I know. This is very shocking. I used to laugh at the Atlanta Hawks crowds, but this puts them to shame. Wow, what on earth has happened to my Sixers?

What do we expect? They are very dull. A far cry from Moses Malone, Erving and company huh. We need some scorers. It has been pathetic since 2001 atleast.

Septa strike is impacting attendance. No one from inner city can get to game. It may not be much but it has to cost the team a couple of thousand fans.

Seriously, yeah Septa, that accounts for a fraction of missing fans..but the real reason is our SUCKING. I mean, the Atlanta Hawks have surpassed us in viability. We haven't won a playoff series since 2003.

2003!!

Think about where you were and what you were doing in 2003 and that's the last time the Sixers won ANYTHING.

F them.

76ers logo makeover? Sorry, can't polish a turd!!

what makes it sucky is seeing these small crowds you know you aren't likely to have a positive arena experience. I would rather wait until more people start to show up and there's some excitement in the building. But if everyone does that, then no one will ever show up. I went to some very exciting games last year, and the electricity was minimal no matter what. I hope a buzz starts to pick up. The sixers need to do themselves some favors though. They need to go on a run, beat some solid teams, and form an identity fans can depend on. If they can depend on hustle on defense, some nice fastbreak play, and a few dunks, they will start to come around.
