There is no way they are getting an ABC or prime afternoon slot. So I think it has to be Bucks at 530pm and then Denver game at 8pm cst. Lakers/Grizzlies probably be the noon game and Suns/Clippers get 230pm slot.

They want to put the Lakers at 10am local time?


Probably not. Maybe Bucks get the noon game then, Suns Clippers get one of the later games and Lakers/Grizzlies get 230pm.

I will be shocked if we don't end up with the noon game. I expect Denver to have the late game.

Well tickets are extremely affordable for Wednesday night. I wish the crowd was louder but people want a good team and a brand new stadium (me personally I was fine with the BC and preferred it in some ways). Louder fans (if im stereotyping) were priced out as a result. That said, I still find it weird to get worked up over the crowd who is paying a ton of money to watch a team that underperformed. Jrue is making max money and the crowd not being loud enough shouldn't cause him to go cold suddenly in the playoffs.

Glad I sold Game 2 early. Attended yesterday with my son and definitely a bit of a dud for a game. Crowd I felt tried to get into it a few times, but just could not sustain a run. Part is spoiled fan base too now. First Round, especially when expecting a sweep, doesn't get the locals quite as geeked as it maybe did a few years back.

Was my first time in the upper level in awhile as I normally upgrade seats and honestly did not hate it. Pretty good vibe, no real differences in food/drink options (although I skip these days as can't justify prices), and honestly in row 2 of baseline the seats are not terrible. A little higher up but same distance as some of the higher rows in the lower baseline area. Kind of glad I didn't spend 2K more for some lowers I was looking at for next year. Plus the screen is ginormous if want to watch that from time to time. Leg space is my only major complaint and I'm 5'10. Fortunately had no one in seat next to us so could stretch from time to time.

I at least was able to pick up my season ticket holder giveaway bag which had some cool things, lol. So there was that too.

Honestly as a fan of the game, I prefer some of the upper level seats. You can see the play develop a little more and have less blind spots. Lower level is better for casual fans wanting to be closer and see just how big some of these humans (?) are in real life. (Better for resale too)

I just bought game 2 tickets for lower level for $73 a piece, going with three friends. I will be screaming as loud as I can from the opening tip, so hopefully I can help set the tone for a good crowd. I am cautiously optimistic it will be a good crowd at 8PM in a must win game with cheap tickets.

I was also at the game and I thought the crowd was fine. When you can't get stops, it makes it pretty hard to cheer. Sunday afternoon 1st round game, crappy start, etc. Was my first time in the lower bowl and the sight lines were pretty solid even from the sideline view about parallel to the basket). Honestly, noise at Lambeau and even Miller/AFAM have never been the loudest - i think its just not really in Wisconsin Sports DNA to be honest. In my younger days, I tried to get tons of chants going at big games and was mostly unsuccessful.

Biggest issue I had was the food was never available on the app (tried basically the entire game from the middle of the 2nd quarter at multiple venders). Stupid that buying the old fashioned way isn't even an option.

Agreed on food. It is kind of a pain in the ass and the con courses so get jammed packed generally when we leave seats. Bathroom lines are the other yearly complaint I have. If don't leave during play, there will be lines.

Ours crowds are definitely now more of a show me something and we will cheer. The days of a raucous atmosphere from the tip are gone outside maybe the Finals which most diehard common fan will be priced out. Same with the Pack, maybe outside of a NFC champ game, its a reactive crowd too.

Uppers at FF are 100X better than uppers at the BC.

I agree with all of this. I can definitely see the play development more. The blind spots are not there and being row 2 virtually no worries on people traffic since have to walk up to concourse. But yeah for resale there is a stronger segment that shuns uppers even if some seats are arguably better.

I was there last night and when we got to within one possession a couple times it was hard to hear my wife and daughter but watching your team shoot sub-20% for most of the game tends to suck the energy out of a building.

I think the arena should be loud the entire time in any winnable playoff game. Obviously if it's like a 20 point blowout with 5 minutes left I understand fans being out of gas. The fans should show up for the team every playoff game to give them energy on off nights and boost them into larger blowouts on good nights. I just don't think it's the teams job to make the fans get loud, the fans should just be loud and there's multiple cities where that's always the case. I say this as someone who was at the BC for the Raptors game where the crowd willed the team back into the game and not the other way around. The crowd matters.

They must have really expected the Bulls in the first round cause prices are going down and more available tickets than a regular season game.
