Empty arenas and you can’t even close out on shooters now.

It definitely is, not even debatable.

Players immediately started shooting better when you compare games from the regular season with crowds vs in the bubble and now.

Crowds and crowd noise is very off putting for many shooters.

Empty arenas, and there's an increase in number of teams shooting the corner 3 at a high % rate. Either due to coaching, offseason development, both.

2 seasons ago only 4 teams shot 42%+ from the corners.
Now we have ~10 teams shooting 42%+, and LAC shoots 52% from there.
