    That makes more sense. I mean if Nurk can sit on the bench without a mask, you would think he would be out of any covid protocol.

    Can't wait to see Hoodie in this game. See how he's moving and how his shot looks. Should be interesting. Also excited to get some Nurk again. I still think Nurk is the second best player on this team and this season he's going to prove it.

    What looking for on Stotts rotation in the 1st half this might show how he going to rotate the guards and the bigs. Is going use Hood as a 2 or 3 or both.

    I have to say i liked it at first.

    Then i started listening for Melo. He is vocal.
    Now i get mad when crowd noise blocks out enough to where i cant decipher his words.

    listening to them on the court is somewhat new and to me, fascinating. I want more.
    Screw the crowd noise. Gimme the player chat and smack talk!!

    @Darkwebs
    Question title i believe means "Artificial" crowd noise.

    I cannot believe 9 people actually like that?

    Problem i have with it is it isn't remotely timed correctly. They are screaming their heads off in the first quarter during a free throw.
    During actual games there are highs and lows. This is just plain noise.

    Since HCP has lost his job starting game threads, I wonder if he could be put to better use. I wouldn't be so against the phony crowd noise if they did a good job of it. Are they using actual crowd noise from previous games? If they are, they are really botching it. It just doesn't have right sound to it at the right times.

    Replace the fake crowd noises with livestock noise. If the Blazers are losing in the 4th, switch to slaughterhouse sounds. Make sure to get film of Silver stroking out!
