No clue. Maybe cause most before that we in the East. I'm happy for New Orleans and I'm sure CP3'll make the team, unless he drops off.

Wow, the team owner and NBA are commiting fiscal suicide by returning to New Orleans. Oh well, not my money to pour down the drain.

Not a bad idea. I hear the arena should be ready for full time use at the beginning of 2007 so I guess this is their way of showing they care.

VC's said positive things about the city of Toronto. Said it's the best kept secret.

Its_asdf, lol funny sig.

I really want Toronto to host 2008 all-star game, because we only have 1 NBA franchise here, and it would be good to have just one weekend like this. Also, the place would be SOOOOOOO packed.

Interesting choice, though it's obviously an incentive to keep the Hornets in New Orleans once they're ready to return full time.

If you don't know, then don't speak.

It's a huge project, basically they're using the space around the ACC, SkyDome and CN Tower to build condos, retail, a hotel, offices and 'the most technologically sophisticated sports bar and restaurant ever to be built in Canada'. I haven't decided whether I like it or not yet. It would be a good place to host the All-Star game, though.

If the leafs or the raptors played there, I would wish to live right on top of that, and then just take the elevator downstairs and watch teh game.

EDIT: Sry it didnt work when I typed. Ok so, like I was going to say: If the Raptors player there, I wish to live up there, just take the elevator downstaires and then watch teh game.
