They should install speakers and play hostile crowd noise for practices.

That bank of tv monitors is cool but it seems like it would be highly distracting for those cubicle dwellers. I don't think I'd be very productive.

GT said in an interview today that they could be getting a new scoreboard with the TC renovations.

The opening of a practice facility brought both the NBA and WNBA commissioners to town. How frickin cool is that!

Adam Silver is a great speaker.

Also pretty cool that they kept one of the theaters in the building. I wonder if they will use that to breakdown game film.

I thought a new scoreboard was already guaranteed to be apart of the renovation?
It better be, and they better do it right. Last thing we need is for them to screw the renovation up so that they need a new renovation 5 years down the road, and with the MASSIVE stadium fatigue here (so massive they aren't even allowing a 100% privately funded soccer stadium to be built) a new renovation a few years down will have a zero percent chance of happening, and then B O O M! 2-3 years after they relocate, they will be in the NBA finals. Seattle Supersonics all over again.

I like Silver, but I miss Stern's smug smile.

This is a quality piece about the current state of where we're at in the TC renovation:

There hasn't been any formal plan that has been agreed upon yet. They have only agreed that there will be a renovation.
