Slight Off Topic: NBA Playoff Predictions Based On City Stripclub Merits
minnow
Any place that interests me.
CAVALIERS VS PISTONS: Cleveland does have some good clubs, but not quite as good as some Detroit clubs like Flight Club, nor the bordering depth of nearby Windsor clubs for Detroit: DETROIT PISTONS IN 6
CELTICS VS BULLS: Neither city is strong in stripclubs. However, Boston gets some long distance help from Providence clubs, which means that Boston should sink some key "treys". BOSTON CELTICS IN 5
ORLANDO VS PHILADELPHIA: Orlando has some of the lamest contact clubs nationwide, which implies Philly edge in rebounding and steals. Some long distance help from Tampa implies 3 point shot edge, but some solid Philly/Jersey clubs in Top 100 is just too much depth for some fancy 3 point shots// PHILADELPHIA 76ERS IN 6
ATLANTA VS MIAMI: Both cities have a lot of nude/alcohol clubs, but Miami has much higher mileage/contact levels, plus more bordering help from other S. Fla clubs// MIAMI HEAT IN 5.

LAKERS VS JAZZ: Hmm, lemme see- a bucketload of clubs, plus COI stalwarts vs a few no contact clubs ??? Can anyone say "sweep"?// L.A. LAKERS IN 4.
NUGGETS VS HORNETS: Neither city is really tops, but Denver has 1 club (Cheerleaders, Centerfolds, something like that in upper echelon T100 list// DENVER NUGGETS IN 6
SPURS VS MAVERICKS: The battle of 2 TX cities with good clubs and attractive babes. Thing is, Dallas area has more of 'em, and they're higher rated.// DALLAS MAVERICKS IN 6
TRAILBLAZERS VS ROCKETS: Both Portland & Houston have a lot of clubs, but Houston has more sizeable clubs (Portland clubs mostly small taverns that happen to have a few nude dancers). Some LE trouble with Houston clubs portends Rockets getting into foul trouble, but the strength & depth of Houston clubs (T100 list) should carry the day// HOUSTON ROCKETS IN 6
syg- Well, not perfect, but all in fun.
T_B- If lap dancing becomes an Olympic Event, I'm sure you'll be Chief Judge.
O-o-o-o-o-kay, ROUND TWO, Tongue in cheek predictions.
CAVALIERS VS HAWKS: Cleveland has 1 club in Top 40, so does Atlanta. Atlanta has more clubs, but Cleveland has the edge in contact. Look for Cleveland to have the edge in rebounding & steals, Atlanta to make some nice shots. In this close series, contact will carry the day.// CLEVELAND CAVALIERS IN 7.
CELTICS VS MAGIC : Both Orlando & Boston are weak contact stripclub cities. Both have very strong "sister cities" (Tampa, Providence). However, Tampa is stronger with #3 rated Mons Venus, & # 31 rated S-YS.// ORLANDO MAGIC IN 7
LAKERS VS ROCKETS: Both cities/metro areas have strong clubs, with Houston Treasures(20) & St. James (59) being most stellar for them. No downtown LA clubs made T100, but got plenty of long distance help with COI stalwarts, and a some top OC clubs. This portends LA sinking several key "treys". This, coupled with Houston getting into foul trouble (some area club LE problems), gives the edge to....// LA LAKERS IN 6.
NUGGETS VS MAVERICKS: Denver has 3 clubs in T100, so does Dallas. The later are more highly rated (22,25,44) vs (24, 74, 76). Dallas city/metro area has more clubs than Denver city/metro, and higher contact levels to boot.// DALLAS MAVERICKS IN 6.
Moving on to "TIC"// ROUND THREE
CAVALIERS VS MAGIC: City vs City, clubwise, Cleveland wins hands down over Orlando. But, 1-2 hrs. driving time outside both cities is entirely different. Yes, Orlando gets some awesome long distance help from Tampa, and Cleveland gets, what??? However, some Tampa hoops fans are Miami Heat fans, which dilutes long distance help for the Magic. Still, the awesomeness of Tampa will push this to a 7-game series, but, in the end the merits of the primary city clubs, coupled with the dilution of long distance fan base results in// CLEVELAND CAVALIERS IN 7.
LAKERS VS NUGGETS: Both cities have clubs in the Tuscl Top 100. However, the sheer number of L.A. Metro area clubs coupled with higher contact levels imply L.A. edge in rebounding, inside game, and bench output.// L.A. LAKERS IN 6.
Go Cavs!
1) A reasonably close NON- NBA City.
2) "Reasonably close" I'd peg at 1-2 hrs driving time.
Detroit & Indy not considered long distance help. Besides being beyond the 2 hr driving range, both respective cities already have NBA team. I don't think a Pacer or Pistons fan would have a charitable disposition towards the Cavs.
Columbus arguably slides in under the 2 hr driving window, and rounds out Cleveland clubs somewhat, but they simply don't measure up to Tampa offerings, imo.
I'd go with LA for real, anyway. David Stern must be disappointed Cleveland and LeBron James missed out.
However, if one were trying to pick who might win the basketball championship, it would be tough to bet against the Magic. They seem surprisingly capable...
I'll let syg be my scorekeeper, thanks for some initial research by samsung. I haven't been to any Orlando clubs in over 10 yrs. I have been to several L.A. area clubs, all reports indicate there's NFW I'd get in Orlando what I got in tamest L.A. club. So, city-wise, L.A. wins hands down. While L.A. has 25 clubs, there's a crapload of clubs within 1 hr drive(non-rush hr) of Staples Center, or LAX, and another crapload within 2 hrs. L.A. metro area gets only 3 clubs in T100, with best being #36. Orlando, otoh, gets some awesome long distance help from Tampa with 3 T100 clubs (best being #2 rated Monz), and 1 from Cocoa Beach(Inner Room) in T100. Arguably, fans from both areas could be Miami Heat fans, so I'm not giving full weighting to this factor.
LAKERS vs MAGIC: The awesome long distance (even if somewhat dilluted by Heat fan population) help from Tampa portends Magic edge in 3 pointers. But in the end, that won't be enough to overcome basic L.A. edge in the home city clubs, coupled with sheer number of bordering clubs, especially COI clubs. I'm sure we all can name some clubs not in T100 that we had a good time at, I can name several in LA area in past few yrs.// LOS ANGELES LAKERS IN 6.
Thanks for teh prediction minnow, and the rest of y'all!
