    I love this idea, maybe it will work.

    Point guard Rafer Alston is wondering whether starting the game down 20-0 would be a good idea.

    "Call (NBA commissioner) David Stern," Alston said. "We'll start the game down 20 and then do the jump-tip and then let's play basketball." - The Sun

    It would just give us more time to catch up, and we only play good basketball if we are coming from behind it seems.

    As crazy as it sounds, that'd be a great learning experience for any team to come back from a 20pt deficit. Having a winning record with that kinda deficit would make a legit contender out of any team.

    Wouldn't be the same...seems more of a 2nd half thing.

    Wouldn't that be incredible though, 40 point comeback by the Toronto Raptors. In the headlines, Jalen scores 44 points in 4th quarter to overcome the 35 point 4th deficit. [​IMG]
