Home Court advantage = Not an advantage now because of no-live audience?

[pilosopotasyo]

They will get used to it and the best team will emrge now that there is no live audinces that sometimes annoy players when taking free shots or free throw, but it's still how the players react now that there are no audiences anymore, they must not think that it's like a practice or exbition and they must treat it as real games.

[Kasabus]

If you come think of it, even if there is what we call a "home-court advantage", there is really no assurance that the home team will win, even if the statistics show they win most of the wins, there is still a small margin between the wins on a home court and wins outside of the home court. I still believe that the outcome of a match depends on how the players perform on the field, audience or no audience, the performance and the efficiency of the players would still be a key factor in winning a game or losing it.

The only advantage of home court now is the comfort ability knowing that what you practised all happens within that premises or area. Even there's no audience but being comptable in the area will make our move smoother, thou it will really depend on the teams determination and how they really play. They will win as long as they will do what is needed and know how to manage their game whenever they are.

No, in NBA there's only one venue that is going to be used when the season will resume so they players will not travel from time to time and they can closely monitor the situation, I think the same goes with other sports, that is why there's no home court advantage.

[KrisAlex18]

I don't think so, home court is a really great advantage for the players because that us the place where they did their practice, so it's easy for them to do the things they have done on their practice. The crowd or the audience is just a bonus for them but it won't affect their performance in the game, the audience is just there to support and yell for them that motivates them to do more but actually for me, it would not affect them even though there are no people who will shout them during the game because if they really want to win the game they will do their best no matter what situation is.

Most players practice at their home court, they know the advantage and disadvantages of the court. I do not think non live audience will affect them in any ways. Playing in their home court automatically will boost their morale, having an audience is an added advantage.

Well said, that is why most of the player who has the home-court advantage is very organized on what they are doing, it would not be called as "home court advantage" if the place is not on their side.

Yes the crowd cheering is one of the key factors to boost players fighting spirit especially if they're about to lose. We've seen it in NBA team like GSW but other team does not benefit from these because it puts pressure on a player to not let down their supporters.

If you are too focused on your game, you probably won't often remember that people are watching from home or far from the stadium/court. The sounds and presence of fans could drive players to move or not move in certain ways/direction.

Distractions can be created with huge noise coming from the fans who are cheering with the team that they are supporting,
from this view, home court advantages are very possible.
But with many events where professional players who are well trained from this kind of audiences they are no longer affected
as focused are always there once they've step inside the court / stadiums.

Some kinds of sports are better played without people and noise though . The reward is usually enough incentive.

Some games needs quite place not to be bothered by anyone, depends from player/s.

Snooker is a sport that needs a quiet place but without any crowd it is just weird. There is also no real home advantage.
Playing without crowd can be good for some players but other players just excel when there is crowd (like Ronnie O Sullivan).

GSW is a good team, they have a very lively crowd as well but they are not a good team this season, so maybe we will can forget them for for a while and let Curry and Thompson fully recover from injury to bring back the old GSW whose been dominating the league for many seasons in the past.

Yes, there is no crowd anymore for NBA, and the crowd is one of the big advantage to make the players play an inspired basketball but we know what the situation is, we can't implement what is not anymore possible since it would only make the problem worst.

Get used to it, NBA players will still play while we gather in our respective home and enjoy watching a live games on TV.

Home court is still a good advantage of the player players even though there is no live audience because that place is where they did their practice so it's not hard for them to do the things whether they have done on their practice. There are many players who are really good while playing in their home court because they know what to do and they are comfortable while playing, the audience is an only bonus because they are the ones who are shouting and motivating the players but it won't affect the performance of the players even though there is no audience on the court.

This is true that there are some players who just excel in their home ground as compared to other palaces. In some of the sports where the audience may not play that bigger role it would not be real issue but in sports where the audiences cheer the players and the team may be effected by it as many times that boost changes the momentum in the game.

