Not only has the Jimmy Butler trade turned the tide on the Golden State Warriors’ season since the forward’s arrival, but it’s also turned the tide on how people think of the Chase Center crowd.
Mike Breen, ESPN’s veteran play-by-play announcer for nationally televised games, gave the Dubs’ San Francisco crowd a huge shout-out during an appearance on KNBR-AM/FM on Monday. His Chase Center compliments were the first things he said to hosts Greg Papa and Greg Silver.
“I know it’s blasphemy to ever compare anything to the sound of Oracle, but man, the atmosphere the other night was maybe the loudest for a regular-season game that I’ve heard at the Chase Center,” Breen, who called Saturday’s game against the Knicks, said.
