No fans in the stands means Houston winning the chip harden won’t be nervous and no fans means it’s like practice russ a sniper from 3 in practice

GOING TO WORK IS NOT WORTH YOUR HEALTH AND LIFE. GREED KILLS. THIS ECONOMY ISNT STARTING UNTIL TESTING IS WIDESPREAD AND RAPID.

Just cancel the season we got 5 weeks of Michael Jordan (10 weeks if you stretch it out)

Jay Williams is as sharp as a tack; he has the aptitude of an attorney. He latches onto the emotional susceptibility that Pierce unwittingly exudes with every word he says (he does this often since Paul is a man-baby). Compliments him as he fondles his ego while smuggling in some solid supporting examples to make his case. It's deliberate and disguised ratiocination that doesn't come off as snooty but secures the talking point, wins the crowd, likely wins over his colleagues (on the point of contention), and distracts us from realizing how much of a bumbling degenerate reporter Pierce is. That's talent.

Someone who truly has a deep love for the game of basketball will play anywhere, anytime, and without fans. They should start doing this A.S.A.P.

Hasn't this video been made by you guys like 50x?

NBA is moving to China y'all. Adam Silver made a deal with the devil.

Not great but of the three major sports I think Basketball would be the best of the 3. Basketball is played indoors with less players.People will revolt and have events on Indian Reservations and offshore if this is happening in 2021. you can't keep people locked down for that long. I do think you could have a nobody rookie second stringer go off for 11 out of 13 3's because of the different no pressure conditions of no crowd in a deserted gym.

I need the NBA right now
-
no Home court advantage
-
All i know is that they are gonna need the best commentators on deck
-
play in Hawaii!!!

Absolutely no fun to watch without a full home crowd of fans surrounding the game. The home stadium with home fans is absolutely a critical part of the entertainment. Otherwise, it's just a pick-up game at the local 24-hour fitness gym. This is really forcing it if they really try to play in empty quarantined spaces with no real crowds, and even worse, no home crowds or home court atmosphere. Then the regular season will count for nothing, and there will be no home court advantage. Just cancel the season, and build up the excitement for next season with proper arenas and all the injured superstars being able to rest fully and come back even stronger and with a lot of extra hype. Gap Year!!!

THIS WACK AF THE AGENDA IS TO RIG THE LAKERS A CHIP WITH NO FANS WACK AF THEY NEED TO JUST CANCEL IT
-
Whoever wins this year chip will be extremely legendary. We’ll know this team is legit and not fake. Doesn’t care about the fame or the people watching. Just plays for the love of the game and competes hard no matter what. It would be way harder to compete at the highest level in an empty gym.
-
Just play a 2k track thru the speakers. Loud cheers block out the cussing. We can still watch the crowd less games HA
-
I never seen or heard Pierce talk about his career before KG and Allen

so if a person, who is a nobody has an idea that would give the NBA safe fans and sound during games. so that the people at home don't just hear grunts, shoes, and four letter words? How could i get the information to the NBA? I'm a nobody old man from Iowa, but i know a true fix. But i dont know anyone who i could give this info to. so i'm here hoping someone that matters reads this. No BS i can fix the sound problem and you can make ads on it.
