I actually find him quite reasonable and pretty even keeled most of the time. Hes one of my favorite posters, personally.
I think I agree with you here, but I also think at least a play could be run in 14 seconds. Speaking strictly Blazers here, but Dame doesn’t usually start the offense until 14-15 seconds are on the clock anyways. With this change, you probably can’t run a full offensive set in the sense of multiple options. So say Ed gets a rebound passes it out to a guard the shot clock probably is down to 8-9 before the guard is able to set up a new play. Now it’s a little arbitrary, but If they want it to be less than 24 seconds, I’d be more ok with it, if it was say reset to 18 seconds.
I’ll be honest, I watch the WNBA here and there. It’s not that bad, yes it’s a different ‘game’ than the NBA. Maybe it’s because I have 3 girls.
I like it. In late games a reset off a offensive board eats a lot of time. Keep the pressure on. Late game fouling is still a drag.
I see where it's coming from, but a rare on-topic, non-duplicated thread by KS is the wrong place to voice it. HC should just wait until next year's "NBA Hot 100" thread comes out.
I’ll be honest I get why we’d like to keep things consilidated into threads that work together, and yeah duplicates can be annoying. I think there are plenty of things that warrant more specific conversation, even if it’s loosely related to something else. Like why have a Blaers doing stuff in the off-season thread and not just have that merged into the nba in August thread. Anything a Blazer does in August is also a child to the parents class of NBA and August. Why not just create a thread called all things basketball and that’s the only place we can post about basketball, the nba or whatever. Anyways I do get the complaint, but I guess in my opinion if someone wants to make a thread to specifically talk about a rule change, a player, a certain GM, etc, I don’t see the problem unless it’s a very clear duplicate. Now will my opinion change anyone else’s? Probably not, but just saying I can see why this warrants a new thread, and most of KS’s threads I understand why he’d want to have a discussion about that specific subject. the duplicates because of the ignore button, well yeah those don’t help anyone and usually derail into this type of conversation instead of discussion on the OP.
