You find the current team boring to watch? I know they like to jack it but in the NZ game I saw a lot of good ball movement, the extra pass, (Ok, so it wasn't coming from Farley ) and don't mind seeing the 3 jacked up in that situation. The higher the score the better entertainment value for mine.
Meanwhile nowdays when I go to sit down to watch an NBA game I fall to sleap with all the isolations, bricked jumpshots, endless time-outs, 24 second half court sets.
Name one team going around anywhere in the world right now that you would like to see the Sixers model themselves on. Also, do you really believe it's the style of game turning people away, (only in the last two years as well, but it was fine from 98 to 2k2)?
I actually used the theory of the 25% drop off in crowds last year, used some estimating on the ticket sales and am guessing the "Try Five" option only would have sold 150 tickets at best and could only come up with 4000 seats as a best case occurrence. My guess is the crowd would be around 3400 or so. Who's going to buy walk-up tickets at $30 each?
