Watching the Magic vs. Clippers game right now (never thought i'd be so excited to say that) and I have a few observations:
1.) It looks great on TV
2.) The lack of crowd *noise* is odd, but unlike other leagues where you can see empty seats, the NBA has an advantage in that there is no seats! The camera's are doing a good job at focusing on only the court too, which helps. So while it is audibly jarring, visually, it doesn't look as weird.
Also, on the MLS side of things, the 9am games have been great timing for me, although for the last three days there's been a grand total of 1 goal in the 9am games, so the play has been hard to get behind sometimes. The Miami/NYC game was especially rough the other day. But i'm starting to pick up on the rules more and more and getting into it! You may have made me a fan of the sport, @Legacy.
I haven't heard any bleeping yet. You actually can't really hear the players. The sounds seems more focused on the court. The Fox Sports announcers said that there are 32 mics under the court to pick up sound, possibly to try and cover up a bit for some language.Did they have to bleep out any words or can you hear much of the trash talk?

So I’m assuming this is a temporary bowling alley in a convention center? For them to let them go to Splitsville would be a major risk, although it never has reopened to the public.
Could've been they aren't allowed to wear communal shoes?Haha. Bowling in their basketball kicks? No bowling shoes available?

Also could be they just didn't want to put on bowling shoes and prefer their basketball shoes.True, but they usually disinfect the rental shoes after each return like how the guy is disinfecting the bowling balls in the picture you showed so I'm not sure that would be an issue. Unless they don't have adequate stock of size 13+ required for NBA players.
A bit. Maybe. It’s never been a real advantage for us before.Watching the knockouts tonight. Something I hadn’t thought about is the humidity and how Orlando is used to playing in it. That actually may give them a weird sense of home field advantage as this goes along.
