Chris Webber Criticizes Bucks Home Crowd
Milwaukee Bucks found themselves on TNT for the third or fourth time this season. The duo Marv Albert and Chris Webber were calling the game. Believe it or not, that’s the premier broadcast team for TNT. It’s the one flaw in TNT’s game. Albert should not be their main guy at this point of his career nor should Webber be the guy next to him. Brian Anderson is a perfect guy to be the lead play-by-play guy for TNT but I digress. Albert and Webber were in Milwaukee for the first time this season, and the former Sacramento Kings star kept ragging on the home crowd. I did not get it at all. It is clear how out of touch he is with games outside the national landscape because that thing is usually loud.
This isn’t a sensitive Milwaukee thing, rather, it’s a ‘National media member made a dumb fucking comment’ thing. Fiserv Forum has been loud all year. Could it have been the opponent? Yes, people don’t get dialed up for Indiana. Could it have been the fact Milwaukee had a commanding lead throughout the game? Also yes, there’s a good chance of that as well. There were many variables for the crowd noise being a little more diluted than it’s been at other games. I would invite Webber to stick around and listen to crowd noise on Saturday night versus Charlotte.
It’s going to be funny when C-Webb comes back here in April and May and it’s going to be off the goddamn rails in there. Playoff basketball for the Bucks is unlike anything you hear from a noise perspective. They were loud last year at Miller Park, but I’d argue the stadium atmosphere makes things much louder. Excited to see if Tyra Banks’ former beau changes his tune at all.
