Re: GO LEAFS GO
 

Wings games used to be on PPV once in a while, many many years ago. but no not anymore.
Normally they play most the season games on UPN, (nomal TV, not even a cable channel)
this season i think every game was on TSN sports channel. basic cable.

Yanno. i got to thinkin. i had TOTALLY forgot that the TB lighting are detroit owned. lol. The guy who owns the Detroit Pistons owns the TB Lightning.

he possibly may have 2 championship teams on his hands. and to think, he only bought the TB lightning so he could use thier stadium. never planed on them actually winning and making money. lol

That Tampa thing must be a huuuuge bonus for that guy...the pistons won the title? wow....i didnt even know Basketball playoffs started yet...Vancouver doesnt really get much big coverage of the NBA since the Grizzlies left, and i dont know why they did...they sold out the majority of the games once it was announced the team was sold..

...And to get this straight so im not misunderstood or anything, only a handfull of games are on PPV, and its only $10. So if you get 10 bussies over to watch the game...its only a buck each....or 1000 guys and you only gotta fork over a penny...

Re: GO LEAFS GO
 

No, Pistons didn't win the title and I doubt they will. NBA hoops are only in the second round. The Spurs or Kings will beat any team out of the East IMO.

Re: GO LEAFS GO
 

actually pistons have quite a good shot at it.

what i was saying is he COULD have 2 championship teams on his hands. they both have a decen chance.

Re: GO LEAFS GO
 

Pistons will definitely not win this year.

Re: GO LEAFS GO
 

wouldnt say def not, they have more of a chance then you think.

however basketball sadly is not like hockey. its almost predictable that the better team wins is basketball. i like the fact in hockey anyone can win.

This is a little off topic...but i just heard this morning that Don Cherry is the highest paid Canadian Government employee....thats wrong somehow...he said somebody tried to get him to run for parlaiment, he said he would, but he didnt want to take a pay cut...this is a true story i tell you my amigo's.

Re: GO LEAFS GO
 

Nothing is like basketball. It's been the same teams since the 1980s and nobody wins only one championship. Since the 76ers in 83 it's only been Boston, LA, Houston, Detroit, Chicago and San Antonio. Six different champions since 1984.
Compare that with 13 in baseball
10 in hockey
11 in football.

The best team nearly always wins in basketball and always wins multiple titles.

Re: GO LEAFS GO
 

Maybe basketball is fixed for the most popular team to win??

Has it occured to anyone else we are talking about random sports in a thread about the Leafs?

Re: GO LEAFS GO
 

Wanna know why?
There's no longer anywhere for the Leafs to go... except for going HOME!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Re: GO LEAFS GO
 

Are you sure Cherry is the highest paid Government Employee? I just though he was the highest paid person on CBC... how much does he make? 600 grand a year maybe?

How much does Martin make?

RE: Re: GO LEAFS GO
 

I am as sure as I can be.Only just? That is interesting:
said he was the highest paid person on CBC.
You'll have to ask him yourself. Would you like to make an appointment?Can we get back to business?
Normally I would search the web right now, but that seems like a silly question.
