The crowd was also totally dead, too. Completely. Like, I get the Kobe thing, but act alive. The crowd is a huge part of the psychology of the game. When you’re playing stuck in mud, it takes a while to build momentum to wake the crowd up to start to feel like you’re actually putting it together. I get that the team should show the crowd something to get them excited, but I wish collectively we could turn on the juices to kick start this stuff in situations like last night.
