One of the contributing factors to that run was an absolutely dead BC while people continued to socialize at half time. Not a new phenomenon. The dead atmosphere negated our home court advantage for that stretch. I really believe it was a factor. It was not the reaon we lost, it was a factor in the key stretch of the game that put us behind. In big games we need to capitalize on every advantage. We gave up one of those advantages during a key time in the game.
I'm with you. I also think the problem exacerbated by really big games like this where there are lots of casual fans who don't care so much about the game.
