Nets CEO Brett Yormark thanks "the Brooklyn community and our entire fan base for your unwavering support"

Now that the Brooklyn Nets (barely) made the playoffs, those on the team's mailing list got a personal note from team/arena CEO Brett Yormark:

We want to thank the Brooklyn community and our entire fan base for your unwavering support. You are instrumental in the team’s success and have helped us advance to the playoffs each year we’ve been in the borough.

Um, that's reminiscent of the alleged "unwavering" support from Barclays when it came time to renew the naming rights agreement in November 2008, as the project stalled during the financial crisis. Barclays actually renegotiated, and a reported $300+ million deal became a $200+ million deal.
