I'll be there tonight and i'll be ROWDY as always, haha.
I used to think ideas like unique chants were cool and fun, but we don't need it. I especially feel this way after watching/listening to the embarrassing crowd and sound system in Cleveland...
A list of the thing that bothers me about the Q:
-pop-rap songs blaring during every stoppage in play
-a snippet from the godfather playing after Mo Williams hits a 3
-a strange tick sound when the shot-clock winds down
-super mario "1-up" soundclips played after a made free-throw
-various mocking soundclips played when an opposing player turns the ball over or misses a free throw
-and finally, the FAKE de-fense chant that blares from the loudspeakers all game!!!!!
We don't need to fake it or conspire to distract the opponent like other fraudulent crowds/arenas. Let it come naturally - plus there's just nothing more impressive than an entire crowd chanting DE-FENSE during the opponents first possession of the game.
Go C's!!!!!!!!
While I agree with you about the manufactured stuff from the Q, I think there's a big difference when it's created by the crowd. Being able to get 18,000 people screaming something has the ability to actually change the course of the game. Whether it motivates the Cavs or throws them off their game is the challenging part.
Another benefit is influencing the refs. If we just clap and cheer, that's not going to do much to the refs. If the entire crowd chants BS after a bad call, they might change their tune a little bit.
Either way, should be a fun game and I'll be getting a little belligerent, too. Go Cs!!
