When you're the 8th seeded team playing the #1 seed, that stacked #1 seed never has to see your crowd who many times literally intimidates #1 seeds into stealing a game or two. Elite teams don't need homecourt at all to win a series. Underhanded teams need those two games that pretty much guarantee one win usually. Without those home games for the lower seed, elite teams only need to continue to strategize their way into winning which is probable with elite talent. Lack of a crowd takes much of the emotion out the game. And the best way for an underdog team to win is by turning the game into a physical emotional battle instead of a strategic one ala We Believe Warriors, 04 Pistons, etc

    Neutral courts benefit high seeded elite talent teams more than anyone.

    Neutral courts benefit neither team. There's no advantage. Neutral courts slightly benefit role-players that don't hear heckling or fan engagement. A lot of the players that have balled this series have been true hoopers who love to hoop. Kenny Smith said that. There's a reason we've seen more roleplayers go off in the bubble than being in front of crowds. Top 10 players are going to play great in a backyard, they are top players for a reason.

    No traveling benefits everyone. It's made guys play harder defense longer. People want to put astericks on the title but half those people are doing it because they hate a particular player. Toughest survive. Part of being a good NBA player is being available to your team. The team with the best players that's most available will win in the NBA. It's not one and done like football.
