I am taking my comment from the bottom of the last thread and putting it up here as I kind of went on a rant, and we need a new thread anyways. :)
Some folks have expressed fear at having both the NHL (as in relocating the Phoenix Coyotes here) and the NBA enter the Seattle market next year. Something about it makes them nervous. I was found here making a simliar argument a week or two ago.

When posts start to get in that 250+ range, we like to start a new post just to keep things running smoothly and for readability. Thanks for putting up with that.

If you haven’t already done so, share the site with some friends. Folks you know who bled green and gold but haven’t been ’round these parts just yet. Share a link on Facebook, pass the word at the bar, cover some lame graffiti with it in your favorite bathroom stall.
You are what makes the site go, what makes it so that we want to create content and share our passion for the return of the Sonics to Seattle!

Sooooooooo, lets help an old man (still me) out and look to crowd source March Madness, and the conference tourniment.
We should look at top ten and bottom 20 people in the draft.
The Nuggets can really get up and down the floor.
The Bulls are great team and on the ball defenders.
If Rose was on the floor I think the Bulls would be able to keep up with them on offense. Regardless, by the end I expect the Bulls to lock the Nuggets down. This will be close all game.
