LJ is right. Last night was the best crowd ever at the SBC Center. Before the game started, the crowd set the tone. They got on their feet about 30 minutes before tip-off banging their cheer sticks in unison and chanting GO SPURS GO. It was something overwhelming. I was sitting next to Randy Beemer and screaming in his ear to talk to him and we couldn't hear each other at all.
During the game, the crowd was so loud you couldn't hear the PA music or the refs whistles a lot of the time.
The entire crowd from front row to the ceiling stood up for the majority of the game, but particularly the fourth quarter. In the second half, I was getting goosebumps from the crowd when the Spurs were down 9 and the crowd was rallying them back in. When the crowd lulled for just a brief second, Manu waved them back to their feet and the place erupted again.
HUGE Props to Spurs fans. It was incredible. The crowd was more than a Sixth Man.
