I think you're on to something there, Clutch. The way the refs are making calls against us, it's like they're part of the marketing hype. That's the same hype that made news outlets wait to publicize Lin's meniscus tear until the Knicks playoff ticket purchase window had closed. It all makes me wonder if the NBA is devolving into some sort of rigged, staged, WWE-style "entertainment."
It's all about the stars and markets. No one wants to watch a playoffs commercial with Lowry, Scola or K-Mart, I understand that and don't blame them.
Well, to be fair, our arena has a lower capacity compared to most others. I would like to see a statistic for the percentage of fans come to the game. For example, on a nightly basis, which stadiums are filled to the highest percentage of their capacity? FWIW, I still think the Rockets would be near the bottom of that list, too.
