I just get the feeling that the NBA is done here.... for a long long time.
That Chris Hansen arena deal, then the rally, the excitement, the hope, was kind of the last gasp, ya know? Then we get our hopes crushed again by the NBA. We really went out on a limb emotionally. You can only get screwed over so many times before the damage is permanent, and there is no reconciliation.
We were done so wrong the way the Sonics were stolen, the NBA and Stern were so on-board with the theft. Then they actively wanted to protect Sac and Milwaukee? Went out of their way to protect Sac. Where was that protection for Seattle?
Man, its over. I loved the Sonics. But screw the NBA.
