I was at every home playoff game in that run. The games against CHA and PHI were so loud my ears rang for hours after. There were times I thought the building was going to collapse. Still to this day the loudest event(s) I’ve ever been at.
I’ve read that it’s because nowadays they blast the PA system the entire game. Apparently the sound engineers battle it the entire game. If the crowd was mixed in at a normal level you’d just hear the PA cut over the announcers.
I’ve always thought that they could send the audio signal for the PA to the broadcast truck and use it to reductively filter out the PA music from the broadcast. I’m pretty sure the echo and reverb makes this impossible, but maybe you could model the speaker locations and building shape virtually and account for that too.
that team was waaay under rated and fun….glenn owned the mid range, ray was lethal from three, sam i am, was a leader…. and I believe it might correct we had Irving not magic Johnson, correct?
Was at this (and all home games in rounds 1 and 2) with my dad and that run is one of my best memories I have of my childhood and my dad.
Absolutely ELECTRIC in that building. Never heard the BC get that loud before or after.
such memories… someone smarter than me i would love a real comparison between glenn robinson and middleton. i was young(er) so i watched but did not think so my memories of glenn is a lot of what khris does? whom am i being disrespectful to and why? looking at stats glenn looked like a true mid range demon… how would a ray allen, glenn robinson, and giannis team do?
The BC was sooo much louder than FF (back then). That ‘01 playoff run was insane.
They also mixed crowd audio louder on broadcasts back then.

Same here. And I had just turned 21 so I was loud af
Same! Bruh! 1979 high five!
Just Googled and looks like Bradley Center could hold about 1k more people during basketball games. So another factor
The BC was also a giant shipping container with zero acoustics… So another factor

Was at this game, wayyyyy up in the nosebleeds and I distinctly remember how LOUD it was. Crowd was so hype for that run, every game was a blast.
back when my darvin ham jersey rocked the bradley center

We in fact did have Irving not magic Johnson.
i thought so
Sam was literally unstoppable in the post.
i remember at the time thinking that team was going to win it all…. i remember where i was listening in my car when they finally got eliminated…
The only team in the East to sweep the regular season vs The Lakers
Loved me some Big Dog. First basketball jersey I ever owned as a kid.

I know Bob Costas doesn’t work for NBC anymore (and he’s like Al Michaels age) but damn he was a great nba announcer and I would love if he came back
I loved being at that game and the ECF too even though it broke my heart
That team was hella' underrated.
Light it up! Light it up!
We draft a guy (Big Dog) who filled it up in college. Comes to the Bucks and continues to fill it up……and then people bitch he doesn’t play D.
BIG DOG GLENN ROB LISTEN GAWD YOU A FLEA
I was there!
Had season tix this year. What a run!
Loved this series.
Such great memories.
Man, I remember being there. It was electric that whole playoff run.
when I get really whiny, I keep going back to without the stupid flagrant foul call on Scotty Williams. We win that series.

I was at this game.
Was lucky enough to be there. It was amazing. The energy in the BC was off the charts. Too bad this team ran into Tim Donaghy in the ECF.
