    this team is fun to watch. theyr'e kind of like the anti nba, nba team if that makes any sense. once people start to pay attention the fans will come out. i don't think it will ever be like it was 10 years ago though.

    I wasn't there, but I was told from an uncle of mine that the Spectrum was PACKED back in the days of Julius and back in the days of Wilt at the Civic Center. Plus, 14k for both those places was a lot. Problem has been being a legit organization consistently.

    And Chicago topping off in attendance is easier when you have over 8 million - EIGHT. MILLION - people in your city alone represented by one team. That's like the Dodgers in LA even though they haven't won shit in the last 2 decades. The Angels never counted there - well, not until signing Albert.

    spectrum's capacity was around 18,00. they averaged 15,775 in the championship year. that was their highest average until the iverson years according to this site:

    http://www.apbr.org/attendance.html

    however you are right that 14k was a good crowd back then. that's what they averaged in the 89/90 season.

    need to find a site that has what the percentages were...

    ALSO - is it true that this team plays their next 16 of 20 games at home? That sucks. As much as I kinda like this team, that can't bode well down the stretch.

    yeah. something like that. good and bad. they're on the road almost the entire month of april. bunch of scrub teams though.

    I know hawes is off to a good start but I still don't like him. he just got swatted by a guard. take the ball strong for once. you're seven feet tall, fucking act like it and stop being so soft

    hawes and brand both in foul trouble.

    mostly tips, but it's nice to finally have a big man that's active in the paint

    kid hustles his ass off and has some touch. He gets the fixer stamp of approval

    Defense looking real good. Decent challenge tonight too. Wish Granger was on the court though.

    yeah, sixers have definitely had some breaks early on. third time they have faced a team without their best player (g st, utah, indy).

    got a little ugly at the end, but it's another win (and cover)

    I know it's a pipe dream, but kevin love is a FA after the year. would be insane if they amnesty brand and get love

    see it's because of possibilities like this that i've been an advocate for them to win instead of tanking. they're already a young, decent team on the rise. say they win the division and/or actually win a playoff series for the first time in a decade---that will help lure potential free agents here...and as each day passes it becomes a little easier to get rid of iguadala and brand's contract which will free up the cap space to sign someone like love.


    edit-- looks like love is a restricted free agent.

    They're beating the bad teams badly. Like they should. Looking forward to this stretch...
