View Full Version : Who Has The WORST Fans In The NBA?
Mr.Bottomtooth

Gotta be the Sonics. I think Game 6 WCSemi-Finals of '05:
IN THE GAME: Bruce is guarding Ray Allen.
FANS: BOOOOO!!!!!!
------------------
IN THE GAME: Duncan gets hurt with I think his ankle and needs help getting up.
FANS: YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
------------------
Enough said. Who cheers when someone is hurt? You know in your mind this is a good thing because then you have a better chance at winning but then they got injured so you feel sympathy for the player. If you yell and cheer it out loud and since you didn't show you feel bad and that you are even HAPPY that the player got injured that shows that you have no respect and you are barely a fan at all.

If the Nets didn't play in a swamp with one bus line and nothing else, they'd sell out all the time. Newark missed the boat not funding an downtown arena on top of a subway station.

Exactly. I'm not sure how this makes them "bad fans", except in some sort of obscure ethical sense. Fans should want their team to win, yes?

I don't think they could afford it with the forces that be pulling the team into Brooklyn. They just couldn't compete. It's too bad - joining with the Devils couldn't have been too hard, but moving into an area with a better natural fanbase is much smarter for the team, anyway.

1. Atlanta: ATL is such a good metropolitan city, I don't understand why they never fill in the stadium.
2. New Orleans: I used to live in N.O. before the Hornets moved there. It's just not condusive to a sports team. It's just not a sports town. Natives of New Orleans just don't care much about sports.
3. Lakers: the definition of a fairweather sports town, and many LA fans didn't even grow up in LA or grow up as Lakers fans.
4. Seattle: they just really don't care either.
5. NJ Nets: they have some really great loyal fans, but despite their success, they still can't get consistent support from the community.
Honorable mention:
Toronto: still not sure if it can consistently keep interest in the city, as hockey will always be king, but not sure if it's fair to say it's a bad town just yet.
Detroit/Philly/Knicks/Celtics: fanatic fans, but just too beligerant and obnoxious ... ironically, that makes them among the best fans as well.

yeah that's going way too far, these guys are just playing basketball to entertain the fans, and they cheer when someone is injured.. :depressed . Man here in sac, we cheer when an injured opponent gets up, even when they just tweak something. Sometimes it can get too friendly in ARCO.... :smokin

Atlanta, New Orleans, Miami, and Houston are all mediocre sports towns.
The only losing team they will halfway support is an NFL franchise.

I second Houston as a bad sports town. They've been fortunate enough in recent years that at least one of the teams has been having a decent enough year that they can treat the others as red headed step children. Having three sports also means that the sports talking heads can focus endlessly on off seasons rather than on how shitty the teams are doing. So this past spring when the Rockets were in the toilet it was all about the Astros. "Berkman's back! Will the Rocket resign?" Then when the Stros started sucking it was all about the Texans. "#1 Pick! Will this be the turnaround year?" And after that fiasco they media is starting to pimp the upcoming Rockets season. "McGrady's rested! Will Yao return to form?"
And I'm also with the Seattle haters, not only for the previously mentioned incidents, but for the brutal fish hook that Danny Fortson gave Manu (possibly in the same game Duncan went down.)

Seattle and Denver are up there with Dallas in the sorest losers and excuse makers department.

I know hockey will always be king there, but the Raptors have a very young fan base that, when given fifteen years to mature and garner financial purchasing power will make them a very strong team in terms of tickets sales and merchandise purchases.

well booing Finley was pretty fuckin' sorry...a guy who played his heart out for the Mavs back when all the bandwagoners in Dallas were Lakers fans. But, all the true Mavs fans who cheered the team on when they were winning 15 games a year weren't involved in booing Finley...and it's too bad the sorry fairweather assholes that make up 90% of Mavs fans nowadays did.

not me. i dont boo anybody except for Artest and Shaq for never being humble like he claims to be. :rolleyes i never booed Finley or Nash. they never talk bad about the team after they leave so they deserve to get cheered. they won us many games. i'll be the first to admit i didnt follow the Mavs AS CLOSELY as i do now, before Cuban came along when they sucked. but i did follow them somewhat and never jumped to another team.

That was just an embarassment. When the Mavs fans booed Finley, that was just classless and ignorance. Why you fans of a team boo a player who played so many years for them and was always one of the best players on the team, at times the best player on the team??? It just doesn't make sense to me. And to Mavs fans, don't pull that bullshit card that they only booed Finley because he returned as a Spur, that's still pathetic.
That's like Allen Iverson getting traded to the Celtics and as he comes back to play the Sixers, the Sixers fans boo him. I'm telling you right now that wouldn't happen.

