Why are the NBA home teams' crowds wearing all white shirts at the games?

That's because the home team always wears white jerseys and the crowd wants to match them. The only exception is the Lakers. The home crowd wears yellow at their games.

They aren't taking those games seriously anymore. Their main concern is resting their main guys so they're ready for the playoffs so they don't care if they win or lose those games. They're just trying to give their bench more playing time so it's understandable that good teams will lose some of their last games.

no, all the nba teams have team jets where they travel to all the road games. they sleep, play cards, or simply relax.

1. Like other people have said, it's to commend each others performance and boost confidence\n\n2. To qbqbqb: It's not a black thing, there are white basketball players too. Don't be racist.

When you have two teams on the same court, both sides need to be able to distinguish at a glance who they're passing to so that's the reason for the different colors between teams.  \n\nTo help limit confusion, a rule has been established that when you are playing on your home court you will wear white and when you play away from home you wear the dark colors.\n\nThe different colors between teams such as red, black, orange, etc. are determined by the teams and usually have something to do with their home towns colors, but not always.

It keeps them warm so they can run looser and because the NBA overcools arena's.

I heard this explanation during a telecast:\n \nMost teams have 3 sweaters; one white, one dark, and a third alternative sweater for special occaisions (e.g. national televised games, holiday games, etc).  The third sweaters are also dark, with special graphics.  If dark jerseys are for away games, the teams would have to pack both the standard away and the alternative jerseys.  If white is the away color, it makes it easier; simply pack only the white jerseys for road trips.

There are 450 NBA players (broken down into 15 players for each of the 30 teams).  \n\nAs the NBA has done away with the injured reserve, each team has 15 players that are eligible to play in every game.  However, teams must inform the NBA of the 12 active players they will be fielding in an hour before tip off.\n\nLastly, the minimum number of players that must dress for a game is 8.\n\nHope this was helpful.

The change was made because of the introduction of third jerseys. It was not "change for the sake of change" – it was done because teams traveling on the road found that they had to bring both dark and white jerseys with them on their road trip, because some opponents wore the standard white jerseys, while others wore the (usually dark) third jerseys which have been around since 1996-97.\n\nTo allow teams to travel light, the NHL switched the home/road jersey color so that road teams could always know that they'd only need to bring a white jersey.

The last sell-out crowd happened in 2001, Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals between them and the Lakers in which they had control of the whole game until they forgot to play in the last 4 minutes of the game. After that, Portland went and did a revamp on their team I dont know for what.....maybe to be the worst team in the NBA....and they succeeded.

Because their Jerseys are blue. Some people claim that it is also the color of the house of savoia, one of the ruling dinasties .

the fans wear the predominant color (home) of the Heat to show allegiance to their team during the playoffs - a tradition done throughout pro sports in many cities.
