NBA Playoff cities-----question for fans.

[CP1708]

Damn guys, can't a brother ask a question around here?

Look, I'm NOT asking about predictions, or finals, or who's the best. Everyone relax.


I'm asking about the way the individual cities handle the playoffs and whether they do anything special or is it just business as usual. That's all.


I'm not trying to trick anyone, I'm not asking for social security numbers, I'm simply asking how the cities handle their marketing and such forthe teams.

CP, it was bananashere in New Orleans as well last year, especially since we had homecourt in the 1st and 2nd rounds. People are still excited about this year but not asmuch.

The stupid music video they play like 67 times a game up here is OD. But I'm sure it's like that everywhere. Over saturate the market andget EVERYONE to take notice, even the people who dont like sports.

Chester, are you guilty of something? Called what? I haven't said any damn thing, I'm asking about ALL of the cities and what the athmosphere isthere. How they handle it, what they do etc etc. I haven't said one negative thing.
I don't beat around the bush on anything, if I wanna jump up and down and yell and scream about something, I will. I've done it numerous times and youknow it. So relax man, it's just a question.

that was a special situation though

i remember beingclose to skipping a test just to go to oracle for the clinching away game vs portland...thinking "oh if i get all a's on everything else id still geta b in the class."

it'd be interesting to know what the atmosphere is like in other cities...i dont even know what ncaa bball hype is like since i never felt it during thegood stanford years.

Seriously, I do not understand you guys. Maybe I shoulda sent this question to someone else to be the OP or somethin.

For the love of God, THERE IS NO ANGLE. It is a question. That's it. Answer it or not. This ain't friggin Watergate, I'm not the second gunmanon the grassy knoll, and I've never met Kaizer Sosa.

Jesus Christ.

I expect to see more flags on cars, and Cavaliers jerseys though.

yeah, your city is used to losing so they don't get their hopes up.

Portland is pretty crazy about the Blazers but I don't think that its a bad thing. It's not like we have anything else to root for in town...lumberjacks?
