You are taking this in the wrong direction. Attendance has nothing to do with it. Of course attendance goes up if you are winning. Everyone wants to see a winning team. You missed my point though.
My point is that we have been saying Detroit is going to go far for a few years now, and now that they have, you are calling us bandwagoners. In reality, the bandwagon is circling around the Heat this year if you have not noticed, just like it did around the Lakers last year.

Not quite. A lot of people are still picking the Pistons to win the East and maybe even the Finals. I'm not sure what will happen if Shaq is not at 100%, or even 80%. That was fine against the Ultimate Posers (Wizards), but not against the Pistons.

Of course there is bandwagoners. Actually, having someone bandwagon on your home team is kind of annoying. I think the point is supporting your home sports team is big in Michigan. Being called a bandwagoner is kinda annoying when your team wins big while you've been rooting for them for better or for worse. Also, the balance and lack of meme superstars make this a team people are proud of, ecspecially when they played the incarnation of a superstar winning team last year. I hated sudden Lakers lovers more than anything, and damn it was nice to rub it in their face Originally posted by Davo:
The Tigers, the team that Detroit loves so much, is currently 26th out of 30 teams in attendance this year.
Good point...ahhh..It's rigged.
And did I miss a post on Game 5 Pacers and Pistons?!! That was awesome. There was something like a 14 point unanswered streak at the start of the 3rd.

Pistons will win tonight, period! This is the game that champs are supposed to win and they will. I will say this about the Pacers, they've really stepped up this year w/o their defensive leader and Coach Carlisle deserved "coach of the year"  One thing that I will say is the Pacers should look at what they did w/o Artest and ask themselves is he really worth the headach and trade him, what do you guys thing  Even though he doesn't play football he has "Raider player" written all over him! Maybe he could be a TE, seeing they had a player nicknamed "Stork" back in the day. With Reggie leaving and the fact that they've done what they've done with what they got, its time to make the right moves and get that mental case off of the team. Sorry if this rubs you Pacer fans the wrong way, but he did go into the stands and has had anger management in the past. Lets keep this rivalery on the court for years to come, just like we had w/ the Bulls/Celtics back in the day

Awesome game tonight. It's a pity to see Miller leave, but the man is getting old. He's really a great figure for the NBA and I hope to see him in the Hall of Fame. A gentleman and a battler, he was truly an amazing player to the very end.
In regards to the Pistons, they beat a team that wasn't well-matched to their abilities. I am a hardcore Piston fan, but I honestly believe they need to step-up and play 'championship basketball' to match Miami. The Pistons are a very motivated-based team. Their runs are based on confidence; when the confidence is down the team collapses. It'll be a very intersting match-up with the Heat.
Man, Spurs need to finish off the Sonics already.

The Spurs got lucky and beat Phoenix at their own game (don't get me wrong, I still think SA is the better team). Now I wonder if PHX can grab one in San Antonio.
If they're actually as worried about Shaq as they're showing, then Miami may have a more difficult time than previously thought. If not, then they're engaging in great propaganda.
There isn't a single Finals matchup that isn't intriguing though. I have to admit Suns-Pistons would be the most interesting.
