OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: JANUARY 2025

10 min qtrs is BS

 

wut?

is this a proposed rule change?

 

Why not make 1+1’s an actual 1+1? Would shave a couple minutes off. Maybe more when Giannis plays.

 

Silver proposed it recently.

Agreed. Terrible suggestion.

 

Wembayama: "Talking to the refs, of course, explaining myself. But for me, it doesn't feel like it's something I should influence. I'm a basketball player, I'm here to play, and yeah, this is why it's frustrating. It's not my job to do politics."
I agree with him. I don't really like all the lobbying; some players do it a lot more than others. Maybe if they just want an explanation of exactly what they did on a foul, but that should be it.

 

Hope his PG doesn’t read this.

 

Voter fatigue? Joker should be MVP 4 straight seasons.

 

Voter fatigue OR Racism.

 

Or win-loss record. A lot of people vote for best player on best team.

 

Well that’s stupid. A player that’s dominating shouldn’t be punished for having a GM not surround said player with talent.

 

I still think my suggestion would improve the game without ruining integrity of game

On shooting fouls
Player shoots first free throw if they make it then it counts as 2 points and they dont shoot the 2nd free throw. If they miss the first free throw then they shoot the 2nd free and only counts as 1 point.

League average is around 78% and teams combine for around 40-50 free throws a game. Assuming they make around that same percentage on 1st attempt that would mean 32-35 less free throws a game.

this would speed up the game and no one likes watching free throws

 

I’ve never seen a team either win or get absolutely smacked around quite like this years version of the warriors.

 

Wembanyama had a streak of plays in the 3rd quarter that were absolutely mind blowing. Not to mention back to back blocks on Giannis in the first half. This dude is UNREAL!
