Who will have the best crowd in R1

[DuMa]

Will OKC's crowd be just as memorable if theyre the perennial favorites to take the West this year?

And who can forget the Dubs' crowds in 2007 when they last made teh playoffs.

I'm expecting Brooklyn to have a great crowd as well.

THE RED SEA aka Clippers!

[qrich]

I'm expecting the top 5 to be, in no order:

Warriors, Clippers, Grizzlies, Thunder, Nuggets

Kinda funny how that is all Western sides :oldlol:

[Goldrush25]

Dang, no respect for MSG crowd?? When it's rocking, no one beats MSG.

MSG and Staples (Not Clips version) are sick in the playoffs but I guess people don't like em because they don't all wear same color tees lol

Warriors crowd will be ecstatic because it has been a while for them to experience the playoffs.

Yes, Laker crowds are so sick in the playoffs that I've had friends who sat in the 200s being told that they are cheering too loud and to calm down a bit :facepalm

[Xsatyr]

It will never be as loud as the Dallas series though. I was in awe with that crowd.

That's cool

I've only been to one PO in 5 years or so (last year's Game 5 vs Nugs) and there were no such f@ggots. They definitely exist during the regular season, though

[All Net]

OKC/GS come to mind straight away...

[GOATbrookisGAWD]

OKC/GS come to mind straight away...
This :rockon:

[CHi1PriDe]

This :rockon:

QFT, esp OKC, since they no other team to ever cheer for

[iDunk]

1. OKC
2. New York (Nothing beats that sheer NY excitement)
3. Golden State
4. Memphis
5. Chicago (22k people screaming at the top of their lungs is intimidating)
6. Brooklyn (Sleeper; even though they only can fit 17,732 people in their building I think its gonna be a real dope environment)

[Xsatyr]

1. OKC
2. New York (Nothing beats that sheer NY excitement)
3. Golden State
4. Memphis
5. Brooklyn (Sleeper; even though they only can fit 17,732 people in their building I think its gonna be a real dope environment)

Yeah no...

[NauruDude]

guys you underestmiating pacers

[It's A VC3!!!]

Brooklyn. The crowd will be chanting Brooklyn all game long and the entire crows will be wearing black. A blackout in Brooklyn will look spectacular.

Can't comment because I don't watch many Griz games, but I always heard they had a relatively smaller and quieter crowd?

Agree mostly with the list tho:cheers:

I have nothing against the Nets but IMHO they have a terrible chant. :lol
Pretty noisy crowd though:cheers:

[SIRI1]

Golden State was the 1st to come to mind.

[b0bab0i]

guys you underestmiating pacers
When Bulls played Pacers in 2011, it was 5 home games for the Bulls.

Do you remember when George Hill called out Indiana Fans this year?

[Heavincent]

Warriors crowd is gonna go apeshit.

[Xsatyr]

Warriors crowd is gonna be going apeshit.

That's brutal.

[HEAT111]

Let the White Hot begin...

[Goldrush25]

Yeah no...

You kidding me?

Maybe people are too young to remember how loud MSG was in the early 90s, hell even the late 90s with Allan Houston. Let the Knicks get to the ECF and see how amazing that crowd can get. No one tops a Knicks playoff crowd.

[Heavincent]

That's brutal.

Whoops :oldlol:

fixed it

[imdaman99]

Knicks crowd baby! :rockon: even though i won't be amongst them :(

[MisterAmazing]

definitely warriors

[Knicksfever2010]

[Draz]

NY. Why don't we offer matching tees like wtf?

MSG briefly experienced some energy with Linsantiy and went back normalcy. MSG is not what it use to be.

I hope that there will be a blackout. Or do how OKC did and alternate black and white per section. That would be LEGIT.

[WayOfWade]

Thunder crowds always bring intensity, Denver fans are always good (Nugs have best home record in league). But I'm excited to see how GS fans seem, they went nuts back in 07', and I expect similar energy.

[Zackmorris]

Knicks, OKC, Warriors, Memphis, Denver

I expect Nets to have a great crowd too.

[HEAT111]

Knicks, OKC, Warriors, Memphis, Denver

I expect Nets to have a great crowd too.


Those Brooklyn chants are going to be loud.

[AngelEyes]

OKC, Golden state, Knicks

[OldSkoolball#52]

edit - WHOOPS my bad, honestly did not think about how that sounded when i typed it



just kidding

[UtahJazzFan88]

Warriors, Memphis has a really great crowd in the playoffs as well.

[R.H.C.P.]

East - Boston

West - Golden State

[RandyMarsh1]

Lotta great atmospheres no doubt, i think boston crowd will def be the bomb

:applause:

[UnbiasedGuy]

Warriors, Memphis has a really great crowd in the playoffs as well.

