    Well, they deserve it.

    You can say it was because of the storm but the metro area of NJ is huge. Having 1,000 fans show up is sad.

    I was watching part of a Memphis game the other night. Even though Memphis is near .500 most of the seats were empty.

    Isn't Memphis a pretty poor city?

    Same with Newark?

    Like OKC, Memphis should not have a pro franchise.

    It's ok. The Russian Mafia will start attending Nets games soon. Just think, all the game noise will make it very hard for the FBI to eavesdrop on them!:devilwink:

    They've only sold out 13 times this season.

    The Nets have 4 games thus far, and the weather was horrible yesterday. Why risk traveling in dangerous conditions to watch your home team get blown out.

    And btw, the Nets arena is the middle of a swamp.

    I went to a SMALL high school and we drew 2.5x as many fans for every home game (which was our gym's maximum capacity).

    But hey, they are the worst team in NBA history. So, they deserve the worst crowds. Still, it's sad to see. You think they would start giving tickets away by the thousands to get the parking and consession revenue.

    I drove a treacherous Columbia River Gorge a few times in the winter to watch a crappy 21 win team. But I guess even that is better than that record. ;)

    The Nets have never had great attendance, even when they were a winning team.

    There were times when the Blazers, during their most recent run of crappy seasons, had far smaller #'s than the number announced in attendance.

    Yea that is pretty normal to this day. I am not sure why they bother doing this, except that it means more advertising revenue.

    When the Nets were good, i don't think there attendance was good. It's a shithole! The arena is horrible and it's tucked in the middle of a swamp. Memphis' arena is gorgeous, but always empty. Pretty poor town. OKC= Giant Trailor Park.

    I watched the blazers play there on a sunday afternoon and about half of the seats were empty. Most people I know in Tulsa hate the NBA.
