I can't stay mad at you, Knicks. I hope Melo continues on this roll. He sure is fun to watch when he's feeling it.

Really? Thats funny because I was going to games when Van Exel, Eddie Jones, Sedale Threat, Vlade, Elden Campbell, and company were leading the Lakers to the playoffs and to the 1994 season in which we missed the playoffs. Still following the team and listening/watching the broadcasts with Chick and Stu. As was my family and friends. You really don't have a clue.

Look at the numbers.

Big drop from 92 to 97.

No lie.

Be in LA all you want, still doesn't change the fact the arena sounded emptier.

To be fair, isn't this the logic we all use to deride the Miami fanbase?

Guys like MOB, Wesker and Pheephee were here when their team was barely making the playoffs, their 'culture' got hijacked by bandwagoners and dickriders. Happens to every fanbase. I have a friend who is a real Clippers fan and I know a few bandwagoners, its the way of the sports world. But real recognize real.

No. The heat are contenders and Miami doesn't care that much. And most of them believe Michael Jordan was the greatest player in their franchise's history.

Every area has a dip when the team is worse. Especially when a city gets devastated by an earthquake...

I just saw the press conference with Stan Van Gundy, when Dewight Howard goes up and puts his arm around Dwight Howard it is so freaking awkward.

wouldn't it be sadder if you compared them to the attendance of the Spurs or Jazz?

Good point, or OKC after a while. Those are cultures I can appreciate.

Damn that earthquake argument, attendance went down the year before, less than 2 years after they went to the Finals...

And Magic retired. And it was 1 year. '93-94 had the EQ (was in January on MLK day) and attendance, shock, dropped a lot. And I swear the were redoing some seating in the forum in the mid 90s. The capacity, IIRC, was smaller for a few years.

The attendance barely dropped in a down year. It was already back to 16k in '95.

edit: it should also be noted that teams that weren't good didn't sell out close to 15k, for the most part, in the mid 90s.

How worried is knicksage about the possibility of not being in the playoffs?

If you lose tonight, MIL play the bobtanks tomorrow and MIL has the season series at 2-1.


Turbulent times.

That's my point. Knicks fans had to root for Eddy Curry. Bulls fans could only be enthusiastic about Kukoc. Celtics fans had Dee Brown. And attendance numbers didn't go down that drastically.

Bullshit!

http://www.databasebasketball.com/teams/teamatt.htm?tm=CHI&lg=n

Bulls dropped more than the Lakers post-Jordan.

Knicks didn't do shit in the 80s at MSG and the attendance was awful. When the team was good, it was good. Knicks in the 00s stayed high, but the NBA in the 2000s is faaaaar more popular than it ever has been (in terms of # of people that go to games). And it also had a slight dip when they sucked.

But the Bobcats beat Milwaukee already. They can do it again.

Right?

I've already bet 100 bucks on the Bobcats beating the Knicks at the end of the season.

You're whining about a 2 year period of time after an earthquake...and you said Knicks Fans? Dude really? Your fans chanted MVP for opposing players in the Garden. By everyone's own admission...most people weren't interested in the Knicks until after Amar'e signed and that created interest and buzz


You're still missing the point that the Lakers numbers in the mid 90's were equal to the numbers in the mid 80's when we were winning chips. You don't live in LA...you have no clue what you're talking about. Particularly in comparing it to the Clips. People in LA could get FREE clips tickets a million different ways and no one cared...even the ones that had the tickets wouldn't use them 80% of the time.
