Pretty much my situation, although I've never been a really big NBA guy until the last 2 or 3 years.

The Grizz are the best team and everyone knows it. No bandwagon.

Why are you so worried how long we've been fans?
I've seen Phillips arena during the Josh Smith era when the Hawks were making the playoffs. They had more fans from the opposing team in the building.

The least likely place to find bandwagon fans is on a sports message board with users who have been active for years. Or the most likely. Can't decide

a lsu message board is certainly the place to troll Uga fans supporting the hawks.

People in NOLA are obsessed with anything in Atlanta
Football makes sense but you will even see the obsession on the food board.

The New Orleans envy of Atlanta is strong. Always seeing post on here Atlanta bashing. It is almost as bad as the Seahawks fans consistantly wanting to seem like they have always been a better franchise than the 49ers. Little brother syndrome. Big brother could care less but little brother is always talking trash.

I'll start watching the games once the playoffs get here. IMO the regular season is boring to watch.

I hope a lot have. It's fun when a state team really starts winning. I don't see why people get bent out of shape when people start to cheer for their team.


I'm not a fan of the people who only cheer for the hot team, but if they aren't NBA fans and the Hawks season steers them toward it .

The prob with ATL sports, is nobody is from ATL(few)

So they don't really care when ATL teams loose.

Kinda like Americans who like soccer every 2 years
And can't name a player.

No one ever talks shite about Atlanta on the food board, as much as you'd like to imagine it. Other than nFL season, no one I know gives two shits about Atlanta either way.

I give fans of the Hawks/Pels/Grizzlies some slack when it comes to being bandwagon fans, as the majority of the NBA under Stern was shamelessly loaded in favor of a few choice teams. It was hard to support your smaller market and 'undesirable' teams knowing they had no chance going into the playoffs. It's a lot more fun now that every team actually has a decent chance. I'm loving the parity in the NBA this year.
