Tickets for tonight's giant-screen viewing in Montreal cost $10.

Team spokesman Donald Beauchamp says the 21,000-odd tickets sold out in two hours.

I gave up mid 90s but my friend is a huge fan so I have to pay a little attention otherwise I spend too much time just nodding.

I was pretty wrapped up in their last playoff run, when they beat the Bulls a couple of years ago.

I haven't watched a game since they got rid of Iguodala.

they give up a first rounder? i thought there is some conditional first from new orleans. I havent followed them since i moved to new york three years ago so im out of the loop a bit.

To NO:
Jrue Holiday

To Philly:
Nerlens Noel
2014 First rounder (Top 5 protected)

I believe New Orleans has a 5% chance of finishing with a top 5 pick this year. Sixers will likely get the 10th pick along with their top 5 selection (hopefully top 3).

The security and insurance will cost more than they're grossing.

Me too. He was a defensive monster in college before the injury. This year could shape up as the best rookie class in Sixers history.

Because Giroux was taken

Edit: He's married to Lauren Cheney. She's a really good soccer player. Jrue that is.

If it is in the top 5 of the draft they keep the pick and send next years pick instead.

Oh, yeah. And I don't suppose there was really any point in charging more. It will be insane, though. I sure hope they win. (Not only for lack of violence, but because...Lucic!)

This is a big deal because next year's draft isn't going to be as good and New Orleans is going to be better next season. I believe Anthony Davis takes another step forward and becomes a dominant player.

No. One of his daughters is a congresswoman who runs on an anti-gay marriage platform and the other daughter is gay.
