    No pointy elbows or knobby knees. Otherwise, I'm flexible.

    did you actually notice that the lower bowl was empty at tip off, well before the choke job happened? i don't blame them for not showing up in game 6 because neither did the fans.

    it was empty, and it was very noticeable

    Mike Breen even mentioned how empty it was to start the game and numerous people have mentioned how embarrassing it was

    lol yes i'm making up that there were too many empty seats because i'm pushing an empty seat agenda somehow related to desirable characteristics of a new owner. are you trying to tell me you saw every seat full? that's making stuff up. it was maybe 50% at best from tip off to the second quarter. for the biggest game of the year at home, and an elimination game on top of that. meanwhile other teams are at 100% attendance with everyone wearing the the team colored shirts during the pregame show.

    im specifically talking about game 6 bc thats what was brought up. and no 50% is false. did you even go to that game. im assuming youll just say yes just so you can support this claim

    it was obvious to see tho

    the game is on YouTube if u want to go and see how empty it was again

    it was incredibly embarrassing, there were multiple rows that didn't have a single person in them or just like 3 or 4 people

    Mike Breen's quote at the beginning of the game: A late arriving crowd here at the Toyota Center. It's a 7 p.m. start, but the crowd is late to get here.

    He recognized how embarrassingly empty that place was.

    sat in the club section seats that is opposite of what is shown on tv. as far as game 6 i didn't notice it to be completely embarrassing and 50% that is being claimed. what took place on the court was actually what was completely embarrassing

    what sucks is those seats may be empty but the private areas for the club sections associated with those are packed

    50% in the lower bowl is a very fair claim, and embarrassing is the only way I can think to describe it

    I can't recall any other playoff team having an arena that empty at tip off

    the embarrassment started with the fans not showing up, and then continued with the team not showing up

    what's your point? yes we're talking about game 6. lower bowl had so many empty seats that the tv guys mentioned it. you can say there was more people there, but its just not true.

    here. look for yourself. clearly less than 50% at tipoff:



    is that comparable to other teams home playoff games? no. sadly. not even close. i'm really not sure why you're set on defending the toyota center attendance for game 6.

    why do you ask if i was there? bringing up my attendance instead of discussing toyota center attendance is responding to one argument by creating a new one. that's called a red herring fallacy, and its a type of false logic. you might have liked if i said i wasn't there so you could attempt to blame hundreds of empty seats on my absence, but that's another false logic called an ad hominem response, which is when you attack the arguer (me) instead of the argument (empty seats).

    why do i ask bc seeing the first 3 rows on tv doesn't give you valid support for a 50% claim. you basically have no idea what the inside looks like outside of that.

    exactly my point. i was embarrassed by those empty seats before the game even started. i think part of this is how, and to whom the seats are sold... which is what started this whole conversation... i just want an owner who will sell tickets to fans who will show up early... or at least show up at all.

    so you're saying thats exactly how other arenas looked in the playoffs? are you saying that's what every game looks like on tv?
