Houston Rockets head coach Mike D’Antoni shared his thoughts on playing without fans when the NBA restarts the season.

The veteran coach believes some players might actually perform better without fans in the seats.

Mike D’Antoni on no fans: “I think it’s a big deal..Some guys I think will perform even better without the pressure of fans. Is there home-court advantage now, no. If you’re not the higher seed maybe that’s an advantage for the lower seed…Definitely interesting.” pic.twitter.com/Jaq7lRAe4u
