NBA finally addressing the end of game problem it has

[Big Boss]

The NBA shouldn't change anything

The problem is not casual fans.

The problem is the # of TV timeouts.

Teams hardly have e to use their timeouts anymore. So they save almost all of them at the end.

I don't mind calling timeouts to advance the ball...but let it be just for that. So less full timeouts and more shorter ones

It is so simple and obvious and I am that people are making this seem so complex. You added TV timeouts, so how is it not obvious that you should just takeaway team timeouts? Or you can put a cap on how many timeouts a team can take into the final 2 minutes. Use em or lose em.

There is nothing casual about wanting to watch actual basketball rather than the b*stardized form that close games often turn into late. It is supposed to be up and down with guys going both ways not glorified half court with offensive/defensive lineups being alternated. Beyond that, I thought nikkas had love for the casual fan. Cats stay making platinum threads on some "whoa is the fan that doesn't fukk with his own team AND isn't keeping up with how the league works now" type shyt whenever Bron sits out.

This talk of casual fan doesn't mean sense, I've been watching the NBA for nearly 20 years and I find it a problem. My "chance" is that I dl games so I can fast forward all the reviews and time-outs are edited out, even when I can watch live (due to time difference) I don't because it's just too damn long.

How can a 48 minute basketball game last longer than a 90 min football game

TV timeouts are never going away since they're paid for. Just have one timeout per quarter with no carry overs.

shyt frustrates the hell out of me while they take their slow ass time