If that is the game I recall...... the place was half empty when the game started.... NC has the same problem..
By the second quarter it was pretty full and like a library.......... It got a bit louder the last few mins but not like Arco......
Many Warrior games are like that to... I lthink it is becuase they know what is probably going to happen so they don't want to get to hyped up for the big let down.........

The one thing I hate about the rich assholes in the expensive seats is that they act like they're to good to stand up and cheer. Other than that Seattle would be up there and Atlanta for not even giving a shit about their team. Laker fans are up their too. Most of those piece of shit band-wagoners aren't even from LA and they act like they've been fans since they were born. Ready to jump ship when the clippers make the playoffs.

I live in Dallas, and I've been going to Mavs games since Dick Motta was coaching, and I've proven over and over that I know more about the Mavericks than most self-proclaimed Mavericks fans. Dallas fans in general are poor fans and only support a winner, but act like they've been there all along. They also feel the need to take issue when anyone dares to have an opinion they don't like.

By your evidence, it sounds like the fans wanted new management. Given their history, I'm not sure how anyone can blame them. The fans deserve some blame for running off Mo, but not for the dismal underperformance of what was the biggest payroll and longest rap sheet in basketball without so much as a Finals trip to show for it.

Miami doesn't have bad fans, they just have bandwagon fans like most cities. There are very few cities that follow their teams (sellouts, etc.) when the team is not doing well. Dallas is a big time bandwagon city. No one went the Mav games back when they sucked.

I think NJ. They always have a decent team, yet don't come close to filling their arena.
I agree with this, having gone to a lot of games to see the Mavs/Rockets and some others play in MSG and the Wasteland, I mean, the Meadowlands. On the ride out there to NJ from NYC, I'd always chat with everyone else going to the game...everyone else going to the game to root for the visiting team! As bad as the Knicks are, they will always be more popular until playoff time. Having lived in Brooklyn, I can totally see the nets relocating and selling out every game in downtown Brooklyn.

Not to mention as bad as it might hurt KG would have been dealt for some top picks and young talant already.
They're more worried about hurting Kevin's feelings and makeing sure he goes to a place he has a chance to win a ring then actually improving the organizatin's chances.

Philly fans lost me when they continually booed Mike Schmidt despite his HOF accomplishments. He would have been better suited playing for a team like the Dodgers where he would have been more appreciated
Larry Bowa, however, could do no wrong despite his inferior talent, but hard working style of play.
Philly is a blue collar town. Schmidt just couldn't mesh with the type of fans who prefer those players. Doesn't make it right, though.

Get real, dude. You may be a Wolves fan, but you're obviously not residing in Minnesota are you? The true NBA fans in this state have nothing but disdain for McHale, and want him out of the FO immediately. The biggest problem with Minnesota is that it has proven not to be an NBA venue. This is more of a Vikings town than it is for the Timberwolves. Don't mistake apathy for fans burying their head in the sand. Most people in Minnesota just don't care for the Wolves. Shit, Gopher basketball and hockey have a larger following than the Wolves. Garnett may be the most underappreciated athlete this state has ever seen.
I'm no fan of Kevin McHale. His bungling of draft picks over the years has crippled this team to the point where they have no chance of rebuilding around Garnett. I'm beginning to think that Garnett should be moved, but only if the right deal came along. I'm not in favor of just giving him away like the Lakers did Shaquille O'Neal.
As much as I supported Flip Saunders, it was time for him to go as he clearly lost control of his team. McHale, however, should have been fired right along with him. As much blame as McHale gets, Glen Taylor deserves more for allowing the bozo to retain his job and run the team further into the ground.

