Whose troll is Manning? Badodor?
My bad, Coach.
Staples Center has crazy crowds, it can be one of the hardest places to play. Laker fans turn on their own team every now and then too, so sometimes they will be better on the road. They will riot in the streets if they win, so better than a passive crowd I guess.
I would rank the crowd below quite a few others, though. Warriors, OKC, Mavs, Bulls and especially the Blazers have a much better home court advantage on average. Still, Staples Center is an enigma and the crowd is ranked up there.
LA being a tough place to play has nothing to do with their crowds. I attribute it more to the Lakers being a somewhat decent team. Emphasis on "somewhat." The crowds riot the streets because they're low class and uneducated (typical Laker fan).
I've been to a Laker home game before. Sat towards the back with the so-called real fans. Still, I almost dozed off due to the quietness.
They're all spoiled and jaded, hence the lack of enthusiasm.
You're missing the point, Bobby. Findog's original point was that Dallas has been successful on the road in 3 tougher venues than AAA...Miami's homecourt is not going to sway the outcome to either side. LeBron's 4th quarter play will, though.
I don't disagree with that. I'm just pointing out that SC isn't as intimidating as people are making it out to be.
I agree, Staples is not that great of an atmosphere, but it certainly beats the out of Miami's.
