Lowe: The Basketball Tournament Rule Change That NBA is Watching

Hmmm, only problem with that is you risk extremely long games if both teams are having ****ty nights. How long would Jazz games potentially be? Too damn long. This achieves a similar process but gives a more uniform time length to each game.
Then why in the hell did you ask me why they would do it when they explained why they would do it in the article?
And I'm not sure if I would want it yet either, but to completely dismiss it just because "its not the way we have done it for the past x amount of years" is a line of thought I despise.
I know what the article says, and what it's trying to achieve. I just think we should tackle each problem step by step instead of going with a radical change.
I stand by my solution of eliminating 2 minute timeout, as a viewer to me that's the most frustrating thing in the final minutes of a game.

I kinda like that though. I watch both long and short movies. Both have their strengths.
Yeah, but that would be a scheduling nightmare. You might like it, but it just isnt logical from a time management perspective.

It wouldn't happen because of TV. For sure
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.

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.
