    Also to answer some a question I've been asked in case others were wondering- pictures were taken from a picture phone with no zoom.

    It seems that all my letters have finally be noticed...

    The other significant rule change announced Wednesday by the league, according to the memo obtained by ESPN.com, is aimed at cutting down on the growing frequency of players standing while they're on the bench.

    Starting this season, league rules dictate that players will be required to remain seated on the bench while the ball is live except to "spontaneously react to a notable play [and] immediately sitting down on the bench afterward" or "to approach the scorer's table to report into the game."

    The memo states that "players will not be permitted to stand [in front of] the bench at any other time while the ball is in play, including standing for the last minute of a game or standing until the team scores its first point in game."

    The league says it is ins uting these restrictions "due to the numerous complaints that the NBA and its teams received from fans during last season" and is threatening "fines imposed upon the offending team" for non-compliance.
    can thank the cavs bench for that

    I don't like that new rule. I like seeing the players on their feet during the game. It makes me more involved in the game when the players are excited about it too.
    Not as cool when you spend like over $600 for tickets for that game to miss out on parts of it and end up watching it on the jumbo-tron to see whats going on.
