On the one hand one of my favorite things to do the past 3-4 years is to go to Staples on the game before Christmas, it's become a tradition. On the other hand, I don't really know if I want to financially support this team as long as Magic is in charge, on the other hand someone is going to buy that ticket anyway if I don't so it's sort of a pointless protest.

Well, buying a ticket adds to the supply/demand curve, but you should go anyway and tweet sarcastic things at magic, its way more effective.

Illegally stream the games instead of paying for league pass or cable if you want to protest.

NBA records and history for teams that moved are weird.

Some teams when they moved kept their history from the previous teams, other teams left or gave back their history when a team was created to replace the one they lost.

It's strange.

I honestly don't know who the NOLA Jazz history belongs to. They never did anything of note, so there are no banners to hang. We do have a retired Pistol jersey in the rafters, though.

TBA varies wildly show to show. The weekly Windhorst one is good if you just want relatively straightforward NBA discussion, the others might be only tangentially related so it's gonna depend on how much you like the people involved
