10 or 12 min quarters.

I hate the new format of 10min quarters. As valued season ticket holders, it takes away 8 mins from our memberships per game. I know, its good for the players. When it was 12 mins a quarter, you could be down by 12 with 7mins to go and still be a chance. Now its 12 with 5 minutes to go and winning is unlikely. But the overall improvement of the sport is paramount and if this makes the NBL better, then fine. I agree its in the best interests for everyone

Not as much as an issue for me as I would have thought - I am fine with it staying at 10 minute quarters and haven't missed the extra 8 minutes as much as I thought I would.

'Anyone that thinks 10 min quarters are better than 12 have no idea about the game of bball.'

Perhaps that is the point - a shorter game may keep people who are not the true fans more engaged and interested. If that leads to more fans overall, excellent.

With the NBA still at 12 minute quarters, and with their crazy 82 game season, I couldn't count the number of lack lustre "post it in" performances and meaningless quarters I watched (or turned off). I do think that the 10 minute quarters may have something to do with keeping the intensity up in the NBL.
