Around SBN: Josh Hamilton's Unique Public Statement On His Addiction

WWE VS DENVER NUGGETS

As a basketball fan in houston, there isn't much coverage on this situation. What is the local media saying about this. Apparently neither the NBA or Vinny Mac are willing to back down. The Nuggs front office is taking a hit on ESPN for not having enough faith in their team to go long in the playoffs. They even had to sign a confirmation sheet on the last day of the season. This is not a troll post designed to get you all rilled up. I am just curious how the denver locals are taking it. (Vince even said he would set up and do the show in the parking lot if he had to). I think K-Mart and John Cena should have a steel cage match to decide.

My opinion is to honor the contract

It would be difficult to have both shows on the same day due to setup time in the WWE. Game 4 just might have to be played on Tuesday. I don’t see the NBA playing back to back games on saturday and sunday.

Pay off Vince ...

The WWE is just a stunt show and has no meaning at all. Or move the WWE to the Denver Colosseum.

Regardless of the creditability of the WWE

Don’t you feel that the nuggets have to honor the contract that they signed(twice)

I don't think you could have both events in the same day

There is a tremendouos amount of set up that goes into putting on a show like the WWE, I don’t see how you could have a show and a NBA game the same day. I think pay Vince McMahan and have him move the show to the colosseum or maybe move it to the Springs.

Yeah, you can't do it

They have that huge jumbotron thing they have to set up. It’s not like switching from hockey to basketball, where only some seats have to be moved..

I think you either honor the contract or buy it out.

I think the fault rests with the NBA and their schedule makers. Either that or it’s Houston’s fault for not beating the Lakers in game 7. Then we wouldn’t be having this problem.

hahaha...

Anyone catch David Stern before Game 1 saying, “It’s not an NBA and WWE problem. We’ve had the date saved since August.”

This is Kroenke’s problem and he’ll probably have to blow some good playoff revenue to make it go away.

I dont care

I dont care what the WWE does. I think the lawyers for kroenke messed up by not putting a clause in the contract with mcmahon. regardless the NBA will trump the fakeness of wrestling 10 time out of 10

somethings wrong, Trying to conquer these fears i thought were gone. And it's been so long, I'm dying to live in a world i don't belong

Nice pic.

I guess we can all agree on that one

by mutombo4life on May 20, 2009 2:18 PM MDT up reply actions  

No respect for the WWE?

They do have the longest running show in TV history, as well as the highest rated cable show. That should be worth something. But, i agree, this is the NBA’s fault. Let’s get this thing solved.

by mutombo4life on May 20, 2009 2:17 PM MDT reply actions  

With all due respect.

I don’t think Denver’s owner expected to be playing this far into the post season.

Nope ... no respect.

Give them the boot.

Just like you say … IT’S A TV SHOW! Boot Vince and ban him from the state.

Bring the WWE here in Portland!

The Rose Garden isn’t doing anything on Monday Night. We’ll help you out!

My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

There was an article in Variety this morning about it...

I’d post it, but then I’d be fueling the whole stupid thing.

For Mr. WWE to think the Nuggs would change their schedule for them is silly.

I wish Kronke would drop a little steroid question into this whole thing… that’d divert attention real quick.

It's not the Lakers I hate with every bone in my body, it's just the players and their fans.

STIFF LIST (as of 1/30 by Jeff Morton)

1. THE ORLANDO MAGIC
After starting the season so well with the Dwight Howard trade drama (10-3) - the Magic have fallen apart (2-5 since) with embarrassing losses to the Celtics (twice), Hornets, and Pacers. Trade Dwight already!

2. CHAUNCEY BILLUPS' FLOP VS. NUGGETS
In the waning seconds of Sunday's game against the Clippers, Chauncey pulled off an acting performance so good it deserved an Academy Award. If he was still a Nugget we would love it, but he's not. STIFF!

3. JIMMER FREDETTE
Dude, if you are going to take the game-winning shot, at least draw some iron: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNO1goJOruQ

4. GEORGE KARL'S 4TH QUARTER AGAINST THE CLIPPERS
Getting out coached by Vinny Del Negro should be a nice wake-up call. Going away from Gallo. Leaving Al Harrington in. Using Rudy Fernandez at point guard. And going ultra small contributed to the Nuggets loss.

5. JEFF MORTON
For saying that the Nuggets would skimp on payroll and go cheap like the Avalanche. Clearly I was wrong and deserve to be on this Stiff List. I can only hope that the gods of basketball forgive me.
