Sacto's home team

PG DeMarcus Nelson (Sacramento, CA)
SG Chuck Hayes (Modesto, CA)
SF Matt Barnes (Sacramento, CA)
PF Robin Lopez (Fresno, CA)*
C Brook Lopez (Fresno, CA)*/Ryan Hollins (El Dorado Hills, CA)
"BG Analysis: This team will have problems with such young players (2 rooks) but they have talent. They just don't have any playmakers that can create and nobody except for maybe b. Lopez can create their own shot. So this is a relatively weak squad with no real guards or swingmen.
My Take: Probably worth seeing the Lopez twins out there together, I'd love to see them play two-on-two with the Collins twins. This team is garbage, though."

Finally a team the Kings could beat, the link does this for all the bball cities.

And DeMarcus Nelson is from Vallejo

Not Sacramento.

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

I am the stone that builder refused..I am the visual...The inspiration..That made lady sing the blues....I'm the spark that makes your idea bright.....The same spark that lights the dark....So that you can know your left from your right...I am the ballot in your box....The bullet in your gun...The inner glow that lets you know...To call your brother son....The story that just begun...The promise of what's to come...And I'm 'a remain a soldier till the war is won....

Maybe not

Sacramento to Fresno: 172 miles

Fresno to LA: 205 miles.

Yeah, but have you been there?

Sadly, I’ve spent some time there, and I think they consider themselves more SoCal when it comes to sports.

Yeah, I've been there

Personally, I’d make the dividing line between Sac and LA somewhere between Fresno and Bakersfield. To me it all seems pretty connected from Stockton to Modesto to Merced to Fresno and then a big nothing until Bakersfield. I know Visalia is in there, but that’s the way it seems to me.

I’ve never lived in Fresno, so I have no idea how they consider themselves, but I’ve lived in Sac and I’ve lived in LA and I would consider Fresno more Sac-like than LA-like.

For the exercise in question, I wouldn’t consider Fresno part of either LA or Sac. I would only include city proper and suburbs.
