AD basically carried them through the entire game but all of the highlights will be Lebron. Maybe he’ll resign with them, but that has to be discouraging.

Never realized before how much of a difference fans make. Watched a bit of both games and honestly just could not get into it at all, it looked like a practice scrimmage. Without the energy and noise of the fans it's just not the same at all.

Mostly off Lebron pick and roll feeds from what I saw and the rest off theatrical flailing of arms into FTs.

It's interesting because I felt the complete opposite. I thought it was great. I've been watching Premier League and now NBA and I guess I'm just so jacked that sports are back I don't even care about the fans being gone.

I do miss the fans as they were a fun part, but I'm happy as a clam right now :lol:

Lack of fans didn't matter to me at all. Both games went down to the wire and were fun to watch.

You miss some cool moments with fans but make it up better camera angles and unique reaction from the bench. Love watching Sam. Just glad it's back

I think the biggest fear of no fans was that it would feel like guys were playing at half-speed because there were no fans to feed off of. But it certainly didn't feel like there was a lack of intensity in either game, especially down the stretch

No fans didn't bother me at all. Lebron is still gong to be a big problem. Hate to say it but if I was picking I'd take both LA teams over us, not drastically or anything but like 55/45. Which still might technically make us the favorite since our route to get there is easier and they split the other side of the percent.

Baseball is pretty empty in terms of excitement without fans
Football is going to be bad if they ever play

I barely noticed the no fans last night in Lakers/Clippers

I just think they need to throw a bit more game ops music out there to add a better vibe

But, I had no problem getting into it. You could tell the players were.

Anybody who's watched the Bucks play at home should be used to games with no fan engagement.

I think part of the lacking excitement stems from the NBA delaying their playoffs. This RS stuff feels unnecessary.

All things considered I thought the broadcast looked great. The virtual fans is a little gimmicky but I honestly didn't hate it. It was certainly better than the stupid video game fans baseball tried.

So far I have to tip my cap to the NBA.

Wouldn't mind a little more lighting on the bench to see some reactions

I think the majority of people will agree some sort of regular season was needed. Imagine going straight to playoffs, it would be horrible. Completely rusty basketball with a high potential for injuries. This way they can slowly ramp back up to full speed.

Honestly felt like a first round of March Madness type atmosphere through the tv, which wasn’t a bad thing.

A 1st round matchup against BKN is gonna be real nice.

Nurkic is so huge for Portland defensively. They are like a different team with him on the court.

This is why I am not scared of the Lakers.

If you can't hit above league average from three, Bud's system will crush you.

The Memphis/Portland game feels like a playoff game
