Anyone who lasted all season attending games until the final buzzer went off is a straight masochist. Definitely one of the most miserable seasons, if not the most miserable, I've endured as a sports fan at the college or pro level.
I haven't been to a game since Oladipo's rookie season, the product is just too bad (both on the court and arena atmosphere). My time/money is more valuable
I watched every game last season, some i did other things while watching though.
if i went i'd never leave before the buzzer, i don't get why that's so common in u.s sports for losing fans to just leave
Blanket statement, but more people have to drive longer distances to get home in the US versus Europe. Leaving with everyone else at the end of the 4th when the Magic lose by 30, you're guaranteed to hit some traffic... just makes the experience that much more brutal

I guess it depends how far you travel that's true. I don't live in Europe. Where i live traffic is terrible if you drive to an event but we have a lot of public transport and they time it well so as a sporting event finishes there's a bunch more trains running to take everyone home.

Ever see Detroit's halftime shows? They have Busta Ryhmes and we have the disabled foundation allstars(no disrespect) but for entertainment purposes come on, man. We had a cool, yet washed up and awkward male contortionist/balance artist the last game I went to. I couldn't stop thinking of the Busta concert. Who are they selling to? The Brazilian tourists wanna see this crap? Do the wine and cheezers wanna see that? I don't get it. The Amway Center has a poor basketball atmosphere, but they have all sorts of concerts year round. They can't convince some talent to stay for the magic halftime?

They should just get the chinese girl who spins bowls all the time. Or similar kind of performers. I don't think they need a concert or something even the disabled players or having kids play is cool in my opinion. It's the arena music that can be improved so many just have cringey songs, you don't need hip songs just vary it up abit with some known classic songs instead of the same cheesey hip hop type songs they play all season long.

Maybe I'm a horrible individual, but I've seen the chinese girls too many times.
We are Orlando, Florida, USA. Why do we need to settle for basement level talent at our premier sporting events?

Well maybe Disney will have Mickey, Minnie and their friends to shoot basketball for halftime shows.

Gomagic44 wrote:That's largely why I didn't go to any game past Dallas last November. Atmosphere is super corporate. I felt out of place as a diehard fan. And then some Ucf kids couldn't handle their Booz and dumped a drink on an older man and my wife from the next section up. Spent a quarter finding them and identifying them for police. After giving my information because our experience was rather ruined, we were never contacted back by the organization offering us tickets to another game or anything.
Since the product is a dumpster fire at the moment I just didn't feel motivated to spend my money on another experience like that.
Sadly I have more fun watching games and talking here and the discord chat than actually going to the games.

"In Orlando, I was getting 13-15 shots a game. Last season, in Atlanta, it was six shot attempts. It looks like I'm not involved in the game. And if I miss a shot, it sticks out because I am not getting very many of them. But I think it's all opportunity, the system. I haven't had a system where I can be who I am since I was in Orlando."
"I haven't had a system where I can be who I am since I was in Orlando," Howard said. "The fact that I played with a Kobe [Bryant], a James [Harden], and they were ball-dominant, affected me. But I've been in this system before, and I know how dominant I can be. I think I'm smarter now, and that is going to allow me to use my quickness and explosiveness in a better way."
