One Free Throw - NBA proposal to shorten games

[Hammer]

NFL and MLB are WAY longer and need to be cut short, not NBA

 

[J-Fire]

It's shorter than football....82games is the issue and lacks meaning/being special. 60games would be fine.

 

[Schmoove]

15 second shot clock. All inbounds come from the sideline.

 

[thernbroom]

how bout u make the games commercial free, i can bet that will shorten the games a WHOLE lot....o wait yall wont do that cuz that makes yall money

This why soccer>>>>>>>>>>>NBA

 

[OsO]

once you get to 5 fouls it should be a 1-and-1. 10 team fouls gets you two shots.

they should have changed this rule a decade ago. games will be closer, better, AND shorter.

 

[Big Blue]

1 and 1 is the way to go IMO.

 

[Higher Tech]

I was under the impression that the video replay made the games last longer than needed... Why dont they fix that instead of trying to fix something that isn't even broken

Cheering for/against a 68 percent freethrow shooter at the line, down 1, with 3 seconds .....





























or but either way

They need to totally demolish and rebuild the video replay system. As it stands now, it's terrible.

They could cut out the group salutation, everytime a player shoots a free-throw

...and, I also agree on throwing commercials in the bushes

How about refs stop trying to impose themselves into the games.

Whenever players start jawing and the game gets a little more physical it's a stretch if whistle whistle whistle

So you want the refs to stop....doing their job?

Do their jobs better and exercise discretion . They go through these stretches where they get whistle heavy on ticky tack fouls, fukking up the flow of the game, refusing to let them play

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Dumb idea right there.

If they want an actual GOOD rule, make halfcourt shots worth 3.5 points

 

[mr. smoke weed]

Why though whats the point? Who wants 5 minutes of time taken off games?

A half a point.:yowtf: Just make it 4 points.

 

[TheNig]

Games ain't but 2 and a half hrs anyway.
How short do they want them to be?
