So true, after a while how many more millions could make a difference? :usuck: Lot of times I've heard the saying it's not how much you make but how much you keep, wait until he starts paying NY income taxes versus Colorado's, it's twice as high, :beaten: won't even get to the cost of living in NYC compared to Denver, must be out of this world, but hey, what's a few more million to live on Park Ave. :twisted:
Celts rebounded with a nice win over the Pacers yesterday. It's good to see Rondo get a lot of rest. Arroyo hasn't played bad, but his shooting has been struggling.

Also, the West Region has games playing in Washington D.C. :beaten:
The name of the region refers to where that particular region's last four teams will play. The Southeast Region will move to New Orleans once this weekend's round of games end.
Anyone fill out a bracket this year? I'm doing a bracket pool with friends this year. I don't follow College Basketball much, so I was just going by recognizable schools like Duke, Ohio State, Kansas and picking a few #12 seeds to advance since there always an upset or two , but that didn't go well :puppydog:

I haven't played a bracket in ages... I'd rather just sit back and enjoy the unpredictability that is March Madness. :)

That's what I like about the first two rounds, upsets and buzzer beaters galore. I'm also glad the games are online so I've been able to watch the close games.
Clippers hold off the Cav's, 100-92 for their second win in a row, while getting Gordon back, Griffin goes for 30pts, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists, Gordon had 29pts.
If the Clippers can resign Mo Williams and stay healthy I think they can be a playoff team next year. Other than their terrible start and when they've been healthy, they've shown some signs this year that they can be a good team. For example, they've won 6 of their last 9 and earlier this year they had a streak where they won 12 of 17.

Considering everyone thinks Donald Sterling is the worst owner in the NBA, if not in NBA history as well, he'll screw things up.
Looks like a good chance that there's gonna be 3 teams in the So Cal area, then again the Clips and Kings together may equal only one team. :naughty:
The Sacramento Kings have taken yet another step toward a potential move to Southern California.
With the Kings exploring relocation to Anaheim, a Sacramento attorney representing the teamfs owners filed for at least four federal trademark registrations this month.
Among the names filed for according to the United States Patent and Trademark Officefs website were: Anaheim Royals, Anaheim Royals of Southern California, Orange County Royals and Los Angeles Royals.
The name change would be a throwback to the franchisefs earlier days.
The well-traveled franchise was known as the Rochester Royals during the NBAfs first season in 1949, winning the 1951 title before moving to Cincinnati in 1957. When the Cincinnati Royals moved again to Kansas City in 1972, they agreed to change their nickname to avoid conflict with baseballfs Kansas City Royals, who joined the AL in 1969.
The Kings kept their nickname when they moved to Sacramento in 1985, but another name change is highly likely if the club relocates 35 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, where the NHLfs Los Angeles Kings have played since 1967.
Coincidentally, the Kings have played several home games this season in the throwback uniforms of those 1951 NBA champion Rochester Royals.
The NBA has already granted the Kings an extension until April 18 to file an application for relocation next season. Teams usually have until March 1 to apply for a move for the following season.

I propose the new team name be the Sacramento Kings of Anaheim by Los Angeles :beaten:
It sucks that the Kings are leaving Sacramento. I hate that owners threaten to take a team elsewhere if they can't get funding for a new arena. City officials did offer to help with renovating Arco Arena, but the Maloofs want a new arena with more suites so the money can roll in. As if people will pay to see a crummy team like the Kings. The fans in Sacramento have proven they can and will support the Kings, but the Maloofs need to do a better job of running the team. Moving to new arena will not solve the performance on the court.

GSW's got a new owner during the season, too bad Clips can't get Sterling to sell the team, then maybe things would turn around for the better for them.
They're now losing to Phx in the 3rd quarter, it looks like another potential loss for the Clips.
^^ True about the arena funding, such a scam when billionaire owners can't afford to spend their own money on arenas/stadiums, want the public to pay for them and collect the profits, meanwhile the tickets are jacked up so much it's hard for the general public to afford to attend the games. :twisted:
Seems like that franchise is unwanted or there's some jinx with them, first in Rochester, then Cincy, then KC/Omaha, to Sacramento and now to Anaheim, how many cities are left? :nut:
^^ Could have one coming up, soon as the owner of the Bills dies, Ralph Wilson, who has owned the team since day one, :applaud: NFL wants to move the team out of Buffalo to there, least that's what most of the media have been reporting up here. :shamefulcry:

The sticking point has always been a new stadium. The NFL wants a new stadium here and want the taxpayers to foot the bill. To the credit of the L.A. city council, they have always said, "You billionaires want a new stadium? Then YOU'RE going to pay for it, NOT the taxpayers!!"
For some reason they don't like spending their own money. But I guess that's how they got to be billionaires.
Replying needs an account. Registration opens soon.
