    That is an incredible stat. If that's substantiated, that's too egregious to not look into.

    That's insane. There are a few things I'd like to know pertaining to that stat, about each game. Things like who LBJ was playing against, what round of the playoffs was it, was it a home game or away game for LBJ, what was the series record at the time.

    Lebron James' playoff record: 66-53.
    I find that very hard to believe. I can't find an actual source for this information, other than some Tweets.

    I see you conveniently ignore the travel before the foul.

    The NBA needs to change traveling to 4 steps, everybody is consistently taking 3

    Incredibly, some (in fact many) Heat fans left early.

    It isn't over until it's over.

    And people consistently get away with fouls.
    Ginobli's reputation as a flopper certainly didn't help his cause either.

    No reentry is pretty standard at sports venues these days. It says so on tickets and there are signs on the door. Even if they thought their team was losing, how about a round of applause at the end of their season? Sorry, not a lot of sympathy for those "fans".

    I just can't understand how any fan could leave in that situation. Even if they lose, you gotta stay there and applaud them for a really hard-fought season. This is a team that won 27 games in a row. They won the title last year. LeBron is a free agent in 2014. You have to show both him and the team the respect they earned this year and give them an ovation. And you have to stay to applaud a gutty performance by Tim Duncan.

    I guess the point is the people who left weren't really fans. Just people with lots of money dropping in to see a spectacle. Man, I wish I had the kind of money to attend every game of the World Series and just leave when I inevitably got bored. I hate baseball, but I'd love to have that kind of dough.

    Seriously. If the Blazers made it to the finals, I would expect every last Blazers fan in attendance (can't account for the other team's fans who sneak in) to stay and honor the team after the game, win or lose.

    Agree. And since Duncan is retiring, how about a round of applause for an NBA great?

    Here in Oaktown fans of both the A's and the Warriors stayed for about 10 minutes after the final playoff game to cheer their teams. The A's came back onto the field and tipped their caps. Stephen Curry led Warriors fans in the team chant. But we're the city they want to take the teams from!

    No comments on this stat. In the last 14 1/2 minutes, the Spurs got 3/4 of the fouls. Joe Crawford?

    The A's have had a pathetic attendance level for years. Same with my Raiders, and so did Golden State when they were terrible.

    Oakland/East Bay just isn't a sports' hotbed. The A's are in first place right now, yet only averaging 21k/game, which is 63% of capacity in a stadium that they cover the upper decks in tarps to make it seems 'smaller'.

    I will add this. The Warriors do have a stronger fanbase, simply because a lot of people from SF make the trip over the bridge to games since there is no SF NBA team.

    The A's filled the stadium when they had owners who wanted fans there. The current owners resemble the parody in Major League. Do everything they can to keep fans from attending from ridiculous new "rules" to getting rid of anything remotely edible, raise prices on tickets and concessions, reduce promotions, make it harder, not easier, to get season tix (I canceled mine after nearly 20 years) but mostly the knowledge they really don't want us there. The ones still there are die hard. The Warriors actually had pretty decent attendance even when they sucked. Of course, it's a smaller space.

    Here we go. One team will be crowned champion. The other team will basically be garbage.

    So this is it now! Everybody get down! This is all I can take! This is how a heart breaks!
