    Of course a good reason is because of the slam dunk champ Josh Smith. I think the attendence will continue to sky rocket as the team gets better.

    Another reason is the fact that the NBA had a lot of great and fun east teams to watch. I remember going to a heat-hawks game and it was a sellout 2 days after the tickets were online.

    Beat me to it, I think it's mostly because of Smittey.
