Whenever the team went through a slump in any game, whether they were losing or squandering a lead the crowd would rise to their feet and remain there till the Jazz got rolling again. We have a hall of fame mascot in the Jazz bear that does a tremendous job of getting the crowd pumped plus our in game announcer Dan Roberts is one of the best. Our arena is designed to filter noise to the floor and unlike the celeb's in LA, our fans are exactly that...FANZ. We don't show up in the 2nd quarter, we don't leave to beat traffic early, we're there from player intros till the confettii falls in the end. Not to mention no arena has been or will ever be louder than Utah in the playoffs.

Props to Boston fans in the finals, you really got up for your team.

So as it stands loudest playoff arenas in TODAYS NBA are:

1. UTAH
2. Boston
3. Golden State
4. Cleveland/Atlanta/Detroit
5. Hornets (Rick Flair WOOO has to go)

Umm, Arco Arena has been louder than Utah's in the playoffs before...In matter of fact, Arco has been generally louder than everyone's arenas during the playoffs in the Kings last 8 playoffs births...99-06

The Bradley center was called Arco east in 2001 when the Bucks were good. When the Bucks are winning the fans come and the fans are very loud. Greta fans here.

1. Arco Arena -- Sacramento fans tore that place up, especially since arco is so very small and the the sound bounces off everywhere.

2. Utah Jazz -- They've always been crazy and suppor their team. Gotta love their fans die hard appreciation.

3. Golden State -- Last year in the playoffs bay area fans were going nuts after over a decade of no playoffs...the oracle arena is also a small place.

4. Toronto Raptors -- I loved their chants this year...they chanted "howard, howard, howard" when he was at the line haha.

5. Tough to pick a 5th that stands out really....

New Orleans is pretty disapointing, they have a great team, but the fans just suck. I hate how the lakers dim the lights, i like seeing the fans stand up and cheer and all that.

4. Sacramento
5. Boston

Abyss Impact wrote:The reason Golden State's arena is so loud is because they haven't been to the playoffs for what? 12 years until last season, so... Watch them be a regular playoff contender and their fans will get tired and won't be as loud as last season (06-07)

You're just mad that you beloved Mickael Pietrus is disliked by most Warriors fans. I've read around the Warriors board before, and i've seen how their posters treat you. Poor guy.

Anyways, by the looks of its, Warriors fans have always been loud and loyal. Before they made the playoffs, the Warriors were tied with Detroit with the most consecutive seasons of increased fan attendance in the NBA. They've always stuck with their team even though they hadn't made the playoffs in so long. I'm assuming that if Golden State's fans were willing to stick with their team while they were in a playoff drought, then it's a pretty sure thing that they'd stick with them in the playoffs.

Even in regular season games after they made the playoffs, the arena was just as loud. I've tuned in many times on league pass whenever Golden State had a game at home. Some examples:

Golden State Warriors vs. Los Angeles Lakers

Golden State Warriors vs. San Antonio Spurs

Golden State Warriors vs. Boston Celtics

Always something to watch.

Same with Boston. Both are good basketball cities that have been waiting on good teams.

Biased pick is Utah, but it clearly is everyones favorite pick, I remember being in Energy Solutions when deron dunked on shane battier in game 4 of the first round, the arena roof almost fell off. We dont have to wait to the playoffs to have a playoff atmosphere game, we get that all season long and when you put the playoffs sticker on the court, it just makes it that much better. Dont hate on us because not all of us throw **** at the players when we lose....just some NOT ALL.

My favorite crowd was definetly Toronto, theyre chants aree amazing especially me being a huge soccer fan. Seeing a raptors game is definetly on my "must do before i die" list. Great job raptors fans, keep up the good work.

As for my worst crowd, i expected the Lakers fans to go ape **** on us when we went there, but it was pathetic. The one point i remember being disgusted witht their crowd, in Game 3 the Lakers were down and making a run to comeback and i remember looking at the crowd and seeing him stand up waving his arms in the air triying to pump up the crowd all around him....instead, he sat down in shame as no one responded, it made me laugh, i expect much more from fans that have a team as HUGE as the lakers are. had it been any other it would have been alright.

why are a bunch of people saying GS, they wernt even in the playoffs... GS>>>>>Denver tho

When the Knicks were good, I don't think any other team can top how loud the Garden gets. Let's not even talk about playoffs. The 99 Knicks when LJ hit that shot for the four-point play was just pure pandemonium. And Knicks didn't even win a ring that year. We've been waiting forever. When it happens in the distant future, the Garden will be the loudest arena. no contest.

Wow, all the people that didn't put the New York on their list are absolutely clueless. The garden in the playoffs is LOUD.

and the ownership continues to take advantage of them by raising the ticket prices. I enjoy watching the Toronto games just to see how loud and crazy the crowd will get.

The Toronto crowd is absolutely bonkers. The Atlanta crowd definitely deserves some props too. They were hungry.

Utah's crazy. They cheer for their team as loudly whether they are down 20 or up 20. That's impressive.

Toronto can get pretty crazy too.

Yeah, the Raptors' arena looks crazy during the playoffs. Especially with the sea of red.
