This post doesn’t mention Giannis at all wth

But how would they squeeze 5 wingstop commercials in that time?

How does this move impact Giannis

Not during mini F5 season big dog

Doesn’t wnba also have the ability to advance the ball without needing a timeout? That would be interesting to have too

Nothing you’re going to suggest is going to change how slowly the end games move because that would cut into ad time.

Make the coaching staff consume 4 ghost pepper wings each for each time out.

Guard-centric team flair calling for less rest that benefits bigs more

I see the way you move

Good take but I was hoping for a trade 😭😭

But how does this help them deliver more ads?

They won’t do it due to ad revenue 

Agreed.

And replays should have a 24 second time limit. If they can’t determine the call within that time frame, either the original call stands or it’s a jump ball.

The NBA should ban timeouts in the last 2 minutes of a game. 

The point is that they know they have the most eyeballs during these high leverage parts of the game so they can charge more for commercial time.

You ever been to a game? 30 second timeouts are already 2 minutes

they could really make up the difference if they sped up their reviews process

Teams that get fouled in the bonus of the 4th quarter should be allowed to choose between a 5 second run off and inbound the ball or shots

It would speed up the end of the game and ensure it doesn’t take 40 minutes for the last quarter to finish like it can these days

They do this intentionally. The NBA is about selling ads for sponsors, not better basketball viewing experience. Ad sales are their entire business.

The WNBA has a special “reset timeout” that each team gets where you advance the ball and get a side out without huddling. I think it’s pretty helpful.

The current rules have all timeouts in the last 3 minutes of fourth quarters at 75 seconds (rather than 3 mins 15 secs like a normal TV timeout). If they moved to 20 seconds it could potentially save a little under 4 mins, which is helpful but probably not a full solution and imo not addressing the real issue. I take more issue with the long reviews and teams fouling when they get into a situation when they’re up by 3 and low time left

Can’t do that how would they bomb you with more commercials than game

tbh i actually agree with this. last 5 minutes of a close game shouldn’t take longer than the first half. but good luck getting the nba to cut commercial revenue

Worst part about 4th Quarter is the arena stops selling beer here after the 3rd. Really adds to the pain.

When did they get rid of it?

Elam. Ending.

We need to get rid of god first

I just want NBA games to not go past 2 hours.
