The first game of the post-LeBron James era featured a standing room only-level crowd in Miami and a convincing 107-95 win over the Washington Wizards. Chris Bosh dominated as he warmed to his role as a go-to guy, finishing with 26 points, 15 rebounds and four assists. Miami crushed the Wizards on the glass, taking advantage of the suspension Wizards big man Nene received during the exhibition season, and all in all it should have been a very satisfying night for Heat fans.
The Heat still, um … they kind of still pump in crowd noise. I’m watching the archived game right now, and there’s that underlying hum that isn’t commensurate with what is going on between the lines.
In the middle of his team’s loss, Washington Wizards broadcaster Steve Buckhantz noticed as much, and called the American Airlines Arena crew for adding a little extra on top:
The quote:
"They've gone to the canned crowd noise here in Miami. Which is, I guess, something you have to do when LeBron James leaves."
Steve can be an irascible sort, you would be too if you had to deal with various Wizards lineups through the years, and while he may come off as a bit of a sourpuss, he isn’t wrong.
