So far watching without fans has not been all that distracting, maybe its they can keep the camera angles tight enough that you can't really see the absence. NBA did a good job setting up the court to hide the lack of fans.
It's like watching a summer league game.
But I'm amazed at all the unused marketing space. I thought the place would be covered in ads, but it's just the NBA logo and BLM on the court. Nothing on the baseline or sidelines. Celtics name/logo taking up the background, don't they know that area can be used to drive revenue?
Just Spalding/NBA TV on the basket support, and the regular rotating ads on the scores table/sideline walls.
Thought that would all be prime real estate for sale to try to recoup some lost revenue.
