What a shame in the Izod Center, the announcer just claimed people to come down at the sits near the floor, because almost no one went to the game of today (vs. Timberwolves)

:rofl:

at least they play better than Vancouver Grizzlies ever did. ANyways there team is moving, so it really does not matter for there fans. I would like if the Raps can pull off a trade and land Vince Carter for a pair of schrubs (Martin, Graham, Humphries). :clap:

That's why Jay-Z's moving them to Brooklyn.

Plus, they suck.

I've got to remember to log in when I come on RealGM - everytime I read a post by James699 I cringe. It's like that feeling you get when someone scrapes their fingernails down a chalkboard. Like seriously, are you (Please Use More Appropriate Word) or something? If not, how old are you, like 7? Damnit, your annoying!

Obviously they don't have great attendance on a regular basis, but there is a big snowstorm which has contributed to the awful attendance tonight.

They've mentioned it several times during the broadcast, funny how you heard the PA announcement, but not any of the references to the snowstorm.

Even when they were in the playoffs they didn't sell out playoff games.

They've never had good support there.

It's snowing...

Why should fans care about a team that is moving?

If the Sonics ever finally decide to move you'll see a steep decline in attendance.

99 Problems · Post #17 » by **99 Problems** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 2:41 am

Probably the snowstorm was the reason for today, but they usually have terrible attendance....

I don't think I've ever seen that arena full or semi-full in any game I've watched this year.... The fans were already bad a few years ago when they were in the Finals, now the team is bad I guess its hard to draw people in... Its probably a good thing they're moving to Brooklyn...

AGGiE · Post #18 » by **AGGiE** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 2:56 am

They did have 1 sellout that I remember against the Celtics. :-?

Exactly if youy know your team is going to move fans are not going to filling the stadium. Win or lose.

+1. People complaining about James669 are just annoying as him. The ignore list is there for a reason.
