    I don’t even notice the difference. The pace of basketball helps. The only time it’s noticeable for me is when play stops. I hope they don’t pump crowd noise once the real games start. I don’t think it’s needed like some other sports.

    I for one will definitely miss the crowd noise, especially in the playoffs. It just doesn't feel important without noise, more like a summer league game. I also don't like how the players on the bench are so far away you can't even see their reactions. It's the best I could expect, just miss the real thing.

    He’ll be good as long as he stays healthy. Watched him at the hoop summit and thought he was the best player on the court. Saw him in the g league and thought he was good on both ends. Wish we had a second round pick, he’s exactly the type of player you take a chance on.

    I wonder if they are introducing starting lineups with no crowd there. Also- assume they aren’t doing an anthem? If they’re flying in singers, I’m in.

    Amazing. Nuggets started Bol at SF and Jokic at PG. I want to see them play Rockets.

    Is this a sign of the NBA changing back into a more of a big man's game?

    and given him a a guaranteed contract? No thanks.

    and little will end up being a value pick before it’s said and done. We need a guy like him more than another big.
