Adam Silver suggests 10 minute quarters instead of 12

[Ku$h Parker]

Just go ahead and run two 24 minute halves soccer style

Keep the clock running during foul calls and free throws. 30 minute halftime. Gotta keep the rotations continuous

I Funks wit that

 

[Illuminatos]

This fukkboy just doesn’t get it.

 

[King Poetic]

Are ticket prices going to be cut

So teams going to cut rosters down by a player or 2

I don't agree with the 10-minute quarter's idea, but people have complained so much about the game that they have him scrambling for ideas and then getting mad at him for testing the waters .

I feel like the people who constantly complain about the state of the NBA, claiming it's boring, or games taking too long, etc, might need to ask themselves if they really like the sport of basketball because, after a certain point, there's not much else that can be done to satisfy them, too many modifications of the sport deprecates the integrity of the game.

A lot of these NBA critics truly sound like they're just not really big on the sport of basketball as much as they believe themselves to be.

This is ridiculous.

He really think people are sitting around and not watching because 12 minutes quarters are too long

How about lower the amount of ad breaks if he’s concerned about time .

Better yet..make the game better and maybe those who are not watching may check it out

These critics start to sound like they're not really big on basketball.

I didn't know that David Stern was so.loved.

What would you change about the league?

The idea that this guy had about 3 pointers on here. When you miss 1-3 you get deducted a point.

Well, yes, it's been proven the younger generations have shorter attention spans, hence why a certain portion of them only check game highlights. Not to mention, with all the entertainment we have available now, making games shorter will naturally get more folks to actually watch games in their entirety, if only by placebo effect.

Not that I necessarily agree/disagree with reducing the minutes, but it is a common gripe that games are too long.

There are no fundamental measures that can be taken to make those who don't watch the game suddenly start to watch the game (again).

The game that they so desire isn't coming back.

 

[Super Cheech]

Stupid idea.

 

[young yeesh]

No one sensible has asked for shorter quarters. He needs to stick with what the masses are actually critiquing

Yeah you blocked

 

[FakeNews]

People on here have suggested

capping the number of 3s taken.

Deducing points for the numbers of 3s missed

Making 3s worth twos if teams shoot under 35%

But wanting 10 min quarters is where things get too extreme, and we have to take a stand