IMHO, good fans are those who are with their teams in the down years, to a reasonable extent, and are exceptional when the team is doing well. Being too fanatical while the team in question sucks, is not being a 'good fan' it is being desperate, because if a franchise in pro sports doesn't ever bother putting a good product on the playing field but still get bailed out by the fans, the fans are just being stupid, and counter productive.
I don't know about every team in the NBA, but here are my impressions:
Sacremento: Great fans. Exceptionally loyal, but not to the point of insanity. Great when the Kings were great, attended when the team floundered. However, I do recognize that Sacremento is both a relitively small market team and a 1 sport town.
San Antonio: Generally knowledgeable and well mannered fans. Not the loudest. I don't know how Spurs fans were, pre-Duncan, but I assume there was good attendence, at least. Again, I recognize that you are a small market (relitively), have had lots of winning lately, and are pretty much a 1 sport town (please correct me if I am wrong on any of these points... these are impressions, not stone cold facts).
Miami: I say this with no malace directed towards any members of the Heat francise or organization on any leval... as they sure have tried and tried and tried over the years... Miami fans are putrid... plain and simple. You suck, hard. You have a huge market, yet, unless they win the title, nobody shows up. Nobody ever showed up, even when they were good in the 90's and 2000's before the title. That was even when they had that wonderful rivalry with the Knicks... Sad sad sad showing by you fans... and then you bandwagon when you finaly go all the way? Not to mention that, as fans, you brought absolutly nothing special to the table... It would have been better that the few loyal fans they had were the only ones allowed to join in the festivities of the championship... all five of them. Yet, there is still 1 group even worse than you... read on...
Millwakee: Good fans. Not overly loyal, but you bring in a good solid croud. When you do well, generally you give more response. I feel bad that Mason and Karl ruined everything the Bucks had going for them durring the Big Three days...
Detroit: Eh... weird fans. On the one hand, from 2002 to 2005, we showed something special, and brought something to the table not seen before: a college like atmosphere. I think we also have the record for highest attendence, when we had to play in the Silverdome, durring the Pistons' rise to glory in the 80's. However, in the 'teal years', there was a very poor showing from the fans. While I admit there was not that much to celebrate, to be in the playoffs with well over 50 wins, with dynamic superstar leading the way... to not even fill half the arena (de facto, not ticket sales) is sad sad sad. Granted, (no pun intended) teal/maroon sucked ferociously, and the Pistons realistically had no shot, because of the very stroing Eastern Conference, and because Detroit is a 4 sport town, with college, and at the time, some very good RedWing teams, the fact is, the Metro Detroit area is a big market, and I am kind of disgusted with how many fans behaved in the 90's. I can't speak for anything that happened in the 80's. Also, with respect for the Brawl, I still conted that what happened was no different than what would have happened in other cities: Cleveland, or Phili etc... it was a [un]lucky hit on a volitile player in a sport where fans are very close to the action. I still contend that, under the circumstances, the fans should be credited for not getting alot worse (which it easily could have).
Indiana: Good melo croud. You are basketball savvy, but you prefer the non-pro versions of basketball. You are as consistant as Your team. That is a compliment in its own right. However, You have become a bit too cynical in recent years (and perhaps, rightfully so) and don't even show up to playoff series in force, unless it is after the second round. I can't say I blame you, but the playoffs are the playoffs, and they could at any time pull a Knicks 1999, and make it to the Finals, so I am a little dissapointed that you don't support your team a little more. Every move the Pacers have made was with winning in mind (for the most part) and I think you fans should support them more.
Utah: You guys don't get enough credit. Small market, 1 pro sport team, nothing to do, yet you fans were Sacremento-like before Sacremento [read: LOUD LOUD LOUD], and you still support your very medeocre team very well. More props to you Utah fans...
Portland: Nice people, but WAY too loyal. You fans needed to boycott this team 6 years ago. What was happening there WAY overstepped 'bad product on the field' barrier... these guys were a disgrace. Members of this team are still causing problems well after the dissassembly, and the 'Jailblazers' are still the Jailblazers. And now they don't even make the playoffs.
Knicks: Loyal to the last. You love Your Knicks. I'll give you that. You stopped comming en masse when the Knicks went downhill, but you didn't do it well enough, fast enough. You want nothing more than for their basketball team to equal Your baseball teams. Yet, you fans can't catch a break. While not as overly loyal as the Blazer fans, you guys are too loyal, and really should have done a better job of sending a message to the dumbass owner that his moves sucked.
New Jersey: Sorry guys, you guys are probably worse than Heat guys. You STILL DIDN'T SHOW UP AFTER THE TEAM WAS A LAGIT CONTENDER!!! WHAT THE HELL? Is New Jersy so against basketball that you will never support your team? Help me out here: what was your attendence for Devils' games? Were they as sucky? I feel bad for those who did attend and never got to bask in the glory of a championship in an empty stadium. The fact is, you fans don't deserve a team, and I hope the door hits you on their way out back to New York. You are the worst.
Houston: Fans seem average to me. You arn't bad fans by any stretch of the immagination, but your support for your team lacks anything special to mention about.
Dallas: I will give you slack. Here is why: Almost every other team on this list has had SOME KIND of history to fall back on. The Kings were once a very sucessful Royals francise. Nets and Pacers had their ABA glory days, and recent trips to the Finals. Before Cuban, the Mavs had nothing but bad managment. Why support a team that put a bad product on the field without 1 iota of history to fall back on? Dallas fans have been good since Cuban. The test will be that when the Mavs fall back to medeocrity (it will happen eventually, sorry Dallas fans, that is life) how will the fanbase respond? Will it be a proper response (there should be support, esp if there is hope, but not complete desertion or insane loyalty). On another note, Dallas fans don't seem to bring anything special to the table while the Mavs have been good. Not bad, just nothing special, like say, Detroit, Sacremento, or Utah.
Golden State: Too loyal. This francise has needed a kick in the but for over a decade, and you fans just keep flushing your money down the toilet.
L.A.: Like Doc Rivers said about Cubs fans cheering for the White Sox, calling them 'tranSoxuals'; while the overly loyal Clipper fans finally got a payoff, the Laker fans were just terrible, jumping the fence. I find the majority of the people who are actualy at Laker games are overly aarogant (heh, you might have a right to be) and just there as status symbols. I feel bad for the LA community who never get to go to games on a regular basis because of crazy prices: I am sure they would be a lot better than the 'come late, leave early' crowd the Lakers always get. Shame on you, Laker ticket holders: You are a disgrace.
Phily: Wow, you guys are HARSH. I like it, to a point. You are knowledgeable and passionate. But you guys have to go the other way a little: Show some patients SOMETIMES.
Boston: Great fans. You are spoiled from history, but you guys generaly show up in proper numbers when the team struggles, and show up big when the team shows promse. I am so sorry that history has completely deserted you with the deaths... You are great fans.
Cleveland: Not much history, except bad, until now, so you are in a similar boat as Dallas, at around the time Cuban was in his second year. I will withold judgement for now.
Toronto: You were dealt a crappy hand, and you responded in kind. You had some good years early, you responded with some very good crouds. Show me something unique when Bosh starts tearing up your division, and you get a medal for being great fans.
Chicago: Ahh, Bulls fans: You love da Bulls. You love them so. I really have nothing bad to say about you. You have shown almost perfect response to the changing situations. Perhaps a little too loyal durring the horrible era post Jordan (Brand, Floyd, Artest/Brand, Curry, Chandler) and not showing me anything special durring the dynesty. A good example of fans in a big market, with room for improvement.
Sorry for not breaking down the other cities. I just don't know enough about you.

