Lowe: The Basketball Tournament Rule Change That NBA is Watching

Every game would have a game winning shot though. How cool would that be?

There could also be some cool stats to come out of this. There would be a cool clutch stat to measure player performance after the rule triggers.


When I think about it, the only thing I would miss is the sense of fighting against the clock. Like a team being down a point and having 5 seconds left in the game to get a shot. That would largely be lost besides going against a shot-clock. That would be a missed moment in teh NBA, but I think there would be enough exciting moments generated from the new rule to offset by a lot.
 
You could get real crazy. Each quarter is a25 point set. First team to win 3 quarters wins. Same games would be decided in just 3 quarters some in 5.

lmao, I knew you would like this. I remember when you posted the article on a rule idea to get the midrange shot back with bonus zones.

I think that game point possessions would be way better than short game clock possessions.

Yeah, anyone who plays pickup knows how intense those possessions are. You could have 4 of those in a row in a NBA game (if both teams are within a basket of winning and they get back-to-back stops each), all being equally as tense as a singular last possession under the old rules.
 
Guys - golf is taking too long to play and watch and boring, let's just make it 15 holes instead of 18 holes.



That's gonna make golf more popular as well, the less holes, the more scarce, the more popular it will be.

If you want to be a basketball purist then you should be against the shotclock, the three point line, restricted area etc.
 
They could replace the pitcher with a maxhine and end strike outs. If more balls were fielded and more dudes got on base it might be worth watching.

IDK, the best part of baseball is watching a good pitcher. The part that sucks about that is that you have to watch a ton of down time between pitches.

Double plays are cool. Watching a great pitcher strike out dude after dude is a drag, imo. Maybe they could move the mound back 15 feet?
 
Playing pickup basketball to 21 is a good analogy of this new rule. When you get to around 17 points the intensity and defense picks up considerably. The offense would have to be more precise and it would make each possession more valuable.
