Noah is nice! I really like his game and I remember last year in the Cavs series when everyone was calling him overrated. He has an unorthodox game and shot, but somehow is successful.

Dont recall anyone saying that. You always make idiotic statements like this. If EVERYONE was making that claim then it'd be easy for you to prove it, so lets see it.

The attendance by population is a horrible argument. Cleveland, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, and Orlando are cities that all have a less or equal population to Miami, yet if you look up their recent home games you'll see their attendance is right on par with Miami. Cleveland actually had more fans show up last night to watch them PLAY THE NETS than Miami had show up Tuesday to play the Jazz.
I assume your next argument will be 'Well Miami has a better night life, better things to do than sit in an arena for three hours' -- Guess what? Everyone has better things to do than drive to the arena, park amongst the hassle, pay for expensive tickets, and sit in arena and endure the numerous TV timeouts, but they still do it. It's called being a fan.

If you're a Miami fan how can you have the debate with yourself, "Welll the Jazz are one of the better teams this year and they only come to town once a season, should I go to the game or go something else I can do any other night of the week"

He has had a double double in every game so far and lead the league in rebounds. I remember when he got drafted and everyone criticized the Bulls for taking him 10th and said he would be terrible in the league. Dude has just gotten better and better every year.

Eh, it was poor rotation by Bosh. Not being a vagina. Nate Robinson got owned by Eddie House and the official .3 seconds after he checked in.

Gotta agree with Reggie Miller, AWFUL technical on Robinson.

I don't think there's any chance in hell that Miami beats Boston in the playoffs.

You made my argument for me. I said there are better things to do in Miami, and there are. You list Salt Lake, Minneapolis and Cleveland as your point? Those are three cities where there isn't much to do, and basketball is played in the winter when people are stuck in their houses in those cities. Guess what, in the middle of December you can still be outside doing stuff.

And how can you say that population isn't a factor? Of course it is.

Look at the cities where the NBA is played and you go to Miami and New Orleans and those are the only two that you say, if I were in that city during a home stand I don't even consider going to a game.

That's what I'm saying, maybe they aren't as big of "fans". And there is a reason for that. Of course someone living in Cleveland in December is going to be a much better "fan" than someone in Miami in December.

BTW, Miami was 15th in the NBA in attendance last year, which is pretty impressive for how bad of a team as they had. That's actually a pretty impressive showing by their "fans".

And please don't say that every city has better things to do. Have you ever been to Miami? They have great music, clubs, art, food, celebrities everywhere, beach, shopping, fashion. It's nothing like Cleveland and I'm sorry if you think you can compare the two.

Exactly. WTF is there to do at Miami during the night time anyway?

Clubbing? Clubbing is always there for the whole year. The NBA season is not.

The beach? Have fun swimming in the dark.

Yes, I have been to Miami. Everybody always has something better to do than go to a NBA game. People in cold weather cities cant go to clubs in December? Gimme a break. Miami is a transient city, there are very few Miami "fans" in that city.

Clubs was just one of the things I mentioned, and please don't tell me that going to the clubs in Miami is the same as Cleveland or Salt Lake City. You do understand there is a difference right?

I don't even know how this is debateable. Miami has more to offer than many other cities and that is why fans probably don't show as much support.

Yes, it has more to offer. But being a fan would typically mean going to the game would be at the very top of the list. Clearly that isnt the case, because Miami doesnt have nay fans...

Please tell us what better things there are to do in Miami at night time instead of watching your "team" play.
