    It seems like we are. Our homecrowd hates us, we only get like 10,000 people at our games now. Do we even have our own special commentators?

    Im not American, so I wouldnt know this. But is Milwaukee a big place? Or is it a very small place? Seems pretty small because nobody is attending our games anymore. Its getting embarrasing.

    I dont know what we have to do so the fans will be back on our side........

    Milwaukee is a small town, and pro basketball doesn't appeal to most of their fans. Losing also doesn't help the situation, but Milwaukee is predominantly a football town (Green Bay Packers) and they have a strong following for their college sports.

    The NBA has become very expensive for families to attend. Most prefer to simply watch it at home.

    Shape's mostly correct. People only care about the Badger basketball team because it's made up of many Wisconsin kids and because they win. The Bucks are a pro team whose players probably don't even like the city, and they're a black eye as a franchise. I don't blame people for not liking the Bucks [​IMG] But like when we had Ray Allen and Co, if the team starts winning, fans WILL show up. It's a rule of thumb in the Dairy State as much as anywhere; if you win, fans will show up. Look at the Brewers, or Badger basketball - 10 years ago, nobody cared, but when Dick Bennett started winning, basketball got just as big as football. If you win, they will come.

    So do you think the Bucks will eventually move to another city?

    Sorry to break the news to you but yes you guys do and they're the worst commentators IMO because their southern accent gets on my nerves [​IMG] It somewhat sounds like Blue Collard Comedy tour with their redneck accents

    The Boston commentators are also pretty bad.

    I have never even seen the Milwaukee commentators before. I just thought because the Bucks seem so poor, they wouldnt have any.

    [​IMG] We don't have any announcer/commentator with a Southern accent that I know of. Jon McGlocklin (former Buck from Indiana) is the only person who's got anything close to an accent - he's our guy on FSN with Jim Pashke [​IMG]

    I think he was mistaken our commentators for the Boston ones.

    Don't the Boston commentators have the usual Boston accent? That isn't southern.

    You could be confused with that.

    I think Bucks are averaging just over 16,000 people at their games. Is that good for an NBA team? Is that enough to keep the club up and running?

    I am suprised fans still turn up after todays game. Unless the fans at the games want us to keep tanking.

    Well have u ever seen a Hawks playing at home? There're very few fans if they aren't playing some team like Lakers, because then ppl come to watch kobe, and the worst thing, they're rooting for opposing team.

    Which is why they will most likely move city.

    I also have heard rumours that the Bucks might move to Las Vegas.
