Fans usually show up decently well to the opening night games. With all the new and returning faces I fully expect the palace to be mostly full on opening night. If they continue to win I also expect it to stay relatively full. As for having nationally televised games, it obviously depends on how well we play. That said I think we'll be a good team and make the playoffs so I think we'll have 1-2 national games.

I think we will be an exciting playoff team. We rebuilt this roster with new faces and brought back guys like Billups and Sheed. As long as we don't bomb this season I expect the palace to be pretty full most nights.

the funny thing is, apparently it was trey burke that was meant to bring in fans, and by passing on him, no one would show up... something tells me this team will bring a hell of a lot more.

Yes the team seems much better and with a decent team the Palace should be the Palace again.

I think we'll be one of the most exciting teams in the league, fans will start to show up to the palace again, and we will be on national TV a lot more often. If there are going to be as many alley oops as I think there will be, I think we'll be on a lot more than 1-2 national games.

Alot of these offseason moves, while certainly made to help us contend, were definitely made to put fans in the seats. The team was incredibly boring to watch these last few years (excepting the Dre highlights) and it is no shock that our attendance was awful.

We brought back an old fan favorite in Billups, who I expect to start early if only so Mason can introduce him and get the fans excited. We brought in an athletic dunking machine in Smoove and an attacking lead guard in Jennings, who the average fan can like (Cue common fan saying "he hit an off-balance step back 20 footer? Awesome!" while my head explodes). And don't forget Datome, the suave looking Italian who will have Palace women swooning the first time a jersey malfunction occurs (and it will occur).

Will we be back to non-stop sell-out days? I dunno. But our ticket sales are going to get a huge, huge bump and most nights I bet the Palace is just about full. I'm glad to have an interesting team again, I will say that

Gores has shown he's a masterful businessman. He has put an intriguing product on the floor. Let's see if he's willing to spend to build a contender

Place was getting filled with more people when Drummond was making himself known.