:biggums:
too soon

[Scholar]

Obviously Atlanta. That crowd will cheer for whoever is leading the game.

[christian1923]

NY. Why don't we offer matching tees like wtf?
They give out Blue Orange or blue shirts to all the fans for alot of games. People just don't wear them.

[TylerOO]

Laker fans haven't been good in the playoffs since Shaq left :confusedshrug:

[Clutch]

Best 3 in no order: Thunder,Warriors,Knicks

By far the best. Everyone else is a tier below.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Brett yormark did say that for the first game it's going be a total black out. Black shirts will be waiting at everyone's seats as well as vendors selling black soda, cupcakes, popcorn and candy ALL BLACK. Then for the second game it might be a whiteout.

Really? Email i received said MAKE SURE TO WEAR YOUR BLACK SHIRT TO THE ARENA. The first thing i thought was "why aren't they giving shirts?" Very smart. :applause:

Arena is going to look empty in upper decks on tv with the lighting and the black shirts. :lol

[niko]

MSG was just fine this year. Nice of you to pull that from the air. It was also just fine last year at the end of the year with Lin out.

And MSG isn't going to give out shirts because we don't need to all wear the same shirts. Are we a college crowd? We don't need to wear the same shirts, we don't need cues that say "chant this now" and we are well aware which team is the home team.

One thing i can say vs. 5/10 years ago at every arena, the road team will have larger fan contingents than back then. They always so.

Just noticed that, Whiteout is stupid. Miami does that. It's the silliest least intimidating thing in the world. Stick to black. Call Brett.

That pic in the original post is so sick. Can anyone find it in high-res?

And also, the answer is obvious!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3w7Q34gyQ4

(Video is Westbrook with a dunk, then a Harden three, then a Durant three. Crowd goes absolutely batshit crazy and the announcers just stop talking because it's so loud.)

It will look empty in the upper deck. Shirts will be free waiting on chairs though. I would also like to see alternating colors like thunder did. Black and white for the Nets obviously.

That's amazing how the announcers did bot speak once during that crazy frenzy. It was also funny how crowd went completely quiet after foul was called. It sounded as of their were 40,000 fans instead of 20,000

Matching shirts or not they do not come close to bringing the same energy as OKC/GSW fans.

[DuMa]

first day, Brooklyn wins. those chants were so loud.

[DMV2]

Barclays Center was rocking tonight. Missed the other earlier games so can't compare.

Barclays and MSG were great, Denver only got it going in the 4th and right now the Clippers looking good aswell

[MastahX]

Your kidding right? Lakers crowd is so quiet compared to other teams.

What part of my post disagreed with that?

[treadster]

heat. the best one is always the bandwagoner's one

[It's A VC3!!!]

Brooklyn did win. Nice to see that so many other posters agree. However, I hate the manufactured piped in "Brooklyn" chant that urges the fans to chant "Brooklyn". Let the damn fans start the chant on their own. Also, I thought the fourth quarter was a little bit weak but that's due to the Nets being up by 20. If it was a close game, basket for basket, the roof would have collapsed.:banana:

[alwaysunny]

MSG was great too but lack of rhythm and somewhat of a stagnant offense threw the crowd off, although their late effort kept them afloat. This was Brooklyn's night. There was no way to spoil our first playoff game.

See you all on monday

[Clutch]

Brooklyn crowd was great,much better than I expected.

The only thing I didn't like was the "blackout". Way too dark for my taste.
Also they need to stop with that artificial Brooklyn chant. Let the fans start the chant by themselves.
Even though MSG crowd didn't all wear the same color it looked much nicer IMO. Some orange,some blue and other colors,it looked more lively.

There is no one that dislike the manufactured "Brooklyn" chant as much as I do. I have repeatedly criticized Billy King, Brett Yormark and BrooklynNets twitter account to stress how horrific it is to force the fans to chant. They are competent and passionate enough to do so on their own. Please stop piping in a damn recording.

Is it possible that you and I agree on something ?

Shit,world is going to end :lol

[Clutch]

Pacers crowd is by far the worst so far.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Pacers crowd is by far the worst so far.
I agree. Idk what happened but last year against the Heat, the Pacer crowd was explosive. Now, its not weak, but it is the weakest. Decent crowd.

[dzav323]

Pacers crowd is by far the worst so far.
Hawks crowd will be 3x as bad

[Twiens]

G-state

[stevieming]

OKC & Warriors, man it must be such a buzz if you were playing for them!!

[dannywpt]

Warriors take the lead!
