Affect in your instance was incorrect.

I figured Cleveland's attendance numbers would slide, but didn't expect them to fall that far. They are far from unwatchable.

I expected them to slide but you are right not that far. It shows that Cavs fans are fair weather fans. The Cavs have a very exciting players in Irving,Gee,TT and not only do they not show up they root for them to lose.

"have very exciting players"

"a" is singular

Cavs rank 20th in the league in home attendance and 28th in % capacity of home games. I hate to say I told you so...

It shouldn't be surprising, but there are a few posters on here that would be surprised based on conversations last year.

In a poor city, when there is more than 8 home games...

I expected season tickets to go down this year, after last season. The future seemed bleak last season. I belive season tickets will go up next year.

Warriors,Bobcats,Raptors,Wizards and Timerwolves are bad professional teams and are out drawing the Cavs.

He doesn't have to ban me, I don't think I have even opened a Cavs thread this year. I'm not going to continue to post about it either, I said last year the attendance would be down this year and last year's attendance was due to when season tickets had to be purchased. There isn't any debate to that now, or there shouldn't be.

I am on a phone so I won't open the link, but I can list shitty teams that draw ok as well. Wtf is your point? Have I ever said that attendance would not be down? The answer....NO. I don't know what cavs fan banged your gf/bf, but get a fucking life dude. Your sauce is getting weaker by the day. I mean, before....you used to fight back, now you just whine about mods and report posts like a little bitch.

Step it up....you are better than that.

See that is the thing. Hypocritecats20 wouldn't let there be ANY debate on it. If he would have let it be debated out especially after last years discussion and the agreement from those involved to wait until next season to discuss it there wouldn't have been any problems. But no when this year came he banned it from being talked about.
