    They should do what Portland did during our darker years (21 and 27 win seasons). throw tickets at fans.

    Any fan who shows up with a paper bag gets in for free.

    yeah I must admit, when I first read the title on Realgm I figured it would be free tickets.. not a bag.

    I would take said bag, open it, take a dump in it, light it on fire and run.

    They get tired of their fans dressing up as empty seats?

    Jesus. So what's the promotion if a Jersey fan gets so depressed he hangs himself? "Buy two tickets, two hot dogs, two cokes, and we'll throw in a free noose!"

    There's making lemonade out of lemons, and then there's putting ice cubes in a cup of piss.

    I think the next promotion will have something to do with them breaking the futility record.

    This one is probably just an attempt to get rid of alot of inventory they do not want to throw away.

    I think they actually had a fist pumping night promo. god I remember when Blazers marketing was that bush-league back in the late 90s/early 2000s.

    I still can't believe the shit they make the guys go through on the team (i.e. the stupid birthday video montages and stuff like that)

    The promotion that they did that gave 25 lower bowl game tickets for $99? Goddamn, that was an awesome deal.

    All of the Nets' promotional gimmicks this year have been embarrassing but not as much as the team itself.
