re: Is it possible that OKC's loud arse fans are a disadvantage for the Thunder??

I gave it a quick glance so I could be wrong, but I believe Miami only lost once at home against the West, Memphis.

I think you're right.

but also notice (although I know it doesn't mean shite at this point in the season) how bad OKC destroyed Miami at home in the regular season, but they played a pretty tight game in Miami and lost by like 5 or 6. It just seems like if things aren't going perfect for the away team, it's very easy to go from kind of bad to really shitty in the 4th quarter and I think a lot of that can be attributed to the fans.

One big shot or defensive play for OKC seems to put the other team in some kind of quick sand. I know that can be said anytime a game is somewhat close and the other team makes a great play, but it also feels like that crowd can compile even more pressure on an already stressful situation.
