A few thoughts for those fortunate enough to be going to the game, especially if its your first playoff game:
a) As others have stated, please dont chant anything negative towards our players / coaches, even if things arent looking good. I cant imagine that putting them down will urge them on to victory. So stay positive!
b) Save all your negative energy / chants for Atlanta. The harassment of Mike Bibby should continue, and it should extend to other Hawks players. It clearly got on his nerves the first 2 games.
c) be kind and help out other people who are trying to get a chant going, even if no one else around you has picked up on it yet.
d) dont be afraid to stand up and yell loud and often. I've been to plenty of playoff games where, remarkably, the people around me would be silent. Moreover, some of the people around me have even complained about my volume level or shouted at me to sit down (which was the only time they made any noise). Dont let these people dictate your rowdiness, or make you feel uncomfortable about yelling ALL THE TIME! If they dont like it, they probably shouldnt be at the game.
e) If you havent lost your voice after the game, you havent done your job.
Not that anyone will listen to my advice, but I think its always good to remind people its okay to be loud, and you should be loud. And the more you chant, the more others around you feel comfortable chanting also.
