Knicks fans taking over Philadelphia

[GSWFan1994]

I don't see anything wrong with that.

The cities are relatively close, the Knicks have a huge fanbase, and the fans are hungry for some playoff success... that's basically a recipe for what happened and will happen a lot down the line.

If this were to happen in a Corinthians vs. Palmeiras or Flamengo vs Fluminense game... how many people would be sent to hospital and how military policemen would you need to control the crowd?

It depends. When these games happen, civilized people stay more or less together, in the same section in the stands. Sometimes in different sections.

Now if we are talking about the "torcidas organizadas" ("organized crowds" I think?), then it's a whole different matter. They enter the stadium via separate routes, they stand in sectors very far from each other, they even leave the stadium in different times.

I remember there was a Corinthians vs Boca Juniors match in the Libertadores Cup some years ago, the Corinthians fans left the match immediately after it ended, then the policemen kept the Boca Juniors fans inside the stadium for like 1 hour, then they were allowed to leave. I think the same happens in european matches between rivals, no?

Sixers fans were in their feels being down 0-2 off of a **** game ending and overall fatigue from failure for years in a row.

I am sure that more Sixers fans will show up to game 4.

Cockroaches. And F the Sixer season ticket holders who sold to these scum.

This is a perfectly healthy way to talk about human beings that choose a slightly different source of entertainment. Stay classy & good luck on Sunday

Grow up. It's sports and banter on a sports forum. Rivalries and trash talk is part of the fun. Now watch Philly take out the trash on your bum poverty organization in game 4.

It's pretty embarrassing for them but they can't do much about it. Are they going to make tickets non-transferable and only sell them to season ticket holders and people who don't have New York or North Jersey mailing addresses?

Lol cockroaches for...let me check...going to a basketball game their team is playing in?

And this is something season ticket holders of any team will do. Too much money to be made for it not to be commonplace. in most cases the season ticket holders have no idea who they're selling the tickets to.

"Grow up" the go to greeting of someone just having fun and enjoying the banter The 6ers will lose, but it's not your fault you root for a weak-willed team. So what's the point of attacking you as a person? To make ourselves feel more involved in someone else's accomplishment?

These franchises don't stand for anything or they wouldn't change towns whenever they want to renovate their stadium and aren't paid enough money to stay. This isn't going to a match against BFC with a crowbar because those authoritarian dips*** still want the Stasi back and you won't be able to get to the arena without one.

Geography and demographics.

Those cities/franchises in the northeast USA, are big markets with huge fanbase. Kinda bunched up and not too far from each other.
NYC/NJ/Brrooklyn, Philly, Washington DC, Boston, Toronto, etc. They also have a large mixture and transplants from each other's cities.
It's common for those areas in other sports as well. NHL (Hockey), MLB, NFL.

Also, as others have stated, there have been some really cheap tickets for the playoff games up there in that area. Good deal!

Example: Other regions that you see this in that happens at times. The Midwest. Chicago!! The largest market, city in that region, large fan base and transplants to other cities. Sometimes you see it with Bulls fans, Cubs /White Sox (MLB) fans, Bears (NFL), Blackhawks (NHL). They can overpower other smaller markets stadiums at times in that region. Milwaukee (Brewers, Bucks, Packers), Indiana (Pacers, Colts), Cleveland (Indians, Browns), Detroit (Pistons, Lions, Red Wings, Tigers), etc.

Knicks fans are really hungry.

[VanWest82]

I've stopped killing fanbases for not buying tickets given the prices. It's thousands of dollars for two people to go. Besides, Knicks fans have been saving up for decades.

This is a big part of it. Knicks fans are starving and been starving for decades. Now they have a team that looks destined for the Conference Finals, so they are going to get excited. Aside from that, geography definitely plays a part. I'm close to the NY area and Philly is about an hour and a half drive for me. If you have money for tickets and live in NY/NJ, then it's a pretty easy commute.

They're the only ones left that he hasn't blamed yet.
