sadly it looks like the only ny team on expapp is the mets.
i have copped tickets to about six nets games so far from my buddy with season access but even with the knicks utterly fucking abysmal record, stubhub seats still start around $40 for midtier

on the plus side, dude's tickets are throw-a-tennis-ball distance from beyonce so just staring at her when the nets are down twenty has been a reasonable distraction

there's a big transient pop but that's true alot of places. the only thing most ppl in the south are truly sports fans in the way ppl in the ne are sox or knicks fans or whatever is college football (and tbh i kinda doubt ne sports fans are as crazy in their fandom as sec football fans). college football predates professional sports in the south by a good bit and most professional sports in atlanta weren't even really competent until somewhat recently - 91 w/ the braves, whenever arthur blank bought the falcons. i think the braves and falcons have legit strong fanbases now though, braves were helped by being on tv everywhere and wsb had their am radio rights and their signal was insane. falcons have sucked for past two years but ppl still care, ppl have delusions and hopes that two or three moves can right this ship, whereas like nobody thought 'we'll get 'em next year' after the super bowl year or anything. hawks it's weird in that they haven't really had those stretches of being outright fucking awful that the braves and falcons had (not that i recall at least, bad years but not a bad decade) but their successes are minor. like if i think of the best season the hawks had in terms of atlanta buying in it was the year of the nique-bird duel and that ended w/ the hawks out in the second round, just like last year, just like most years. honestly though there's a heavy racial element to it i'd guess and a heavy anti-atlanta sentiment outside of atlanta (esp immediately outside of atlanta)(like where the braves are moving outside the perimeter is newt gingrich territory), too liberal, too gay, too black too black too black. there was a piece about what koonin is doing w/ the marketing, marketing it more towards ppl in atlanta - young ppl, black ppl - and a lot of that is fallout from that owner's letter and danny ferry but i also think is the right way to build a fanbase for this team, that basically the same way you build a legit dependable fanbase for the hawks is the same way you turn georgia purple.

Hawks putting OKC on blast rn

One thing I would not have predicted was Paul millsap 3 point shooter

I guess he really started last year but it's so rare that a dude suddenly starts making almost three 3s a game in his late 20s even though probably a dozen guys talk about it in training camp every year, goes along with the 15 pounds of muscle everyone puts on

In other words mostly fake

balls why doesnt anyone in atl like the hawks

havent read the balls wall of text yet but the kevin arnovitz article was really good imo

i liked it but didnt feel very satisfying as far as explaining why no one likes them

ibaka added a 3pt shot too thos hes a lil younger xp

good posts balls

ya

man charlotte got lit up, clevelands offense finally going?

yeah seems like they might be showing signs

oof parsons bailing the bulls out at the worst possible moment

Yah. Good d on that last play just forgot to secure the rebound. I disagreed with jvg they shoulda fouled earlier. 3-4 seconds not enough time imo.

Parsons didn't need to swipe at all on that other one Woulda been a junk shot anyway

shot usually comes a few secs before the end of the clock tho

josh smith took a three lol

you can tell smoove is really uncomfortable having to take that to the rack rather than shoot it

the knicks won! they've won three straight!

lol really

they have a better record than the wolves!
