Seattle is a top NBA city (add Wade)

Don't believe that Seattle rules? According to NBA Beat writers J.A. Adande and Brian Windhorst we're one of the top stops in the only 29 cities that matter. If you average those two rankings Seattle's score of 4.5 ranks second only to Miami's 2. Beats the shit out of Memphis y'all.

In other news:

I don't care if they blow a 3-1 series lead, Dwyane Wade is the player of the Conference Finals round. No-nonsense yet spectacular. That's actually SPECTACULAR. He gets to the rack on Detroit like they were Toronto flailing at Kobe this past January. Except it's the Conference Finals. Ho fucking hum. I like the fact that the facial expression rarely changes despite Flash's heroics. Dude's got the emotional range of Al Gore on Xanax, but it isn't off-putting in a Sampras or Duncan sort of way. Go figure.

All that and he loves Jane Austen. Thanks FD for that. Speaking of, Freedarko is locked in a vicious internal struggle concerning Dwyane ("whose first name is really fun to sound out phonetically," the author added within parentheses).

PS I'm adding Truehoop.com to my links on the right. Prestigious I know. He finds the best NBA links hands down. It's twice daily reading for me at this point. And random archive searches reveal nuggets like this.
