2023-24 Running NBA thread

You never went to the Boston Garden?

 

I liked it when I went with my cousin from Arlington. I forget if we drove, but we went to a nearby restaurant and walked. Isn't it next to Chinatown?

 

I am looking forward to the complete breakdown of driving to the new location.

For all the time I've spent in Northern Virginia, I have never been in that area

 

Driving?
Sheeeeeeettttttt

 

It's actually quite remarkably hard to get a real answer to that question: from extensive googling the best I can figure out is the Pistons are playing at Little Caesars Arena as sublessees of the Red Wings, who are committed to stay there through 2053 under the terms of the DDA agreements which paid to build the arena.

So the answer to the question of how long are the Pistons committed to stay at LCA is, "however long the Ilitch family thinks they're making money off the deal."

On actual reported attendance, the Pistons rank 27th among the 30 NBA teams with 87.5 percent of capacity attendance. This figure is down from 91 percent last season.

These figures are all wildly inflated: according to the real life evidence of human eyes, they can't be averaging more than 8,000 butts in seats; the joint is 2/3 empty EVERY game. This figure is likely to continue nose diving with the historic losing streak.

The game against the Lakers on Nov. 29 was reported as a sellout at 20,600; it appeared to be maybe 75 percent full.

In addition, the Pistons take some of the revenues from suite rentals and concerts at LCA; if they leave, the Red Wings get 100 percent of that revenue.

 

How many games we wanna do for this suspension?

 

Don't care what it costs, Dubs need to cut his ass. Enough.

 

So out of character for Green. I’m surprised.

 

It’s the flailing right after he hit him like he was just clumsy which makes it funny.

 

It's in between Old Town Alexandria and Crystal City on Route 1. It's been a while since I lived up that way and didn't realize they added a blue/yellow line Metro stop at Potomac Yards, so that's at least a positive. In theory, it'll be a lot easier for me to get to a Caps game from Richmond, just park at the Springfield Metro and ride it up. But still, sad that we're losing the actual going into DC part of things.

 

He's going to claim it was unintentional. Nothing is unintentional when you turn around swinging like that. Should be 10 games, at least. Unacceptable.
