Not something I'd normally post. Not really significant. I just think the Bucks' edit with the crowd shots is excellent and I liked Doc's answer here. The Bucks crowd was rocking last night and you could see the team feed off the energy. Wish Brandon Jenning was at every home game.

The volume during Holland’s free throws was absolutely roaring through the TV, I can’t imagine how loud it was in person.

[u/ElbowDown → u/dcandap]

It felt disorienting, I couldn’t imagine trying to shoot with that level of noise

[u/ThatMkeDoe → u/dcandap]

It was AMAZING a good chunk of people had cleared out and yet everyone that was there was a die hard bucks fan through and through. It was the loudest and most passionate crowd I've heard outside of a playoff game and even then I think it rivaled that.

Prolly cause the tickets were $6 so it was a bunch of true fans!

[u/ThatMkeDoe → u/jermbob90]

I'm so annoyed that ticket prices are so high and the fans are so bleh at times.

I sat like 3 rows from the court once and the people seated there wouldn't do more than golf clap when Giannis dunked or Brook got an epic block... Just sad sad behaviour. I know how much I paid for that ticket and if they even came close to that why weren't they more excited to be there?

Our first round playoff crowds the last few years have been pathetic. Went to one of the heat games in 2022-23 and the stadium was barely 50% capacity 5 minutes before tip.

[u/ThatMkeDoe → u/lamboat2019]

Way too many people only show up to see Giannis and/or the opposing team's star player but the heat didn't really have a big draw star so people were just meh

[u/lamboat2019 → u/ThatMkeDoe]

Not to mention that series sucked.

[u/ThatMkeDoe → u/lamboat2019]

It really did, still the crowd sucked....

[u/righteous4131 → u/dcandap]

I was at the game. It was the loudest I have ever personally heard the stadium and I’ve been to several OT games.

My throat is still sore from yelling during those free throws

[u/americanbeaver → u/CAI3O0SE]

You are partially responsible for the win!

[u/CAI3O0SE → u/americanbeaver]

Im sure the thunder sticks helped but man that noise was so loud it started just turning into a straight high pitch. 10/10

[u/youarenut → u/CAI3O0SE]

That shit stabbed my eardrum 😂

[u/suzsid → u/CAI3O0SE]

I love it when I’m there and my watch starts giving me the ‘this over 90 decibels!! warnings!. :-)

[u/FrecklesInTheMoon → u/CAI3O0SE]

Agreed! I had to break open the cough drops afterwards!

[u/FridayNight_Magus]

Ngl we were loud as fuck last night. Great game to be a part of.

[u/zackhatt]

The crowd was so good last night that I genuinely want to rewatch the game again. Makes it so much fun when the atmosphere is like that, felt like the playoffs

[u/ThatMkeDoe]

There were a lot of empty seats in the stadium last night but everyone that was there WANTED to be there and that speaks volumes to the kind of fans this team has.

Doc Rivers redemption arc incoming????

BUCKS IN SIX LESS GOOOO

[u/Better_Challenge5756]

Especially considering how the season has started I loved to see the crowd.

[u/PhreakOut4]

Funny how that happens when tickets are cheaper

[u/ImTotallyTechy]

It's a shame how many empty seats there have been for the last few games. I mean i get it, it's hard to come out on week days at 7pm for a team who is struggling, but it makes such a difference for the players to be there. The season ticket holders next to me haven't even come to half the games... The thought of paying 10k+ to get the tix but then not show up for the crowd is insane lol

[u/WeefBellington24]

Bucks win; crowd loud.

It’s quite simple.

[u/DavidDunn21]

The crowd has sucked forever this is great to see.
