But knowing what a difference their support can make (home court advantage, anyone?) the NBA is proposing a few solutions: a tap-to-cheer app and video technology that will teleport their faces court-side from the comfort of their homes.<\/p>\n

\"It's obviously very different for the players and it's different for the fans watching at home. I mean, in this sport -- like a lot of others -- there's that home court advantage, that six-man. It's the roar of the crowd, the boos of the crowd,\" said NBA commissioner Adam Silver Wednesday on CNN with Wolf Blitzer. \"We are trying to replicate that to a certain extent without piping in obvious crowd noise.\"<\/p>\n

It's still unclear what kind of difference this technology will make in the overall atmosphere of a sporting match, though.<\/p>\n