Get real, dude. You may be a Wolves fan, but you're obviously not residing in Minnesota are you? The true NBA fans in this state have nothing but disdain for McHale, and want him out of the FO immediately. The biggest problem with Minnesota is that it has proven not to be an NBA venue. This is more of a Vikings town than it is for the Timberwolves. Don't mistake apathy for fans burying their head in the sand. Most people in Minnesota just don't care for the Wolves. Shit, Gopher basketball and hockey have a larger following than the Wolves. Garnett may be the most underappreciated athlete this state has ever seen.
I'm no fan of Kevin McHale. His bungling of draft picks over the years has crippled this team to the point where they have no chance of rebuilding around Garnett. I'm beginning to think that Garnett should be moved, but only if the right deal came along. I'm not in favor of just giving him away like the Lakers did Shaquille O'Neal.
As much as I supported Flip Saunders, it was time for him to go as he clearly lost control of his team. McHale, however, should have been fired right along with him. As much blame as McHale gets, Glen Taylor deserves more for allowing the bozo to retain his job and run the team further into the ground.
hahah, ya got me there. Nope i don't live in Minnesota. I live 7 miles outside the border. I gues you pwned me there, eh?
You a perfect example of my view on MN sports fans. You still continue to kiss Flip's ass in Piston threads when it was obviosly time for him to leave. To Detroit fans, it may not be time for him to leave there, but it will be. Good knowledgable fans don't need it to obvious. Folks here may or may not remember my "NBA title or bust" rant in '04 where i either wanted it all or a complete failure so Flip would have to be canned. Sure, jump on the "Fire Mac" bandwagon now, but where were you when it actually would have made a difference? KG's career will never include a ring in MN unless its as a role player in a Greg Oden led championship or something of that caliber. A Danny Ainge type GM even as few as in '03 would have had a championship caliber team right now with at least SOME halfass draft picks.
Can you imagine have quality draft picks for the last decade where we would be?
Anyone that's STILL slightly opposed to dealing KG falls into this category.
The team would be much better off had Kev and Flip both been fired years ago and KG traded for some quality prospects and high picks.
Hell, we had oppurtunities to deal KG before to chicago with their high picks and young'uns and we everyone, i'm assuming you also, were opposed to that idea.
What makes you think we'll get a better deal as he gets older and MN more desparate? I'm not saying that this should have been done five years ago, but after the Spree and Sam thing fell apart, did you think we'd win/will win right now with a bunch of kids?
I would have taken expiring contracts and high picks and also clearing out other bad contracts for KG. I'm sorry if he'd feel bad or get stuck on a really crappy team but the franchise is more important then "the franchise"
Suck for a year or two and be right back in the mix.
