It's a television product and clearly the audience through the tv networks have spoken. No reason why the last couple mins gotta last a half hour between time outs, commercials and reviews. Only you would spin this into a bad thing.

Audience has spoken by increasing viewership?
Nah the audience isn't speaking, this is derived from white nerds who don't matter trying to compare the US to rulesets in euro ball.

how have you spoken facts the audience wants good product, we saw in the finals the NBA isn't hurting for viewership.
We see in attendance they aren't hurting in attendance
we even say in the all-star game they aren't hurting in attendance or ratings, this is documented.
So help me understand how I"m wrong, when I support my side as well.

Not if the networks find that dragged out end of games induced channel flipping like the hack a dre did.
Do we need 10 mins for a flagarant foul review though? Stopping the game to see if it's a 2 or a 3? Stopping a game to double check if it's continuation. That shyt adds up
The only people I saw complain about this were talking heads on ESPN. The timeouts were fine. They are just tinkering with shyt to tinker with shyt. The sports media got them to tweak the "hack a shaq" rules too by constantly complaining about one years playoffs where only 2 or three players were rightfully constantly hacked cause they can't shoot fukking free throws.
I'm not saying that the NBA shouldn't be proactive in looking for ways to improve the game, but don't change some shyt when the sports media is the main people complaining. Most these nerds never even played organized basketball a day in they life and weren't even good enough to make their high school team.

I'm starting to think we won't see it and it's due to logistics the NBA can't fixAnything on 1-16 playoffs
