He'll be throwing lob passes to Josh Childress.

Its determined by paid in attendance. I am assuming that there are alot of season ticket holders who dont go to alot of games. Means basically the same to the owner and frontoffice from a financial standpoint.

Man, i still think that we're not giving the brawl enough credit. the PR people could have gotten scared, and therefore the crowd has been sterilized to prevent anything like that from happening again. Some of that can be attributed to those guys who buy the tickets just to keep he sellout streak alive.

or maybe the crowd was just taking on the personality of its coach.

Why shouldn't he? I mean Jordan got paid 30 million dollars one year I think.

But LeBron must be frustrated. Cavs GM can't build around the guy except trade for OVERPAID pieces to make LeBron happy. Mo Williams and Wally comes to mind. Heck, Big Ben can go in that list too. 15 mil for a bench guy....NICE!

I go to a lot of games and there were a lot of empty seats last year when we played the less exciting teams. There is a rumor that the Palace buys its own tickets to keep the sellout streak alive.

Nobody thinks about the brawl anymore. Only side effect I have noticed is they confiscate the cap from you pop if you buy a bottle. Pistons have lost some popularity over the past 3 years and they are in direct competition with the Red Wings for the fringe fans. In a tight economy these things are only magnified. The Red Wings local popularity has skyrocketted after their recent championship. You know these pre-season Piston games that are not being televised - its because they are showing the Wings games instead, at least that was the case last Sunday.
