still trying to find a solution to getting a new arena. Once the arena was a done deal, I sort of disappeared but had to sign in just to pay my respects. While I butted heads on occasion with her, the pro's...

The difference is that if they view Ball as a character guy, they will have no problem signing him to a huge problem whereas they finally came to the realization about Cousins that a lot of have for some time. He's tough to deal with.

RIP. One of my earliest movie going experiences was seeing Young Frankenstein. I'm guessing it came out in '74 or '75 as I was only around 4. Ironically, Stir Crazy may have been the first R rated movie I saw as well. Despite my youth, bay area hippies had an easier time getting kids into the...

Getting it done in time for the regular season will be no problem but if they don't hurry, I could see Paul McCartney being pushed back as well as one of the pre season games. I don't think it will be a problem though. When the Warriors renovated Oracle Arena back in '97, they actually had more...

I'm good with the uniforms. Sort of predictable based on the new logos but that's actually a good thing. My criteria for uniforms is pretty simple... 1) Try to limit the color scheme to 3 colors or less. The Kings accomplished this and it makes for a sleeker and overall better look as opposed...

That looked crazy to me as well but I think she meant to say "design is COOL.....". I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt and say it's a typo or she was tapping her phone really fast and not checking what she wrote.

The Lakers played their pre season games at the Forum and then had their first game at Staples be their home opener. Although this worked for them because the Clippers and Kings already played games at the arena so it gave the staff time to get the kinks out. The Sacramento Kings don't have the...

Yeah but that's the case with most arenas. While they have all types of events, it's the presence and effort of those associated with the local NHL or NBA team that is the MAIN reason for it's existence. I emphasize MAIN because I'm a big supporter of indoor arenas because of all the various...

I'll clarify. I agreed that the Kings shouldn't play any pre season games at the new arena. Having their first ever game at the new arena as a regular season game would be great. As for what should be the first event overall, you don't want it to be a Kings game. In fact, of all the most recent...

I agree with this. The Magic and Nets played their pre season games at their new arenas and to me, that takes the luster off of opening night. Use the opening month of the arena to host other events and get all the kinks out. By the time they host 5 or 6 events, the arena staff will be able to...

Voisin's article sums up why I've always defended building entertainment centers. There is something for everyone. She talked about certain concerts that her nieces and nephews would want to see. Mentioned Bocelli for the older folks. You have monster truck shows for truckers and hard hat...

There are actually already a few arenas that look similar to what the Warriors are proposing. If you ever go to mapquest or google earth and look at some of these arenas, they are oval shaped and look similar to a toilet bowl. Denver is one that comes to mind right off the bat. The media is...

The 25 year anniversary logo did that. They had the capitol, the bridge and a couple downtown buildings. http://content.sportslogos.net/logos/6/240/full/3j3a18eo6kcsusvf1kue5afi6.gif

Every time I read the Piston boards when it pertains to Josh Smith, they seem to love the idea of getting rid of him for peanuts. I would think they would be all over any combination of JT, Jet, Dwill and Landry. I'm surprised this trade isn't gaining more traction.

I'll be there if it's a weekend game but being that it's a new arena opening, there's a good chance that they'll have it on opening night which will most likely make it a Tuesday night.

True to a certain extent but keep in mind that a lot of those individuals have their own agenda and it's usually an anti NBA agenda. The Donaghy worshippers are the ones who love talking game 6 because it boosts their agenda for obvious reasons. You also have people who love the sport and the...

Agreed. If there is one thing you can say about the Lakers, it was that they were clutch. Outside of Bibby, the Kings choked a lot in that series. I can go back to game 3. They were up 20 before letting the Lakers get it down to like 3 or 4 before holding them off. They were up again by 20 in...
