Official Game Thread: Hawks - HEAT

[WraithSentinel]

Just saw the highlights of the game over at the Hawks homepage on Espn. Their only highlight was Korver making a 3pt shot. Everything else was the Heat.

I had a couple friends that attended the game last night and it was really disturbing the "Lets go Heat" screaming in the building.

If you hate being out supported by other teams fans in your hall make a fan group.

I understand what they are ,we have the same thing in Europe and it is dealt with with extreme prejudice,bandwagon fans are the most hated group of them all .But in the end it is simply a different sport culture.

I don't think that's what Jmartvol was trying to do, simply stating that since you may not know due to probably never going to a game at Philips that the majority of basketball fans in Atlanta follow the superstars rather than the Hawks.

And yeah it's too bad we can't deal with fans of the other team in our building like that lol. We need someone to star the Peachtree Street Hooligans!

Some lady behind the Heat bench was getting on my nerves doing her stuoid dances every time LeBron so much as passed gas.Sent from my SCH-R950 using Tapatalk

Fighting is not everything propaganda and fanaticism is much more effective at garnering fans and on a long term at that ,fighting most of the time gets you less supporters because average people don't want to be involved in fights .You just make everything in Atlanta about Hawks ,have basketball programs in every school and give kids hawk jerseys.Play tough basketball and the rest will take care of it self.There doesn't have to fighting to take care of the bandwagon fans there just needs to be an atmosphere where they would be ashamed to root for another team.

A good tradition is for the fans to sing a team song while the teams are being introduced.It is easy to organize,everyone can participate and it pumps up the crowd.

Where the Negative Nancies at? Nothing bad to say about scoring at will on the back-to-back champs? The game last night clearly illustraed how our franchise is going nowhere, right?

We need JayBird to put on a hard hat with a GoPro strapped to it and have you go all around the stadium getting people excited :)

Awesome. Sad part is it wasn't his only flop of the game. Luckily i didn't see him get any calls so guess the refs are clued in...on Mario.
