Damn front runners. They don't deserve to win.

If you Jimmer it, they will come.
The ESPN montage this morning had them SPEWING out of the front gates with 28 seconds left in the game
Pathetic.
Wherehappens.
I've seen 30k people leave Saints games early and recall 3/4 of Hornets fans leaving a playoff a game early when Denver was crushing us in the playoffs.Originally Posted by UNO Gracias
Spurs fans left game 4 before the 4th qtr ended.
Every fan base has people that eave early for whatever reason. That building still looked 95% full for OT.
I think this gets blown out of proportion because all things Miami get blown out of proportion.
It probably gets blown out of proportion because Miami has front runner fans.
Indeed. And his comparison's aren't even close to a game 6 in which their team might be eliminated.
To each his own. Criticizing and hating on other fanbases has never been my thing. But don't let me stand in the way. Y'all go head and have fun with this thread!
Don't let me stand in the way of you sporting your favorite Lebron jersey at the next Heat Pelicans game. J/k
I guarantee you there were Saints fans that were headed for the exits when Brett Favre got the Vikings into field goal range in the conference championship. I was in the dome. I saw it with my own eyes!

I was there, don't remember that.
Not in my section, they weren't. And surely not in droves like last night.
I was there too (with a nose bleed and all) and I don't remember that.
LOL
The Dome was still full half an hour after the game ended.
Trust me, I think I hugged every person there.

Sorry, but I was there and you are either making that up or saw a fan or two get up to go to the bathroom. No one was leaving. Also, to compare last night to the fans leaving the Hornets playoff game when we were down 58 in the 4th quarter is laughable.
They probably had a long drive back to New Orleans from Miami and wanted to get a head start!
big difference between 20+ point leads and a 5 point game
I. Every fan base has "traffic beaters".
III. That Arena looked at least 95% full in overtime. Not sure you can accurately say fans left in "droves". It's like counting jelly beans in a jar.
III. I've sat in the Terrace for years. There were ABSOLUTELY fans that were leaving Saints/Vikings. They may not have made it all the way to door before returning to their seats but they were leaving.
IV. No one criticized Spurs fans for leaving in game 4.
V. Just don't see the point in criticizing other fans. Especially when it probably was a small minority that left early.
You are either trolling or a Heat fan...
No Saints fans were leaving that game. Just stop
And you can't compare game 4 to game 6. Game 4 was a blow out, the game was not even out of question for game 6
Winner
Ha! I think it's stupid to criticize other fan bases and now I'm a Heat fan? Or trolling...
I think there is a stereotype of Heat fans. I think something like this plays into that stereotype and gets blown out of proportion. I think the 20k or so that can afford a game 6 ticket represent a small % of the actual citizens of Miami that are Heat fans, just as the 20k Pelicans fans in the Arena represent a small slice of actual Pelicans fans in New Orleans. I think when 500 to 1000 fans AT MOST leave early, that's a poor representation of the fan base in general. So to criticize Heat fans, and say that they don't deserve a championship because a relatively small number decided to beat traffic at a game where even NBA officials assumed it was over (they taped off the court and brought out the trophy, doesn't make a lot of sense.
It's stereotypical loser mentality. Let's criticize the fans of the winning team. They don't deserve to win. I just don't get that.
My family has had expensive season tickets to Hornets games for years. The last two seasons have been especially embarrassing in terms of fan support. I'm pretty sure we rank last if not in attendance, in game atmosphere and fan enthusiasm. People arrive late and leave early if they arrive at all. Some games, if none of us can make it, we literally can't GIVE AWAY $100 tickets!! But I don't have a doubt at all that if/when we get good and start being in the playoffs, that arena is going to be full and rocking!
Know what that makes Hornets/Pelicans fans.....?? No better than Clippers/Heat fans. Front running, bandwagoners!!!!

But the thin air might make you a lil' loopy. Say some off the wall things. Just helping you out, player.
That imagine of a flaky fan base has been illustrated by the Miami media who told us to be prepared for this when the Big 3 got together a few years back. Can't fault people for classifying people as front runners when they themselves say that they are front runners.
