Oh i understand and that's part of the reason why it isn't bothering me as much as it is NIP, but, they would no longer be the kings. I've been loyal to them for over a decade, and now they will become another team that already existed and i didn't like very much.

Your team overachieves in the regular season. Not worried about them. We'll beat the Bulls in 5 games.

The Knicks record is an aberration based on hot 3 point shooting that is now showing in their 5-5 record for the past 10 games.

I can't wait for JR Smith to go into a slump and have no where other than Melo to get any points.

I was in the same quandary when rooting for the Kansas City Monarchs. BACK TO KC WITH YOU!

It was the Kings, I guess. Not sure why I thought they were a Negro League baseball team. Alas, I shall keep my error for shaming.

I hate when teams move. Seattle should have a team, but not at the expense of Sacramento.

MetSox17 · 01-09-2013, 04:28 PM

I really hope Royce White takes his assignment with the Vipers, because i will gather a team of friends and buy courtside seats just to heckle his ass non stop.

thefalconer · 01-09-2013, 05:21 PM

make the kings public! nip and metsox can get the grassroots movement going to become the packers of the nba.

I know. Sacramento deserves a team. Why couldn't the Raptors just move to Seattle?

fenikz · 01-09-2013, 05:38 PM

...really?

Toronto averages 5k more people a game than Sacramento and is a much bigger media market if they ever had a semi decent team that place sells out every game.

MetSox17 · 01-09-2013, 05:54 PM

Have a decent team anywhere and it'll sell out every time. Arco had the longest sell-out streak in the NBA for like five or so years not too long ago.

Wootylicous · 01-09-2013, 05:57 PM

Toronto >>>> Sacramento

The market is not comparable.

Old team that's missing it's starting PG is the main reason why we've been 500 lately.

But don't worry, we're still gonna stomp out your face in the playoffs.

MetSox17 · 01-09-2013, 06:08 PM

I don't think anyone is comparing the TV markets, all i'm saying is with a **** team, you aren't gonna sell out regardless of how good the market is. Just look at Toronto.

Raymond Felton is absolute garbage. Not sure why you feel otherwise.

Wootylicous · 01-09-2013, 06:11 PM

Even with a ****** team they are 11th. Also the Air Canada Centre has 19800 seats. I consider 18413 pretty good for a ****** team.

He's not garbage. He's a solid middle of the pack PG. And he's been playing more of a SG role for us this year than PG bc of the 2 PG looks we've been doing with him and Kidd.

Toronto has tons of fans, even despite being mediocre. Check out Realgm, the Raptors probably have the most fans of any team.

Yeah, shooting 39% as a shooting guard (or whatever position you want to claim he is) is absolutely horrendous. He is a terrible player and you don't seem to realize he's sucked for a long time outside of his short hot streak that had you enamored with him.

Rob S · 01-09-2013, 06:29 PM

Felton is not terrible at all actually.

MetSox17 · 01-09-2013, 06:29 PM

So i've been heckling Royce White on twitter for the past few days and he finally retweeted me. I feel accomplished.

That percentage will go up again. He had a terrible streak at a time when Melo was hurt bc we needed somebody to be a volume shooter in his absence, and then he went and broke his hand.

I'm not worried about Felton. I think we got him for a steal. The production he gives us far exceeds the resources we had to invest into him.

Wootylicous · 01-09-2013, 06:32 PM

Royce White ‏@Highway_30
“@fcan17: @Highway_30 please take your assignment with the #Vipers so i can go heckle your ass in person. #weakass” #BeWell friend...

haha MS good job

This I don't agree with as much. He has always been **** efficiency wise. He won't get much over 40%, especially considering all the 3's he will be taking (and properly so). If Stat and Shump can log some minutes though, he will take less shots which will make his lack of efficiency less of a liability.

bigbluedefense · 01-09-2013, 06:35 PM

I just think he does well in the role we put him in. I'm very pleased with Felton.

Perimeter defense is a liability right now but with 2 big lineup that Woodson is using more of with Chandler and Camby, coupled with Shump's eventual return I think we'll be ok there.
