We knew it was going to be tough for Chase Center to consistently recreate the same kind of raucous environment that persisted throughout the ups and downs the Warriors experienced while housed at Oracle Arena. However, regardless of how you feel about the move, you have to admit, Golden State's new home hasn't exactly had a fair shot to prove itself in that way.
Yes, fans packed Oracle through many lean years and still created one of the most significant home-court advantages in the NBA. But given the tremendous highs the franchise experienced immediately prior to the current extreme lows, the fact that the roof hasn't regularly been blowing off of Chase in its inaugural season is a lot more explainable.
