    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">It was a disappinting crowd Monday night at the FIBA Americas Cup in Las Vegas. As the Washington Post reported, about 4,000 or so fans were "sprinkled" around the stands at Thomas & Mack Center. That got Jason Kidd to make comparisons with the Continental Airlines Arena. "I called it the New Jersey crowd. There was hardly anybody in the stands," said Kidd, who as the Post noted "has grown accustomed to sparse crowds."</div>

    It's not a diss. It's true. Nets fans in general are some of the worst in the league.

    If it was insulting, it's deserved.

    It is quite, not a harsh environment what so over. The Raptor crowd, I could see becoming one of the best crowds in the league because of our passion.

    That's why they are moving to Brooklyn.

    They are moving to Brooklyn more because of the new ownership group than fan support. The reason they lack so much fan support is because the stadium is horrible, not to mention the location in Jersey. If they built a new stadium the fans would show up.

    This is kind of off topic, but the Nets will be renamed the Brooklyn Nets wont they once they move? Or will they remain New Jersey, just move their base operations over to Brooklyn?

    From what I understand NJ is close by anyway isnt it?

    Haha, they will be changed to the Brooklyn Nets. There's no way in hell New Yorkers would let a team be called New Jersey anything and play in New York.

    Hey, if the New York Giants can play in New Jersey, than the New Jersey Nets can play in New York. Don't rule anything out.

    Yeah, well thats why I asked the question.

    How far is Brooklyn from MSG by the way? I just never thought the City of NY was that big, and if its like 10 minutes down the road, then I dont really see the point in another team there.

    It really depends on where in Brooklyn you are. Usually it takes me 40-80 mins to get there, depending on the days and times I'm travelling there by train.
