The Philadelphia 76ers were among the teams hosting playoff games over the weekend that saw an increase in fan capacity in their arenas.
The 76ers welcomed more than 11,000 at the Wells Fargo Center for their Game 1 matchup against the Washington Wizards. Philadelphia won the game 125-118.
"I can’t believe that was 10,000, 11,000 [people]. There’s no way. I think we’re counting like the Republicans because it felt like 30,000 people in the stands. They were amazing," 76ers coach Doc Rivers said. "Let’s keep it going. It’s so nice to have that at home.

And I don't watch basket BLM-ball.
Doc who?
Here is Trump speaking to what Republicans termed a "huge crowd". But you know how Republicans count. Democrats in the media say that perhaps 500 attended. [/s]
“Counting like the Republicans”?
Checking IDs?
Displuting counts of tickets that were punched after the game ended?
“I think we’re counting like the Republicans because it felt like 30,000 people in the stands.”
a slam against PDJT and his take on the inauguration crowd size.
Thankx Doc, another reason to not watch basketball.
It means counting numbers of people present as opposed to counting like democrats as in making up a number that sounds good
Who gives a flying *uck what Doc Rivers, or anyone tied to the NBA, thinks or says.
A suit and tie does not increase one's IQ.
“...counting like republicans is supposed to mean.”
It could mean they can’t count to 1 million, like the march. So they figure no one can count or is allowed to. Besides, they play a game where the score on the scoreboard doesn’t mean anything as the book is the official score and if the score is wrong on the board, big deal.

FUDR....
It means there were actually 10,000 people there. Because Republicans will actually count the number of people attending. He said “it felt like 30,000”. Because for democrats, math is based on feelings. Like taking votes away from your opponent, and giving extra votes to your candidate.
Well, I didn’t much care who won in the East, but now I have a reason to care who loses.
The racist speaks and who really cares but lefraud and his thugs
Hate to say this but conservatives must reject all professional sports. Every penny you send them is at risk of being donated to Dems.
No more sports. White males were their money supply all along and it’s suicidal for a conservative to fund this.
It would really be a shame if eggs somehow got onto the court during their games.....just saying.
I’m busily selling off my sports memoribilia as fast as I can. If I come across something with doc Rivers name on it I’ll burn it.
