	2% more people knew that the Lakers shared an arena with the Clippers than knew that the Clippers shared an arena with the Lakers. Only on Sporcle.

	Excellent and fun quiz. A few answers tripped me up though. I keyed in "Trailblazers" for Grizzlies, forgetting all about the fact that the Grizzlies no longer play in Vancouver (even though the move was several years ago). Also, I found many of the Texas/Southern teams to be tricky, there seems to be a lot of teams clustered around the southern belt.

	Absolutely love these quizzes.

	Is it bad that my first guess for the Trail Blazers were the Sonics?

	120watts:	Feb 11th, 2012 at 18:04 GMT		1 point
	why is there an asterisk beside the Suns? If it is to indicate that there are two valid choices, then that kind of gives it away, doesn't it?

	Trajan:	Feb 11th, 2012 at 18:10 GMT		2 points
	Rob42: Probably you should have tried SuperSonics for Grizzlies?

	I live in Memphis, and I've driven to both Atlanta and New Orleans many times, and I am really surprised that Atlanta is closer. Weird.

	Memphis is not just on the other side of Louisiana. You also have to go through all of Mississippi or most of Arkansas to get there. However, the roads are more direct to New Orleans from Memphis than they are to Atlanta.

	You should accept Wolves or T-Wolves for Timberwolves. Otherwise, great quiz.

	emussoni:	Feb 11th, 2012 at 21:36 GMT		2 points
	It would be great if you could accept some commonly used abbreviations/nicknames: Mavs, Cavs, T-wolves/Wolves, Blazers, Sixers. Aside from that, fun quiz.

	regger:	Feb 11th, 2012 at 21:40 GMT		9 points
	Just for the heck of it I typed in Knickerbockers for Celtics and it didn't take. Is that still their official nickname or am I just, well, old?

	Klaus:	Feb 11th, 2012 at 23:56 GMT		0 points
	should accept some abbreviations such as Cavs, Mavs, Wolves, etc.

	Crow? What crow?

	puckett86:	Feb 12th, 2012 at 02:46 GMT		6 points
	With the wrong answer format there are just way too many nicknames that would need to be accepted for consistency that I chose to just accept the official team names.

	I have bad geography skills when it comes to Texas, and it really showed on this quiz!

	pitfallharry219:	Feb 12th, 2012 at 21:13 GMT		-1 points
	I'm sure your geography skills aren't as bad as someone's that is actually from Texas.

	I didn't think this quiz would be allowed because there isn't an NBA team in Kyzyzrygstan

	@120watts: Not entirely. It's possible (albeit extremely unlikely) that Phoenix might have been equidistant from, say, Salt Lake City and Denver.

	Detroit is closer to Toronto then Cleveland is.

	towny35:	Feb 13th, 2012 at 22:15 GMT		3 points
	@jeff2266: Not as the crow flies. Toronto to Detroit = 206 miles. Toronto to Cleveland = 189 miles.

	I hate to inform whoever writes the comments on the front page, but you will have to update this quiz when the Nets move to Brooklyn next year, regardless of the wishes of Kings fans.

	@strags11 that's b/c ppl who got one wrong, saw the zero and easily got the second one right. But yea, when I was playing I lol'd when I saw the Clippers.

	@strags11 3% knew that the Magic were closest to the Heat than the Heat were closest to the Magic. ..." "

	Trail Blazers closest team... SuperSonics? :(

	DirtyDawg:	Dec 14th, 2012 at 00:00 GMT		3 points
	With the Nets moving to Brooklyn, the 76ers closest team is the Knicks and the Celtics closest team is Brooklyn

	puckett86:	Dec 15th, 2012 at 14:14 GMT		4 points
	@DirtyDawg Interestingly, the answers haven't actually changed, even after the Nets move to Brooklyn: Nets-Celtics = 191 mi, Knicks-Celtics = 188 mi, so the Knicks are still closest to the Celtics Knicks-76ers = 85 mi, Nets-76ers = 83 mi, so the Nets are still the closest to the 76ers I have updated the distances though, so thanks for bringing it up.
