Perhaps it's nothing to do with it but notice how when games start at 7 PM CST the crowd is dead but the past 2 games they have started at 8 PM and everyone was in their seats by tip off. Tillman should take note and at least push back the start times for games to 7:30 PM CST again like it used to be in the past. No clue what rationale led to the earlier 7 PM start time but it's not paying off. At 7 PM people are still just arriving to the arena or they are at the concessions trying to get some dinner food. Give the fans that extra 30 minutes so that they can eat/drink up and be in their seats by 7:30.
can you even do that? i thought that was a league mandated thing to be honest. teams in central time zones generally start play at 7. eastern time zone at 6. pacific at 9:30.
Earlier in the playoffs no matter the start time , the crowds have only been ok . Game 1 was absolutely incredible . Game 2 was also really good , but I would say it was a little step down from game 1 . Game 1 was the best rockets crowd I have ever seen . I expect that game 5 ( if we take one or two in Oakland) will be on par with game 1 if not better
