Edit Around the NBA thread august would be a perfect place for this. But frankly, it just doesn't matter. Should at least fix the title, like @HAAK72 suggested.
This is just not true. Also, with a rebound and a kick out, by the time all the players get into the set, I'd wager there would be about 10 seconds to run a play. Therefore, semi penalizing offensive rebounds.
I again disagree. I miss things all the time in that thread and this rule change discussion deserves its own thread. So instead of wasting time going back and forth about where the thread should be, let's talk about the subject.
I don;t think it will change the game that much except for the end of the game when the team that is ahead tries to run the clock out. I don;t know what the stats are but I bet most teams during the course of the game get a shot back up within 14 seconds as the goal of this rule is to limit the stalling at the end.
I’d like more evidence that it isn’t true other than you just saying that. To my eyes Dame walks the ball up court especially after the other team scores almost every play and neber seems to be in much of a hurry. I agree that it would take the clock down to much, that why I said if they feel like they need to reset it to less than 24 seconds than I think 18 seconds is a better number than 14.
It was my understanding that they get the ball back after the foul shot if that is not the case anymore then I do not care. If that is the case then I think it is a crappy rule.
You do get 2 free throws and possession. And it's a great rule. First of all, safety 1st. It stops unnecessary contact on fast breaks. The most devastating injuries happen in fast breaks. Secondly, people want to see fast break dunks. They're exciting. 2 shots and the ball discourages dangerous contact and keeps excitement in the game.
Bro, there's an 8 second backcourt rule. That alone means we need at least 16 seconds to start the play. Also, Dame rarely walks the ball up the court. It's usually a jog and it takes about 4 seconds with no backcourt pressure.
I know that rule yeah... I mean I guess we can call that a jog? I guess in my opinion it seems like when Dame is out there he’s a much more methodical pg and doesn’t seem to be in a huge hurry to get things going. This isn’t a slight, Dames awesome. I just don’t see him as the Westbrook type of get the ball up court and get into the offense early in the clock. You might be right it’s not 14 seconds but they take a lot of the clock most possessions.
So far I’m 3 minutes in (sorry bad reception) I count like 4 plays early in the clock, 3 plays later in the clock and some of them were just against the clock in general. I’ll have to watch it when I get home.
Later in the clock doesn't mean he didn't cross the timeline. You have to use the game clock too. In those 3 instances, those are late in the game clock. Take the play against Dallas when he takes the long three at 1:18. That's not when the play started, it's where it ended. When we begin our plays we usually have about 19-20 seconds.
http://www.espn.com/nba/hollinger/teamstats/_/sort/paceFactor https://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/possessions-per-game Those kind of indicate that the Blazers are like slightly below average in pace. I don’t know what else to say, I don’t really think that the Blazers and Dame get out and get early offense all that much. I’m not sure how I’m just flat out wrong, but I definitely could be and I probably was about the 14 second thing it probably is a couple seconds more like 16ish.
Pace doesn't have much to do with when you start your play. It's when your play ends. Like D'antoni's 7 seconds or less offense.
