re: Perhaps the SKC has some dark demons. We do better on the road.

Also I think the owner of the Clippers is paying for a new arena himself.
Dude Steve Ballmer is worth $125 billion and Gayle Benson is worth $6.1. They’re not even close in wealth.

Ballmer also has other income aside from his team, the only income Gayle has is the teams.
A new arena paid for with a loan taken out by Gayle likely means she could never afford to pay the luxury tax.

Don’t fall for that. Gayle will NEVER BE POOR ! Gayle still multiple car dealerships throughout the Gulf South.
Take a drive down Veterans HWY. See that Mercedes dealership. You know who owns it? Then go down to to Cadillac dealership and the Best Chevrolet. She also has dealerships in Texas. She gets all concessions and parking revenue from the Shrine on Airline to the Dome and SKC.

The state will have to contribute significant funds for any new arena. Like the Superdome
I agree. If that is the case then it will be how much can we afford as Thornton stated. He seems to hint the SKC can’t do a big uplift or renovation.

I'm pretty sure people that look like me were hung on plenty of different stadiums land.

There isn’t much that can be done to SKC because it was lowballed from the moment ground broke. They took the cheapest route possible to save about $150m.

Wait. Are you saying she couldn’t pay for this?

Please tell me the play in game is at the Chase Center or Crypto Center.

Book a couple of Taylor Swift concerts and your new arena will be paid for.

Was it built on top of a graveyard like the Dome?
No, the Cemeterie des Heretiques was where Macy's is now.

What was it before the Arena was built? I saw an old picture where it looks like a helicopter airport ?

I'm not sure about the bad Ju-Ju but Pels, for sure play differently on the road, and it starts with a defensive mindset. Pels get home and seem to want to showcase and forget what type of team they really are.
Arguments can be made that any grand vision for this season were compromised at the trade deadline so, at this point, you have to lean into what you have, likely more Dyson at the 4-5. A lot of optimism on the road trip centered on Zion's defensive elevation, which along with Herb and Dyson's disruption triggered everything. Granted, none of those teams had a dynamic point-center combo (Pels kryptonite), but the defensive pressure led to forced turnovers, more transition basketball, and better spacing. That was very clear. Defense, for sure travels but Pels continue to forget to pack it on their return home flights.

Gayle better call her buddy Aymond and bless and exorcise that building today
Posted on 4/15/24 at 8:06 am to biglosdaddy
Yes where is Aymond ? He should perform something on that building today

Bump. What it did to us last night was cruel.
