And their teams also win championships more often than Philadelphia sports teams do. When you compare all the teams from their respective cities, Boston and Chicago haven't been tested the way Philadelphia sports fans have been.
Since when does New York take credit for a former New Jersey team?
That team is still in the New York Market Area.

You expect New Yorkers to go to New Jersey to watch a New Jersey team?
Yep, just like fans in South Jersey go across the bridge to Philly. Not to mention you guys have much better mass transit options than we they do downstate so that's not really an excuse for New Yorkers.

Looks like a lameduck season to me, since they moved to Brooklyn.
But a couple of posts ago you were so quick to pull out the attendance stats. I guess using the stats are not as fun when it's used against a New York area team.

It's doesn't matter, they are still part of the New York City market. There is no getting around that basic fact. If you are going to say Philly doesn't support their NBA team than you have to admit that people in the NYC don't support their NBA team also.
Couldn't that have been the case for the 76ers poor attendance when Ed Snider was the owner?
Ed Snider is probably one of the better owners in sports.
Look at the Flyers.
