Pretty much nobody attended today's Brooklyn Nets playoff game today. That sounds like hyperbole, but trust us, it isn't
The Nets are hosting the Atlanta Hawks for game three of a playoff game, but the city's biggest borough doesn't seem to realize that.
Check out this photo of the Barclays Center just minutes before tip-off.
In-arena emcee begging the 20 or so fans that are actually here at Barclays to put on their playoff t-shirts.

The photo naturally went viral on Twitter almost instantly, and NBA fans had a field day making fun of Brooklyn for their paltry attendance.
There's more people at the GIlbert Plains Country Club then there is at the Brooklyn/Atlanta game right now #NBA

Nets are rolling right now. The 485 fans there got the building rocking.

@HowardBeck Must be an artisanal mayonnaise and beard-trimming competition somewhere in Williamsburg that's keeping #Nets fans away — Young Ideas (@DickYoungsGhost) April 25, 2015
Some, however, were more understanding.
I'm shocked that the people of greatest city in the country had something better to do today than sit through another ugly Nets/Hawks game
