    But it is. And I say that as someone that's been to game for many years. Are TV ratings? Meh. Our attendance hasn't been in the top 5 ever. In the NBA, a big market is LA, NY, MIA, and CHI. DAL, HOU, BOS, PHI, and TOR are considered mid sized. Everyone else is small market 

    If this was college football, Atlanta is the epicenter 

    Cool, I’ve been going to Hawks games since the early 80s at The Omni. Hawks “in person” crowds have long been inconsistent. Population and TV nimbers don’t lie though, I’ve supplied them and feel free to look up more to counter the fact that ATL is a Top 10 NBA market. Note: you won’t find any. But you might be surprised to find that during playoffs, ATL market nimbers even jump into Top 5 NBA market territory. Koonin, a TV marketing guy, knows and shouts this 😉

    It's a small Basketball market. 

    No it’s not, this is a myth, you didn’t check out the link I posted. Here it is again, broken down into large/medium/small markets with exact and specific nimbers. ATL is a large NBA market, in the Top 10. I’ve heard Koonin, being a TV industry guy extremely versed in markets, go on a rant about this very subject on 92.9 on a couple of occasions:

    So where has Camp been (asked a bewildered @Kg01)?

    I honestly needed a break. Not from the board, but from the NBA. That first few weeks of the season watching the NBA turn into Rugby and ball handling craftsman like Trae not getting any calls, forget the foul hunting took a lot of joy out of the game for me. It was ugly. I watched Trae get decked a few times to open the season (with no call) and my blood was boiling. But about 10 games in, I took a few games off....completely. First time in maybe 6 years I didn't watch back to back games. I've popped in back and forth but between the muscled up play in response to the lighter ref whistle and the way we're losing games, I took some time off. I'm not necessarily back now and I am following things but this was a tough first 1/4 of the season to watch.

     

    Same here, identical 👏
