I fully expect the Spurs losing streak to end in Milwaukee next week.

I had the same thought about Detroit on Saturday

It's an awful deal. It is similar to the new Miller Park deal, where its city owned, but the team lease it and the team had a ton of leverage.

That said, it's part of a larger tax that's been in place for 30 years and led to a ton of city upgrades like the existing arena, a new conference center, new parks and a complete restructure of the area. The city was a trash pit before it was implemented and now downtown is quite nice. Also, the Thunder were as good as gone if it didn't go through. It's one of the few additional taxes where you can actually see city improvement.

Why is this an awful deal?

First time I can recall Draymond showed a bit of remorse after one of these incidents and the nba was still "we are tired of your ****, Draymond". Don't blame them either. He's not going to change from this either but not sure what else they can do.
