Yeah. Capacity is 19,100 for basketball which would put it right in the middle of the pack as far as NBA arena capacity goes.

Also, in looking that up on wikipedia, I noticed that Staples center sits 63 more people (19,060) for Clippers games than Lakers games (18,997). That's kind of weird.

I'm ok with this. I prefer a system that leans towards making sure the best teams, over the regular season, have an advantage in the playoffs over the luckbox that is the mlb/nfl/ncaa playoffs (I know nothing about Hockey and Soccer). Too each it's own though.

Which is why the NBA is the lowest on my list of sports I regularly watch. Unless you want hop on one of those 5 teams bandwagons then I don't see the point of watching an 82 game season since we all know from a handful of teams who's going to win.

I enjoy knowing that any team has a realistic shot of winning if they have a solid team, which is something that usually doesn't happen in the NBA. I like my team to win all the team ideally, but in the end what's the fun if it's basically guaranteed(kind of just like playing on Rookie on madden, it's fun but what's the point)

Not really, more celebs go to Lakers games, so therefore they need more VIP seating space. So I believe they take a whole row out as a buffer between the celebs and the regular folk.

Which is kinda interesting when you think about baseball having twice as many regular season games as NBA/NHL but they still do 7 game series. I demand a 14 game World Series!

Today sucks...bad.

Went riding fourwheelers at Wayne National Forest today with a buddy. Parked at the trailhead, locked the truck up and went for a couple hour ride.

Came back to the truck for a drink of water and.....My truck window was broken out, my phone, wallet with 100 bucks in it, and a bunch of tools were stolen. Also had a gas can chained to the trailer, they cut the chain and stole it too.

Now hopefully my parents can get everything worked out with the insurance company, otherwise I'm screwed and this is coming out of my pocket.

I'd love to find the people who did this and have a few "words" with them. People disgust me nowadays.

I've done this on games before just for the crazy stats lol, then do it again with a different team and compare the craziness. Like my old notebook of Tecmo Bowl season recaps where Jerry Ball had a 72 sack season and Barry Sanders rushed for over 3,500 yards, good enough for 4th all time behind Bo Jackson, Christian Okoye, and QB Eagles.

On NFL Football 94 I had something like 50 sacks with Seth Joyner and a ton of return TD's with Vai Sikahema.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I once threw for 75 touchdowns with Jack English in Madden 10 (or whatever version he was in).

Re: Off Topic 2013

I remember running for like 4000 yards in a season with Jerome Bettis in 2k5.

Threw for 150 TD's in a season in Superstar mode in Madden 06 for PS2.

And then there's the 850 yard games with Bo Jackson in Tecmo, but who hasn't done that? I actually feel like 850 yards is underachieving.

Re: Off Topic 2013

We should all try to one-up each other with our sports games accomplishments, I once hit 9,000 HRs with Don Kelly in The Show!

Depends if you intentionally run kicks out of bounds at the 1 so you can rack up 99 yard TD runs. We'd have to govern this somehow, I'm not sure how sim Tecmo was being with this

I once won a game with the Marlins in The Show.

**MarvinOida** · 06-05-2013, 12:23 AM

Ehh... Went 16,000 Passing/5,000 rushing with 100 TDs passing and like 35 Rushing in one season in Madden 07/08 with some guy named Russell... Memories...

Oh and I scored like 500 points with Brian Scalabrine in 2K11... Felt like he was robbed of a couple more...

Damn dude, that sucks. Something like that happened to my brother once while he was working. Someone came along, busted open his window, and stole his iPod.

People are sickening these days.
