re: Why the frick is it always New Orleans where the NBA media makes this a big deal?

If NBA games were played in the summer, and players had to live in the sauna that is summer in south Louisiana, then I would understand the media comments.

But the season is over the winter, and places such as Detroit, Toronto, Milwaukee, and Cleveland are simply miserable places to be in the winter.

I understand endorsement money is better in bigger markets, and I understand our past history as a poorly-run franchise, but that last item is history now and anyone with a brain knows it.
