    First off, they always play that artificial crowd noise, even when fans are there. Second, the energy in the broadcast would be dead without it. I like it.

    Little labeled a guard. Never woulda thunk that.

    Collins a center and Giles a forward.

    Honestly the game is too fast paced for me to even notice the crowd noise. Or maybe I’m just too high during games idk.

    Interesting to me is that Covington, Jones, Hood, and Trent are about the same size in length and weight (208-210 lbs) but will be playing a much different role.

    HELL YEAH! Feels like home DW!!!! I compare your game threads to Mrs HCP's cab driver's threads and it's the difference between live fans and cardboard cutouts!

    I do understand why they are doing it and yes i agree that the energy would be very different probably even dead as you say. For that point i would also agree it serves a purpose.
    However during games with fans they actually use it only during specific times. They play music and rally type sounds to get the crowd to react. Then they also use the video board to create atmosphere. The combination is welcome for the fan experience.
    My problem is with the constant simple fake noise that seems to have absolutely no rhyme or reason to it they are playing even when play is at a stand still. That makes no sense to me.

    Bottom line- If this is the only thing i have to complain about i really don't have any complaints. Glad they are playing and i have the Blazers to watch.

    Why is Barclay centers setup so nice compared to other arenas during preseason? They have a bubble like setup, everything blacked out, enhanced lighting, looks dope. Should be mandatory during the regular season. Looks so much better

    No, it sounds like he's in Sacramento, nursing his injury.

    So, assuming CJ and Dame aren't going to play many minutes, who plays PG when neither is on court?

    I would have hoped that our roster wouldn't feature so many "nose out" morons. You needed more marker.
