At least they can hear you. Kind of. Thanks to web cams and the sharp knives in the NBA marketing drawer who made virtual fandom cool, they can even see a 2-D feed of you. Or your dog.
But they can’t feel you.
They can’t feel you in the final five minutes, when the Nuggets are down four at “home” and need a stop to get mojo flowing the other way.
They can’t feel you calling for MPJ to get the rock.
They can’t feel you rising, as one, after Bol Bol does the same.
