With that all said there is a advantage to playing at home but I don't think it is the crowd as much as other factors. Travel, shooting background, routines and so forth.

I agree for the most part but at times the crowd does help. When we got down 17 or 18 points against Houston the crowd was energizing us after almost every made basket. Hearing a loud crowd can put a boost of adrenaline in some of the players. Some of them may not need it as much. On the road you have to be able to provide your own adrenaline. I think Kyle feeds off the crowd and I think Moore does a little as well. Gary, Jake, and Jarron are usually in business mode no matter where we are.
