Lol what? Why would they need to do that? The league was fine in the 2000s up until 2015
Would Target Score Rules in the NBA Make the League more Entertaining?
- Thread starter GoldenGlove
- Start date
So we agree that the main problem is the Kerr merging of D'antony and Pop's system. We got to find a way of restricting 1-4 free flow offense in the first 8 minutes of each quarter no 1-4 and 5 second dribble to move the ball around.

No, the league doesn’t need a dumbass 5 second dribble rule. It’s never needed that, that would limit your best players, nobody is calling for all that. Just literally bring back hand checking, and eliminate the landing space bs, guys have no choice but to just give up shots rn
Aside from the playstyle issues, I think the root cause is way too many teams make the postseason - we've had players say they don't even care about the regular season and they treat it accordingly. Play in tournament should be scrapped. I'd like to see it go down to 6 teams per conference make the playoff(that's never happening) and 55-60 games a season(also never happening). As we can see, not an easy fix.
This is why I'm saying, if there's a system where total score and point differential impacts standings, it could result in more competitive play.
Also, have some way of penalizing teams that lose by 25+
Wouldn't call it a gimmick, but a different way of valuing winning and competitive play.
But the Play-In Tournament has actually helped the quality of play. Before the tournament, there were way more games in March and April that teams did not care anything about. That hasn't been the case since this has been implemented outside of teams like Detroit (last year) and a team like Washington that is just garbage and just not good enough to compete at all.
. I love seeing nikkas get money but half these shots not going up if they know they could get cut for fukkry

Pick-up games don't have no clock
I thought this was suppose to be a serious thread.
I was pointing out that a lot of basketball isn't played with a running clock. Removing the game clock is one thing, the shotclock is still there. The game would still be basketball without a game clock... also, we literally just saw MLB add a pitching clock to the sport.I thought this was suppose to be a serious thread.
NBA did this in All-Star games already, this is a serious thread tho.
True, I don't like the idea of games ending on FTs, just like I don't necessarily like when NFL games end on chip in FGs after 1 team runs the clock all the way down. Nothing is perfect.
None of these gimmicks are going to entice people to watch.
They need to get away from these 4 quarter 3 point shootouts and embrace different play styles like the game used to have.
Bring back the mid range game and post play. Shorten the season.
They won't do any of these things so the game is going to keep declining.

If teams are down 30-40 points at H/T and its the the first to 80-90-100 points fans will leave the arena early and switch off the TV.
What you are suggesting is putting more and wear on the tall athletes legs. You're asking for load management to be increased and all the players would have to change their training to become cardio monsters. And no one wants to be tortured watching 2 shyt teams with poor shooting playing for 4 hours.

I think less games can solve a lot of consumer disdain for the regular season. Playoffs have expanded so the current # of games arent that necessary besides the bread of course.
The constant playcall for 3’s, contested ones at that, is a really bad product.
