Bigger deal than most think. Especially with teams only being allowed 2 timeouts in the last 3 minutes of a game. And I'm all for it. Trying to speed the game up.

I like it, the last few minutes btwn timeouts and other really drag on
Agreed. Will speed the end of close games up.
On the flip side, teams will have less timeouts to stop the Warriors' runs
all those time-outs anyway. But they need to reduce the number of total time-outs per quarter, not just the number of time-outs teams can take. Those automatic stops are terrible too.
Also, the trade deadline will now be 2 weeks earlier.
so maybe pop can stop calling timeouts when the other team starts the 3rd quarter on a 2-0 run
In reality, there never were any 20 second timeouts.
Get rid of live ball timeouts while you are at it.
wish they would've got rid of the mandatory timeouts each quarter and let the game flow. let teams call timeouts.
I don't think they can afford to do that. They need to have those timeouts to make sure they show certain commercials to make their money. At least that's what I think.
18...14...Fiba is 10 (2 first, 3 second half per team) and only at dead ball situations.
It basically have been 1 and 3 minute timeouts (+maybe 5 seconds) Worked perfectly skipping that amount of time when not watching live.
He'll probably just sub out the starters instead though.
Exactly.
there is no such thing as a 20 second timeout. 20 second timeouts last over a minute. I've never understood that . For the life of me, I have no idea how any NBA player gets tired playing a 48 minute game over the courst of 2 and a half hours. 18 timeouts, tv timeouts, free throws, injuries and mfs are getting tired? HOW???? There is a break in action every minute or so. How often have you seen an NBA game in which there were 5 continuous minutes of play with no fouls or dead balls?
But then sit on his hands when the Worriers go on their 25-2 bull runs

One more sked wrinkle: league trying hard to have teams in marquee national TV games (ABC Saturday) both coming off a rest day, sources say.
They certainly don't have the conditioning of a rugby player. For sure.
Can we get rid of the million nationally televised Knicks, Hawks, and Bulls games while we're at it?
Why would they add manditory timeouts under 7 and 3 minutes?
or to rest fat point guardsOn the flip side, teams will have less timeouts to stop the Warriors' runs
