Damn, how embarrassing compared to the Detroit fans!

Sigh...It's extremely loud in there, but as stated before, they don't mic the crowd or the rims.
I was at game one and my ears were still ringing the next day.
I don't know.. seemed kind of loud in there tonight. Even mentioned it to the wife that the crowd was INTO that game.
are you surprised?
I was pleasantly suprised by the suits cheering.

Kinda hard to cheer when the visiting team is ragdolling the Spurs all over the court and leading majority of the game.
well it's loud, but you can't blame the fans, when the Spurs aren't playing to well. Not much to cheer about when detroit scoring most of the time down the court.
Just by also watching the game, you can see sitting instead of standing and - heck I've been to Spurs games and wonder why some people go - they just sit and clap. I know our Spurs didn't play well tonight, but what a big difference our corporate fans -compared to Detroits. Just an observation.
Our Spurs need to show some heart! I appreciate the Detroit fans - the support the gave their team and I wish our fans would just go a little crazier!
The SBC Center was very loud...I was there.
And of course...the Palace is probably louder because there are more fans (it's a bigger arena)... The almost 19,000 at the SBC Center did their part.
I have to agree. I don't know if it was loud. But the fans looked lame as . Come on!!! show some emotion.
And does it really matter, Spurs have to bring it reguardless. The fans feed off the players and if they get on a roll that place will be jumpin.
Just listening to Spurs Radio WOAI. A spurs fan at the game said he decided to get up and cheer the spurs he'd had enough of bad play and decided to stand and yell and have fun and said that spurs fans started throwing popcorn at him. Just heard earlier in the after teh game show.
Seriously? I just didn't see it. I mean all arenas get up and cheer after a big bucket..but other then that i heard very little.
At the Palace you get a Defense Chant and a clapitty clap everytime down the floor.
I was there, it should have been louder mic or no mic the fans at the center need to light a fire. No voice and no sleep for me tonite.
I called in right after that guy...Just listening to Spurs Radio WOAI.

Just heard earlier in the after teh game show.
I left the game completely disgusted by the so-called "fans" sitting in the lower level. I was lucky enough to find a reasonably priced ticket in the ninth row and was amazed to see that I was the only one really standing and cheering within a ten foot radius. As I looked around the SBC Center, I realized that the situation was similar in just about every section. The guy sitting behind me even got angry at me for standing up and cheering. He said, "I paid $1,000 for this seat. You can't be standing up like that all night." All I could think about were the thousands of real fans at the airport Sunday night, who would have gladly stood and cheered at the SBC Center for 48 minutes, but instead were relegated to various bars downtown because they couldn't afford ticket broker prices.
I came home after the game and immediately started looking for tickets for Game 7. What I found were ticket prices so out of the ballpark that I fear that Game 7 is going to be filled with even more corporate types that, when they are eventually coerced out of their seats to cheer, simply stand there with their arms folded and mouths shut. Think these same folks would be caught dead at the river parade or the Alamodome celebration? Not a chance.
So you're upset that no one was standing up?
Last time I checked, one is able to clap, scream, cheer, yell, and make whatever noise they want while sitting down. What does standing up do? Make you look bigger?
Shutup. Have you ever been to a game? The players, cheerleaders, coyote, etc love to get all the fans on their feet -- especially in huge games like this. It's part of cheering.
I actually had an opportunity to sit in the lower level for Game 1 but said no thanks. Id rather sit in my season tickets in section 202 because its full of season ticket holders who actually get up and cheer and yell.
Before I got season tickets and would end up in different sections every game I went to I hated it when someone would tell me to sit down or be quite. The first year in the dome, we had partial tix. The lady who sat in front of us actually complained about us. Said we stood up too much and cheered to loud.
I was there, and I have to say that I thought the crowd was lame. I have no voice left, and my companions and I didn't sit down the whole time (my seats are in row 1 upstairs). The lower level treated Game 6 like some meaningless December game. Half of downstairs was empty when the 2nd half started (exaggeration, but not far from the truth) and those who were there were mostly flat. I expected much, much more from a Spurs crowd. Seemed like a lot of people just wanted to be there, but few were really into it.
There was a great deal of complacency in that building tonight.
I also thought that the Spurs organization did a TERRIBLE job of keeping the fans involved. Having Pizza Hut frisbee tosses and HEB beach ball drops in the second half of a close-out game in the Finals? No Coyote? No "Crazy Lou"? No real effort to keep the fans involved in the game? Fans must bear the burden of cheering, but when the franchise is more interested in pimping product at that stage, it's not particularly helpful.
Spurs fans were overconfident. Everyone was talking about where they were going to be for the river parade and what they will be wearing to the Alamodome celebration. Nobody thought the Spurs were going to lose.
That spread to the players and the players played a horribly sloppy game and didn't even know the plays that Pop was calling. If I'm 20 rows up and I know where everyone is supposed to be and the players don't ... that is not a good sign.

I agree. I understand sponserships and such but they should try to get them all out of the way in the first half.
I thought it was loud but I guess that was just my section. But I agree, the lower level usually does suck in the noise department
Yes, yeah, sure. But what effect does it have on the "noise" volume.
I'm sure it'd sound just as loud if everyone in the building were sitting down clappping as it would if everyone was standing up and clapping.
I'm not defending jackasses that don't do a thing and have their hands under their asses. I' m just making a commentary on the little to no noise difference when standing or sitting.
Exactly.
Plus, as you predicted earlier today, the overconfident feeling in the arena was suffocating. Nobody thought the Pistons were showing up.
That's what I was afraid of.
P.S.
Freaking Spurs fans got so bored they started doing the wave.
There were so many instances of the players on the floor running the wrong plays tonight or not being in the right spots, it was sick. I don't even get why/how they didn't understand what was being called. Several times I saw players getting waved to the right spot on the floor. That kind of crap is for December, not June.the players played a horribly sloppy game and didn't even know the plays that Pop was calling.
