Obviousyl, the the shine will be off that rose pretty soon. And, there's no way PHilly matches their numbers from last season, since that team's going sideways now. <BR/><BR/>I agree, Stern is trying to prop up his league. But SC? Best team int he land? With that offense? Not that I all for FLA v OK, but SC? No way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-56122574891454232122008-12-15T15:07:00.000-08:002008-12-15T15:07:00.000-08:00Awesome information - thanks for compiling.You can...Awesome information - thanks for compiling.<BR/><BR/>You can also look at it this way - combine all nine teams that improved attendance with the six teams that could not possibly improve attendance (I assume those 0's in the middle are teams that were at capacity last year, and remain at capacity this year), and you get 15, or exactly half the league.<BR/><BR/>In other words, one could argue that half of the NBA either remains at capacity or has improved their attendance, while half has seen a decline. Not a great story, but certainly not a bad one in this economy - and supports Stern's paraphrased "doing as well as last year" statement.<BR/><BR/>Much like selecting teams for the BCS title game, there are many 'correct' ways to interpret the numbers here. Also like the BCS, there is an answer that all smart people can agree on (Stern is trying to prop up his league, and USC is the best team in the land).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
