Can you show me where I ever once said “it wasn’t loud, you’re wrong.” I don’t think so.



Yeah, of course, but only to an extent. I still think it’s weird that many other users were saying the same thing as me. I figure Either the network was squelching the sound for only the blazers or people on this forum got it wrong (it’s not exactly easy to estimate decibel levels in a stadium and determine if it’s louder than other stadiums). I still think either is possible, but I do take into consideration the subjective opinions of many users here swearing it was loud. Not sure why y’all care so much about what I think but hey - I’m flattered.

Why is it a big issue to me? Because I believe the crowd has a huge influence on the game, I think the blazer fans haven’t lived up to their past levels of enthusiasm, and I suspected that happened in this game.

Question since we are all having this marvelous discussion on crowd noise. I guess this is directed to people who work behind the scenes. Don't the sound engineers pull out some of the crowd noise for TV ? I dj'd over in Germany for a year and a lot of times I opened for a band at some clubs and they would let me sit in with the sound engineer there. I could adjust the vocals of the band or riffs on guitar solo's and or drum solo's. So am I wrong on that assumption?

Yes, it was loud during the game. Coming home and watching the ABC broadcast on my DVR, the first thing I noticed was how upfront and loud the commentary was, and how much quieter the crowd level was compared to it. Haven't seen another ABC game to compare it to.

I already pointed this out.
But conveniently they guy who insists we are wrong skipped that part of my first post....

There used to be another guy around here that would dismiss relevant parts of a post and try to only dissect the portion that fits their narrative and focus on that... hmmmm
Geee
Wonder who that was..?????

Anything @Nurkalicious says is gospel and how dare anyone disagree with him.
Thank you for gracing us mere peasants mr almighty.
Please tell us everything you know about basketball.
This forum is now on notice to sit in awe of your knowledge.

You're clearly superior to anyone who's ever been a part of this forum.

I don’t have a problem with it, you were playing victim by saying I falsely accused you of being part of a witch hunt. I simply showed your behavior justified my comments.

“I did not insult you. I called your posts silly.”

This is such a bad-faith summary of your behavior towards me that I can safely conclude you aren’t being genuine, and this conversation is a waste of time. Im putting you on ignore. Goodbye.

Ahahahah

This is almost verbatim a post from cup to me a month or so ago.

Welcome back cup. Hahahahhahaha

“All I can tell you”

Sounds super presumptuous.

You guys really think highly of your subjective opinions. It couldn’t possibly be that you thought the game was louder than it was - or that you forgot the numerous lulls in the crowd noise (I.e. in the second and third quarter especially) and remembered the intense moments. Nope. All those fans we could see on TV sitting for most of the entire game in the 100-Section were really loud, you were just fooled by their mouths being closed! Oh and those other games in other stadiums where the crowd was visibly standing and screaming all game and the noise was much louder on the same network... that was all a big conspiracy. (Sarcasm)

Plus, what are you comparing the noise to? You aren’t using objective measures like decibels, you’re just saying “it sounded loud to me” without comparing that loudness to other stadiums at all.

I’m not really sure if it was relatively loud or not, I simply said it didn’t seem like it on TV, and no one has made a compelling argument against this observation. You all just keep saying “sounded loud to me” like this is something that’s supposed to blow my mind and end the discussion.

That being said, I already stated I would “take your word for it” so you can stop complaining about this whenever you want.

My advice to you is take the TV off mute or get a hearing aid.

That could be true (and probably is) and it still wouldn’t change the fact that none of you are capable of presenting ANY objective data on how loud the crowd was vis-a-vis other stadiums.

If the blazer crowd actually broke records for crowd noise in the 2nd and 3rd quarter I’ll eat my hat. The 100-Section looked dead on TV for most of the second and third quarter - barely any chants were audible. I don’t know how to reconcile this with what you guys keep repeating. repeating “it sounded loud to me” does not really prove anything. Believe it or not (people like @Propagandist ) saying “stop talking sub human rookie scum” also does not prove anything.

Why do you always argue just state your opinion and move on.

If the clown thinks Moda was loud for game 1. Then it was loud.


The Blazers were lights-out great in the first quarter, scoring 39 points -- five better than any quarter they’d managed vs. OKC this season. They won the game in that one quarter. Aside from the actual basketball, I thought the home crowd provided a huge lift.

Moda Center was loud. Ear-splitting, even.

Be sure OKC will rebound in Game 2. Paul George won’t be as bad as he was in Game 1. Not possible. He was terrible, on a lot of wide-open shots. So I think winning Game 2 is going to require a more complete effort from Portland,

and that will include another stellar performance from the home crowd.

Taking bets on who @SlyPokerDog calls out next.
Was Lillard, then it was Stotts forcing CJ to play, now it's the crowd.

I’m just getting sick of the handful on here who continue to get preferential treatment from the mods! Just because they’re the forum cool guys. They let them treat people bad and they can say whatever they want and nothing happens to them!

So are you and your fellow mods denying you let certain posters get away with more. Just because they are one of the cool guys? That they can treat people a certain way that others can't???? I can send you links that show you let them do this without punishment. Treat us all the same man! Just because somebody doesn't have as many posts as somebody else shouldn't matter. Just because somebody might pump gas or somebody might be the CEO of a company, that shouldn't matter! This forum is a place for all fans from all walks of life to come together and talk all things Blazers. Lets get this place dialed in or you might start losing some members.
I'm not going to tell you how to do your job, but I for one have had it with the preferential treatment. It HAS to stop for the betterment of the forum!

TPFKATHCP is right. Just because he mows lawns for a living doesn't mean he shouldn't be treated with the same respect as everyone else.
 
Wait.... strike through the name? Clever!

Buh bye.
