Sports Illustrated Blames 7 year-old for low Pacers attendence

On Friday night the Lakers beat the Pacers in Indy. Shouldn't have happened. Kobe played only 12 minutes because of an ankle injury he got on a "dirty play" in Atlanta two night earlier. Plus, the Pacers are the number two playoff seed, right now, and the Lakers are number 8 in the West.

George Hill and Steve Nash

But what pissed off the Pacers George Hill was the lack of fan support. Hill says he heard cheers when his team missed a shot even though this was a home game. Sports Ill. is blaming poor attendance in Indy on two violent incidents: One happened in 2004, the other in 2006. WTF. Yeah, less than 15,000 fans attend the games there (according to the story) because of the fight between the Pacer and Pistons that happened in DETROIT, in 2004 and a night club shooting in 2006. (BTW, Stephen Jackson says was not hit in the mouth as reported by the USA Today. Jackson says he lost some teeth after being hit by a car) The fans aren't supporting the team, but and the reason is two things that happened years ago involving players that are no longer playing for the Pacers. Great deduction!
