- Something about the organization itself
- Some detail from the past new fans get wrong
- Something about a current player
Just put Jokic in the PnR and you’ll beat him every time
In that same breath, Jokic doesn’t play defense
People think the Bulls are pathetic but actually they’re one of the least embarrassing sports teams in Chicago
That Jalen Green is a ball hog.
Not so much the last year or two but before that people wouldn’t shut up about how the Orlando Magic make the 8 seed every year and get knocked out as a diss or something A) We have had the worst record in the NBA over the last ten years. We sure as hell don’t make the playoffs all the time B) I wish that was the case because it’s much better than averaging 25 wins each season.
That Kyrie Irving needs the ball in his hands and isnt a great off ball guard
Apparently people think that Gregg Popovich, of all people, is completely unaware that the team looks better with Tre Jones at PG than with Sochan.
Although half of our fanbase seems to think that too, so I don’t know if it counts for this question.
There are a lot of Hawks fans, but the Atlanta metro is a huge geographic area (when I was in college, we were considered Atlanta metro and we were 45 minutes away on a good day). Atlanta has a ton of people from other regions living in the city. I work in the middle of Atlanta on a team of 18 and only 2 of us are from GA. The rest are from NY, New Orleans, DC, Wisconsin, San Francisco, LA, and more. Add in that our airport having so many flights (and direct flights at that) it makes it so easy for other fans to just fly in for the night and come to a road game for their team. So when you see the arena half full of other fans, that’s why. But we have a lot of fans here. Hardcore Hawks fans.
I mean thats how chicago and new york are too. And they always sell out with hometown fans.I went to loyola which is at least 2 hours public transit or 45 minutes(sometimes more with traffic) in a car to get to united center. and that place is always sold out with bulls fans even tho they sucked terribly when i lived there. (It was the elton brand years)…you can say the same thing about airports. Both nyc and chi have multiple major airports
That the ownership group has never been willing to go into the tax. People fixate on the Harden situation from 12 years ago and act like that’s happened throughout the team’s history. But the ownership group added a billionaire since then, and not only have they paid the tax. They’ve paid the repeater tax. They had the highest payroll in the league at one point.
Starbucks is responsible for Sonics leaving because they got denied a permit at the Center. That’s actually true… I just wanted to drop it in here. Happy for OKC tho.
The Warriors just shoot threes. Couldn’t be more wrong. The Warriors success is based on defense. Turning the ball over and going out on runs. With the other team’s defense NOT set, they get open looks. Those threes you see during the dynasty are mostly on the break.
To be fair last year the led in three point attempts. The year previous they were 3rd and the year previous to that ylthey were 5th
Theyre certainly not ONLY a 3 point shooting team, but they demonstrably lead the league in attempts
Lakers: that Lebron is the best player on the team. He’s obviously the engine of the offense and still a beast. However, anyone who watched the playoffs can tell you that AD was the one opposing teams feared the most. Even when he wasn’t scoring 30, AD was manhandling the DPOY and had the defending champions scrambling for answers.
That we give a fuck if the media covers the lakers or any other major market more than us
Sixers chose Tobias Harris over Jimmy Butler
Moe Wagner is a goon with no skill. Also that he’s only still with the team because of nepotism.
Jaylen can’t dribble
