Celtics Win and What Bibby Said

Celtics turn back the Hawks - who were using aggressive tactics. The Hawks were handicapped by Bibby's lame comments regarding "bandwagon" fans. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Looking at last years attendance figures and records for all the NBA teams, you can see in the table below that the Celtics had more fans per win than any other team. I always felt the attendance at the Garden was impressive given the poor record last year, but that was because there was so much intrigue regarding the Celtics youthful corps that was traded away last summer for a couple of all-stars.

Bibby for MVP!!! lol he's funny like clown shoes!!!

Rondo is definitely outplaying Bibby, but that's not saying much. He's pretty much been a disaster the last couple of seasons.

Your "attendance per win" stat is a little questionable, but I get what you're saying.

Bibby should be feeling pretty small about now . . . .

About the attendance per win - it is definitely questionable. I wanted to put up a graphic instead that showed that Celtics were above the trendline for wins versus attendance - but even then here is too much variability in stadium capacity to go by just attendance. %capacity is better probably. And then things hit a ceiling for the teams that sell out, so attendance plateaus regadless of the number of wins.

But if you were watching the Celtics last year, you'd be forced to wonder, why are there so many fans despite all the losing? The Boston fans, to the contrary, are not fair weather fans, because last year they filled the Garden to 85% capacity, despite the worst of three consecutive losing seasons.
