So let me guess you just watch Miami vs Lakers games? do you really only follow 4 teams? Miami, Boston, LAC and OKC? and who ever is the top 4 teams is all that matters? just following the super stars? I know to some the only teams that matter are the top 4 or 6 and nobody cares about the rest. Like I said Milwaukee is only 2.1 Million strong not 20 Million like NYC or 13 Million like LA or 10 Million like Chicago or 6.5 like Dallas but only 5.7 million in the entire state. So yeah we don't have a lot of fans on CDF or even in the NBA, what are we supposed to do? crawl away and just be glad we aren't Seattle or San Diego or Tampa or St Louis or B'more or Pittsburgh or Cincy or Kansas City or Las Vegas or San Jose or Columbus or Austin or Nashville and just be happy we have a NBA team and shut up?
Look I get it, it's all Lebron and Kobe on NBA.COM and ESPN and Fox Sports and who ever is the NBA champs whether it's Miami or Boston or LA or PHX or San Antonio those fans show up in droves at the Bradley center and out number the Bucks fans. Do you mean to tell me thousands of OKC, Miami, Boston, Lakers and now Clipper fans exists in Milwaukee enough to out number the Bucks fans?
The answer is No of course not, the truth is most including LAC, Miami, Boston, Chicago and Lakers fans are band wagon fans just like the Bucks fans in Milwaukee.
So I don't smack my self in the back whenever the Bucks win I high five myself whenever the Bucks win and I think it's a great day whenever the Bucks win, I don't root for the player like most 99% of NBA fans do! I root for the team, the city and the fact their are a lot bigger cities that don't have a NBA like Milwaukee does. Until 1992 Milwaukee was the winning-est team in NBA history so from 1969-1992 there wasn't a team that had a higher winning percentage than the Bucks. So what do you want? Bucks fans from 1969 until 1992 to show pride then go away? 1992-Currently the Bucks have completely sucked except for 2001 Eastern Conference finals and some 5-8 seeds.
When My teams win I am stoked and when they lose I am pissed! My enthusiasm doesn't go up and down whether my team is relevant or people care nationally.
If you have that attitude about the Bucks then I suspect you don't watch any teams with double digit losses just follow the bandwagon. Maybe I should do the same, set my email preferences to when the Bucks make the NBA Finals then I should pay attention to my team because then other people might care and think we are relevant because the only teams that matter in the NBA are THE TOP 4!
This is the problem of the NBA, too many fans like you. Milwaukee gets one game on National TV a year and I am glad we get that. Unlike you I enjoy watching all team like a Cleveland -vs- Washington Game. You mean to tell me if it was Bucks -vs- Pacers you wouldn't watch because there is no Lebron or Kobe?
If that is the case let's just get rid of all the NBA teams except Chi, LA, LAC, NYK, BKN and what ever team lebron and Durant are on because that is all that matters.
I understand I am on an island about this issue, but I would rather watch a match up between a 8 and 9 seed to see who get's into the playoffs than Lebron -vs- you name it, it doesn't matter to me team as long as it's lebron or Kobe or Durant.
