Golden State made me proud to be an NBA fan and Toronto makes me happy to be a Raptors Fan Kings are also up there, along with the Jazz probably

Golden State is the best Home Crowd from what I've seen, I've also always been amazed by how intelligent that GS forum is (including a few years ago when the Warriors were bad and the posters had no real reason to be so passionate).
It doesn't even matter to me what people thought of the Boston crowd. We're getting business done while your teams are currently sitting at home. Why shouldn't I be happy about that?

Golden State won 48 games in the West and would probably be at least third over there in that lame ass conference; taking that Eastern inflation into account.
My guess is that on average per person most European basketball crowds are more loud and noisy than the top 5 NBA arena crowds.

Teedaught, GS, Utah are all great supporters. I've been impressed with Magic fans, they may not have the endurance of the other fanbases mentioned but they can really turn things up a notch when it matters most.

The conference is indeed pathetic as a whole, and playa was mocking the Warriors for "not being in the post-season". Please, that means nothing. Further, the Lakers haven't had Gasol the entire year anyway. Nor should they be thrown in a verbal flourish that includes the Hawks.

Boston's home crowd doesn't impress me much either. Philly's did, but I'm wondering if they'd be there if Philly lost game 1
Just a random thought that has nothing to do with Playoff teams home crowds (well loosely tied with the Hornets), but I thought Oklahoma City had a pretty cool crowd when the Hornets DID have to play there. I guess it was due to the fact that they dont have an NBA team there, but I remember they would cheer for everything. On consensus, I agree that GS has some of the rowdiest fans out there, it was cool watching them in last year's playoffs. Really exciting games that would hype you up just because of the crowd reaction.
