I only watched the first quarter or so. What I did pick up on was that I was almost positive there was a piped-in recording of The Show doing various cheers, etc.
e.g. "Right! Right! Right!" "Left! Left! Left!" on free throw attempts, and "Seven Nation Army"'s Oh, oh oh oh oh... Oh! bit.
Now, I suppose it could have been the Clipper crowd doing that -- but... an NBA crowd... that would be strongly coincidental.

If the Clippers go into the tank this season, with a recovering Kawhi and an old in the tooth Harden and no real replacement for Paul George, I wonder how many of those first 13 rows of "fanatics" will remain on their feet all game? Ballmer may have to head over there and offer cash incentives.  |

I wonder about these "journalists" who get paid to write. The article mentions the scoreboard, " the largest double-sided halo display in an arena setting, and almost a full acre long."
Doesn't the writer know that an acre is a measure of area, not length? I have no idea how something can be almost an acre long.

Ha, ha. The state of journalism today or the state of the education system today? Both? |

However, nothing in my comment was meant to have any political connotation. It's journalism today that is sloppy with facts and writing in general, as in the article referenced above. The lack of copy editors and proof readers is obvious in so many cases. Worse yet, they won't stay off my lawn. |

I am a big nba fan (besides the point) and watched the game. It was clear that they were pumping a lot of artificial noise into the arena. No chance the atmosphere was as crazy as it sounded

No chance the atmosphere was as crazy as it sounded I already went to Intuit for one of the preseason games; the arena as a whole wasn't electric but the supporter section absolutely was. Floor mics or ones situated elsewhere are probably capturing a lot of the supporter section's noise output. |

Ha, ha. The article was written by chat AI and the editor forgot to proof read. |

Worse yet, they won't stay off my lawn. Journalism has always been sloppy propaganda in the US Before the end of the Fairness Doctrine all Americans got the same, exact propaganda from all of our mass media. That's why Americans today get the false impression the journalists of the 20th century in the US were somehow superior when they were just as awful, but most folks didn't notice since they were on the same page. It's actually sort of funny and predictable that people would see the quality in things they disagree with dwindle. |

Why would they need to credit us? We didn’t create it, nor make it popular. |

If so, why did my dad refuse to subscribe to the conservative rag that was the Union-Tribune and subscribe to the LA Times? As a political scientist he certainly could tell that all news sources back then were not the same. What you are stating is revisionist history. |

He's correct they got the idea from attending that game. If you remember USU was beating us at halftime and with the help of the show student body the Aztecs had a great second half and won the game. The student section was great in that game along with everyone else in attends. The only game that matched that was the UNM game at home for the championship. The crowd was amazing in that game. |
