I agree I thought the NBA and the NFL were fine. I always preferred NFL on TV over live anyways. NBA I loved but maybe because I was so sports deprived. I watched as many games as I could stay awake for! THEEEE best sports though was my twin Grandsons working their way through Little League play offs all the way to the finals. Yes they lost in the Championship game to a team they beat during the regular season, but damm that was some great baseball!!!!It hasn't bothered me. In fact, I enjoyed the NBA playoffs more than I have in years. Until the finals that is. Finals sucked
Watching a great game Loyola/Chicago v Drake. Close game -good teams but just doesn’t seem exciting. Feels like community television.
Yup. Khalid El-Amin would agree.Nothing like a road victory in front of a hostile crowd, though.

Best of luck on that surgery Devland. Enjoy the bright colors when it’s over.I have cataracts (they are scheduled to be operated on). Talk about difficult to watch. I can tell the teams apart. It impossible to tell the players apart. Sometimes I lose track of the ball. I have to get up and walk closer to the TV to see the score.
I don't even notice anymore. Very rarely when there's a big dunk or a team makes a run and the other team calls timeout it can feel a little hollow, but otherwise I've adjusted and don't notice.
Agreed. There is a huge risk that with no crowd, mid-majors will have a hard time in The Tournament, where in past years, they would ride the energy of the crowd to upsets. It has a potential to be awful.The college basketball product is awful without fans because the players just aren't that good at basketball. The NBA may be better without fans in a bubble environment because it's such a pure form of basketball. College needs the pageantry of everything that surrounds the game.
