NBA commissioner david stern is blaming us for the situation, the citizens & our representatives, not bennett's carpetbagging ownership group.

there's not a goddamn thing wrong with key arena.

What the dorky one-liner means is that the judge is a basketball fan through and through; that may have nothing to do with his ruling, but I'd like to think otherwise. Go Sonics.

It doesn't matter whether you like or hate the Sonics or basketball in general, Martinez simply read the team's lease with the City and interpreted it in a way that will make it more difficult for the team to BREACH the lease. Which I think is awesome. They should pay pay pay to the City for the Key Arena until their lease is up, in my view.

Have you been to any other professional sports venues outside Seattle?

For Basketball, Key Arena's OK (no pun intended)but over all...it sucks.
