Worst Loss of the Season
- Thread starter KingCookie
- Start date
So if I understand correctly you're saying the performances were unacceptable. I still just have a basic conceptual problem with that term because what is the consequence of "unacceptable"?
I know - it's nit-picking but I have problems with making statements that cannot be backed up. It's like the old "If you do that again I'll ground you until you're 30" threat some parents used to make. You knew they wouldn't/couldn't ground you that long, so you discounted the seriousness of whatever you had done.
Unless you're going to give a consequence for not behaving in an acceptable manner, I don't think it's the right term to use.

Wow. I envy. Ever been to Staples? Sucks. Hated it. I'd probably rather watch a LA/Sac game at Arco for the smaller arena atmosphere. I miss the Forum.
Heh. That's great because I don't want to see any more of them for 6 months. Afaic, the most righteous thing they did this season was "tanking the right way" (take that, Larry Brown). Boy, the Pups are schmucks. They almost assuredly get the 14th seed by intentionally testing the upper limits of their mediocrity.

At least loud enough at times so you couldn't hear your own voice. Staples is a two-tiered airplane hangar with NO foot room. Those seats are hard on the knees and the jewels, and I'm only 6'0". The acoustics are so bad that the noise from the lower level and the upper level is distinctly separate. Hate it. Ugly. Corporate. Concrete. No intimacy. The saving grace for Staples is that you don't have to pass multiple Blood and Crip sets to get there like you had to in Inglewood.
Be thankful with what you got in Arco. If you get a mega arena, your feelings will be mixed. More creature comforts, less atmosphere. Bostonians could tell you that too. After all, why care about food courts and lux boxes when you're there to watch a frikkin game? Creature comforts are for trophy babes, not the fans they're attached to.

I've got an old game from 92 from the Forum. It's a weird Spurs broadcast without commercials, got it from some foreign trader. They were using something called the "Babeage Cam", scanning in on all the fine laydays. They'd show the babes during what were supposed to be commercials. One of the babes in the front row was a young Brooke Burke prior to the saline enhancements. Dayum! I'm not really a fan of hers, but she was 10x hotter back then. That's the level of unknown babe that was there on an average night after Magic retired. There still are a lot of babes to be seen, but usually they're on old Doc Letch's (I mean Buss') side.
