Bad home crowd leads to bad starts??

I just feel like if the crowd was into the game from tip and realized hey this is the playoffs maybe we wouldn't have these slow starts..I know we were coming back from large deficits last 2 games but it shouldn't have to take that in order out crowd to get on their feet and cheer "defense"..

Young teams can somewhat be intimidated by the loud crowds but I don't think the Spurs will when we play in GS...it actually could help us being focused and determined feeding off the energy in the arena..actual playoff amostphere.

On another note. Play big. And get easy buckets and play to your strengths..if Memphis plays GS you think they won't play Gasol and Z-bo?? I don't think so

I agree! I don't know why Pop always have to bend over and make adjustment to matchup with what opponent have. Why not try to have the opponent make adjustment with their lineup? Play big Duncan and Splitter let see what happens.
