By all accounts Blake Griffin’s debut with the Detroit Pistons was a successful one — on the hardwood, at least. He posted a typical healthy Blake line of 24 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists, and most importantly, helped lead the Pistons to a victory over the shorthanded Grizzlies. His new teammates certainly seem to like him already:

But how did the acquisition of a five-time All Star and former high flyer extraordinaire impact attendance at Little Caesars Arena? Well… maybe once Blake leads the team to a couple more wins people will come out, because it was still empty as hell tonight despite the “Welcome Blake” tees that were given out:
