City with the most viewers of the NBA finals minus Detroit and S.A. ->
...is Atlanta!
We will go to games if the team is worth watching. I can't fathom the prospect of Atlanta having a winning basketball team. BUT, if it ever happened, Phillips Arena would be the absolute sh*t on game nights. That said, if we get Marvin Williams, Atlanta is gonna be like Chicago's "Baby Bulls", only better. |

Re: City with the most viewers of the NBA finals minus Detroit and S.A
I also can't see the Bucks taking anyone other than Andrew Bogut. It's pretty funny how they fired Terry Porter right before the draft, though. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I have a bad feeling that the Knicks will take a flyer on Salim Stoudamire, but I doubt it will happen. |

[/ QUOTE ] Wow, probably the second best team in the majors for a decade behind the Yankees, and the esteemed sports town of Atlanta manages to place in the top third of the league. Impressive. I hear you guys were even able to sell most of the good seats to your playoff games too. That deserves a pat on the back. |

Re: City with the most viewers of the NBA finals minus Detroit and S.A
Who the [censored] are "you guys?" I'm from Louisiana where the Saints sell out and nobody goes to see the Hornets. Gee, maybe it's because the Hornets blow and the Saints are actually entertaining!
If Atlanta fans don't give a [censored] about the Hawks, they don't give a [censored] about the Hawks. That doesn't make them horrible - in fact, it makes them intelligent. |
Re: City with the most viewers of the NBA finals minus Detroit and S.A
OK, here we go.
1991: 6th in the NL 1992: 1st 1993: 2nd 1994: 2nd 1995: 3rd 1996: 3rd 1997: 2nd 1998: 3rd 1999: 2nd Maybe if Atlanta actually wins something in the post season again, they'll get back to the top. |
Re: City with the most viewers of the NBA finals minus Detroit and S.A
Atlanta sports fans have also sold out the GA Dome for the past two Falcons seasons. I'm willing to bet they do it again this year.

By the way, Eli Marrerro, a bench player for the Braves last season, got a standing ovation when he pinch hit for the Orioles in the 8th inning.

[/ QUOTE ] The thing that was impressive about that was the way Smoltz handled him. No mercy. Smoltz dialed it up a notch and struck him out. He blew him away, which he did to everyone, but it seemed like his intensity and velocity was higher... He looked like he wanted to kill him. The guys are probably friends so he wanted to make sure that he lost no edge. |

Re: City with the most viewers of the NBA finals minus Detroit and S.A
Let me break it down for you:
Chicago fans pay to watch their teams play Atlanta fans pay to watch their teams win I see zero point in going to a Hawks game right now. Why the hell should I, seriously? A Braves, Thrashers, of Falcons game, on the other hand, I will gladly watch. |
