Re: Best/Worst fanbases?

The Bulls obviously have my vote as the best fanbase. We travel extremely well own a 610 game sellout streak that ran from 1987-2000 and only came 311 tickets short of selling out the game it ended on. Since 2001 the Bulls have only been out of the top 5 in attendance 1 time and that was the 2001-02 season after they traded away Elton Brand and Ron Artest to make way for Eddy Curry and Tyson Chandler. The following year we were right back in the top 5 at 5. Every year after that we haven't dropped past 3rd and since 2009-10 season we've been number 1 every year.

Teams that are in the conversation IMO are the Spurs, Knicks, Warriors, Blazers and Cavs fans. I say Cav fans because they really haven't missed a beat since LeBron left and despite the apparent eternal ineptitude of the team they are always there all the way back to 'The Shot' days (the Coliseum would be intense during those playoff battles).

The worst are the Miami Heat, Atlanta Hawks and LA Lakers. Miami because they are made up almost entirely by bandwagon riders who only support the team when they're a legit contender for a title or are pratically guaranteed one with this Big Three era. At least a lot of guys that were bandwagon riding the Bulls back in the 90's stayed on with the team after the dynasty which is why there are so many Bulls fans turning up at games all over the NBA. Ten years after the Big Three is done in Miami, Miami Heat fans aren't going to be drowning out fans of other teams on the road the way a few of these other teams do because they'll be back to wearing Laker gear or Knicks gear or whatever team is the surefire pick to win the title for the next several years.

The Hawks because they just don't give a damn what that franchise does win or lose. Maybe it's just cause they realize what most of us already did about that team never amounting to more than a second round exit at their best the way they were constructed, but the city just generally gives no dambs about the Atlanta Hawks.

The Lakers because they are basically Miami Heat West. While they have quite a few smart basketball fans around the country, they are still overrun with moronic, basketball stupid bandwagon fans who don't know a damn thing about basketball other than 'we got Kobe, come at me bro.'

You can't possibly expect me to be 100% unbiased, no matter what anyone says, no one is.

Don't get me wrong the Heat fan base sucks, I just think the Lakers fan base is worst especially with the way they flip flops with the clippers earlier this year.

Don't expect you to be completely unbiased, but calling out Laker and Heat fans as a bad fanbase and not the C's? The Celtic fanbase was practically non existent before the Big Three got there and magically transported us back to the '80s. It's not like they were watching terrible teams in Boston either they were at least playoff squads there. Still being there right now while they're still competitive with KG, Pierce, Rondo on that roster isn't any sort of accomplishment. Let's see what they do when KG and Pierce are gone and Rondo is carrying the load himself and that seventh or eighth seed is the best they can hope for.

We have had multiple losing streaks and terrible losses to bad teams this year but the fans still find optimism. Rondo has torn his acl and Jared sullinger is out for the year, Paul has been having a terrible season, although kg is kg. we're certainly not the worst and comparing us to the heat and laker fans comes off as an insult even if you didnt mean it.
