The meeting is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. Pacific in Dallas. Fippin is on the ground there with more of your favorite local fans including Blake from Here We Stay and Mike from Crown Downtown. David Stern will hold a press conference after the meeting. I would anticipate that happens at roughly 2 p.m. Pacific or so. Just a guess.

Ground rules.

1. There's no particular reason to be nasty to Seattle fans today or any day.

2. No GIFs or images in this thread, which could get packed.

3. No matter what, you're awesome. Unless you break ground rule No. 1 or ground rule No. 2.

Let us hope the next RED BANNER OF PALPITATION we see is good news.

SAC-RA-MEN-TO!
