SA crowd was INSANE! How did it sound on TV? Warrior-esque?

[hater]

I can't wait till T-Mac hits a shot in garbage time.

lol that would be epic

[temujin]

When we heard that Hubie Brown was on air, we switched off the volume.

[Biernutz]

The halftime show was called "Red Panda" A lady rides a tall unicycle. She stacks bowls on her leg from her foot them flips them on her head.
She will flip up to 5 bowls at a time. This is one of the 3 best halftime shows...that's why the crowd was cheering at the half......

[TampaDude]

I can't wait till T-Mac hits a shot in garbage time. The ATT center will probably crumble from the impact of the crowd.

"McGrady hits a totally meaningless three! That extends the Spurs lead to 28 with 2:05 to go in the 4th."

Haha! I could tell the remaining fans desperately wanted to see T-Mac make a shot. Their collective "awe" when he missed his 3 point attempt was pretty loud in itself

[buttsR4rebounding]

Yeah, I was ready to leave with about 4 minutes left, but my son said he wanted to stay to see if McGrady scored...I know that was what everyone was waiting for. Less than 10% of the crowd left a 20 point game with 2 minutes left...

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I was screaming along with everone else "shoot it!!!" when McGrady got the ball.

[Solid D]

There were many Spurs fans in the lower sections who stood up and cheered loudly in anticipation of Matt Bonner...at the catch...hitting a 3, well-before he swished it. Yeah, they were into it. The lower bowl fans finally came-correct.

[T Park]

Im in the lower bowl and we've always been correct...

You, my friend, are the vocal, non-glove wearing, non-get there at the first subs ution, minority.

It was hilarious that the Chinese acrobats (or whatever was going on at halftime) was drowning out Magic Johnson and Bill Simmons.

Was there too and that chick was awesome I had the opportunity to go to a game all 3 rounds and this one was the loudest so far!

[Legacy]

Don't know...no decibel meter to tell us.

Well, you T Park and people like this couple, of course

[baseline bum]

I hate that ABC lowers the crowd noise on tv. I've been to some LOUD games that aired on ABC and dvr'd it only to watch it at home and think "wtf."

Not just ABC. I remember being at the MDM with by far the loudest crowd I have ever heard at a basketball game, then when I went home and watched the NBC game tape I recorded it just sounded like a regular game.

[chazley]

Watching the game from home, I made several remarks about how great the crowd was. Awesome job guys.

[Poolboy5623]

Yeah...I thought it was a good turnout by the crowd also...however, I did keep thinking they could be just a little better...at this pt in the wcf, you have to be into every play, imo...offensive, defensive, loose balls, turnovers, etc. The home team can feed off of it. Game 2 should be twice as loud. 8Pm start and probably the biggest game of the postseason, for the spurs yet..gotta hold home court.

[Poolboy5623]

Also, fwiw...I think the spurs crowd has a ways to go before it can be refereed to as "warrior-esque." That crowd is in a league of its own.

[crc21209]

It was a late arriving crowd and I figured that Simmons would take some sort of shot at SA for that; once everyone got there, though, it was a really good building for a Game 1. I'm not sure it was quite where it was for Game 5 of the last round, but the building did SA proud, I thought.

+1. I Was at Game 5 of the last series and the crowd was awesome...

I'm not a season ticket holder, but everytime I go to a game I get lower level seats. Usually when I go I'm one of the few cheering my ass off, yelling, clapping, standing, etc. while the people around me look at me like I'm a nut. Don't get me wrong there are great fans in the lower bowl that get into it but only a couple that really, really get into it...

[ShoogarBear]

Well, you T Park and people like this couple, of course

I always wondered what Solid D looked like.

[TheyCallMePro]

I went to game 5 vs GSW. It was really loud. I think we have one of the best atmospheres in the NBA, and it gets so little credit.

Seriously, why can't ESPN give us a decimal meter? Or show the stands every once in a while? they had a camera overhead in GSW that showed the fans every time play was about to start. Not to mention whenever a shot was made...

[Kool Bob Love]

This crowd will be much better now. 20, 40, 50 times better than back in the '07 Finals.

[lefty]

damn if its really loud Heat are ed tbh

[Budkin]

Kool Bob going nuts with the bumps.
