partially true, but the only time the Hornets had good fan support was during the final 15-20 games of the 2008 season and then the very next season after that in 08-09. people tend to forget the Hornets were still a playoff team in 2010-11 and had a top 5 (arguably top 3 player in the NBA) in Chris Paul on the team and still barely cracked the 14,700ish attendance benchmark with about 15,000 per game. so its not as if "winning" is the only thing that will draw and keep a crowd here. the biggest issue is the market to be honest. New Orleans and the Gulf South in general is not a good basketball market.


Look at the attendance trend in that season. They were bad prior, so attendance started bad. Then, it went up as they started winning. Next season, you know, when the effect of those wins would really be felt, 98% sellout on the season.
