I know from another post a lot of people here are not NBA fans, but surely we have a few? Big time Lakers fan, and even was lucky enough to come down to NO for the 3 playoff games you guys hosted (love your state btw, even wearing Laker gear people were extremely friendly and the atmosphere is just incredible). So, I have to ask, can we have CP3 please?
I hope that this deal goes through. I enjoy watching NBA games on Christmas Day. Other than that, I don't watch basketball unless it's the playoffs. That goes for NBA and NCAA basketball. LSU basketball is excluded, of course. I do follow the Tigers, no matter what.

I like basketball, it was my sport in HS. That said, I really was hoping they would lose this season...damn spoiled punks.
I love both NCAA and NBA, but ... I'm not an LSU fan for basketball (please don't kill me). I was brought up watching Carolina Blue kick Duke ass. Hoping they make the Final Four so I can see them win it all this year.
I love basketball but hate what that league has become. I'll watch college bball but I hate watching a bunch of overpaid thugs. I was hoping they cancel this year and more. Now I'd love to see half filled arenas.
+1 I gave up my season tickets a few years ago. I wanted to support New Orleans & the Hornets but didn't care for the hip/hop/rap blasting in my ears, the punks who buy cheap seats but decide to upgrade and act like thugs, the underage kids running around without parental guidance spewing vulgar worse than a sailor, etc. There are the "haves" and the "have nots" in the league and that will never change. I don't care to waste my money supporting the Lakers, Celtics, Heat, and Mavericks. Without a true salary cap and fair revenue sharing they'll never get me back. If Obama doesn't like corporate greed and the evil rich 1%ers, he should go after the NBA owners and players. Neither lost in this deal.. Either way the fans are the ones who shell out the additional bucks. No thanks! They lost me and I don't want this crap on my tv.
Purple, I went to 3 games in NOLA last year and did not see any of the things you are mentioning. I will say I had decent tickets for each (my worst ticket was right under the TNT camera for Game 4). I'm a Laker fan, but if I lived in an NBA city I would have season tickets, the experience is a lot of fun.
I had LSU football, LSU baseball, Saints, and Hornets season tickets. I gave up on the NBA and don't miss it at all. I haven't watched a single game the past two seasons. I also gave up on MLB and can't recall the last time I watched a game. The only professional sports I now watch are Saints games. I don't even watch the Super Bowl...except for SB44. So many professional athletes are spoiled brats and are paid too well in my opinion. The fans are screwed more and more each year. You can have my seats. I'm done!
