We fricking shite the bed lol. I spent the last week telling all my people to tune in on Fox for a big Pels game. Did the same a week ago. Seemed the same way every time we played on TNT.

I get it it’s the NBA nights like tonight happen often but it’s unfortunate when you’re trying to get the local fanbase interested.

I made that comment in the game thread. It’s literally been this way for years

I agree! Just sucks as a small market team that’s trying go build a local fanbase.

The team has been here for damn near a quarter century. If there is no fan base by now, what makes you think they can still build one?

You don't remember '08. We ask so little. Not even a championship but a team that can be competitive into round 2 and the region absolutely caught fever over that team. They can't build a consistent fanbase because they have failed to put out something that people with a choice (besides diehard lunatic masochists like me and others here) would subject themselves to. I mean frick we've been going over 10 years where our supposedly generational talents--Toni and Zion put us through constant bullshite with alternating between being fragile pussies both mentally and physically and rumors about whether they hate it here and would force a trade.

What other fanbase has been asked to put up with this same shite for so long? We still ask so. frickin. little. Play with passion and pride and occasionally make a frickin run for us. This fanbase would love the team so hard if they just gave us a bare minimum to love.

Because we are still just a collection of talent that doesn't really play well together. So when we play teams with less talent that are undisciplined like we are or catch a good team on an off nightwe look like world beaters. But when we play teams with equal or greater talent or lesser talented teams that execute well we struggle

Very relatable post. I’ll get my dad and bro to watch a game when we’re looking good and then I always question why I even bothered to hype them after watching us play a nationally televised game?

Almost always come away feeling embarrassed