Its been proven out but numbers or percentage isnt really that big compared to the games that they are playing or not into their own homecourt.
I agree though that it do really have that impact into its players when it comes to boosting up their confidence or other similar feeling since they
do know that there are people around whom do mainly support them.

It do have PROS and CONS and we know on which one would be heavily impacted when it comes to pressure which is on the opposing team and give positive
boost up into the supported team which is common and thats what makes the sport event more interesting when we you do see a crowd.

I can't imagine what kind of game that doesn't have an audience it seems like a practice game. I guess this is now the new normal until the vaccine is released. I agree that the crowd cheering may help the players to boost their fighting spirit especially if that is their homw court. A very big advantage but it seems that would not going to happen until this new normal ends.

That's the new normal, something that we have to get used to while we are still under this covid-19 pandemic.
Don't expect that we can have the same experience before because it's really different now, it's even a blessing that soon we will once again enjoy watching our favorite games live in TV. For bettors like me, it's not really a big deal though, what's important is odds are available and I can bet.

It would probably like a practice game or a private game, This would be the new normal environment for the players. It is expected by the players that they would play with no fans in the event place for their own safety. I also think they are also mentally ready that they themselves will the only people who can cheer themselves and boost their fighting spirit to win the game. There are players who aren't really affected by the fans which are a neutralizing effect on them. Being on a homecourt with no live audience for me is the same as playing on the opponent's court without live-audience. Fans biased cheers are the one who has a really big effect on the team's homecourt.

The audience plays a huge role in any form of sport because player/s will get more confidence if there are more people to support them other than this the surface of the ground don't have much role to play to decide who is going to win except some kind of sports.In my opinion if there is no audience to cheer up the player then the same will become lifeless.

Home court advantage can still be an advantage, if you are playing on the same court that you and your team had been practicing with it can still play a huge role when playing. It is true that audience impact plays a huge role when playing sports such as basketball, football, baseball and etc. but this is one of the adjustments that has to be done since the pandemic has started. I guess all sports events will resume with a limited audience in it or none at all.

Audiences boost up the morale of each player and their cheers can lift their spirit up when they are inside the court.

There are no advantages right now in the NBA with the new format that they released. The only advantage that I see on it is that if the number of players who are willing to play is low then that could be an advantage. Another one is that if the player has symptoms of the virus then he will be quarantined and will not play and that could be an advantage for the other team or worse, that could be a reason to stop the whole season too.

Then the players need to familiarize themselves to play without an audience because this pandemic makes people stay at their homes. Some people will not risk going to places because they care about their health, and they also don't want to get infected from people they don't know. Perhaps the audience can give their support another way because they don't want to see their teams lose confidence without the audience. But perhaps, people will hope that they can visit the places and not have a problem following every protocol before they can enter the stadium.

[Debonaire217]

IMO, the answer is still yes, because the audience is just one of the factors that boost the gameplay of a team especially if they are in their home court, and the other factor I see is the familiarization of the players to their court, which makes them believe and think that they can certainly win the game as their opponents will still adapt and adjust to the environment they have.

Though the pressure that the audience induces to the players will not be there, I think it could directly impact the performance of both teams negatively.

I think players will have more focus on their game. Because the shouting of the audience, the pressure (if there's any) are factors that somehow affect their performance. If they are alone in the court, they can focus more on their game. I don't know what kind of effect will it be to the players having a silent background while playing. So we will not be talking home court advantage for the time being.

Most players used to get confidence from the crowd too. For example in tennis when you serve a good short, you are applauded by everyone and it  gives you some extra bit of confidence. If you perform good, having crowd to watch you give you more happy feeling. On the other hand if you are losing, you will want no one to watch that match.

[aioc]

There will be no advantage anymore, it's up to the players to motivate himself, every player pick their momentum and motivation to the crowds but it's now different we are in a new normal and they should learn how to motivate themselves and comes out with a great game despite the absence of the crowd.

Yes, sports personals have to adapt to the situation if this pandemic get more longer without any solution.But for now, making people enter into the stadiums no matter after any kind of test because people has risk of getting infected by covid 19.
