USA is a much bigger place with far more teams both at a junior and professional level and more fans hence the more games.

The play would adapt to whatever changes are made. The trick is predicting whether the adaptations would make the game more or less popular. These days it seems that everyone wants higher scoring so I agree there's no way the 3 point line will go. If anything they would add a 4 point line even further out.

An open 2 point shot from the 3 point arc by a good perimeter shooter is still a much better shot than a nine footer with 2 defenders contesting it

I rather they enforce the the three seconds in the key, and even follow the nba re defensive three seconds.

Yeah, let's get rid of defence, that change has been so popular in the NBA of late.

Actually, given the grizzles about the lack of post play & the NBA game at least becoming a 'game of three pointers', I wonder if the three point line might not disappear before long. Sincerely hope so.

There is less than zero change of this, and it would utterly ruin the game if it did. People aren't going to unlearn the analytics, so nobody will ever take a shot outside the paint. No player will ever be further than ten feet from the rim at any time in any possession. It'd be a horrible, unwatchable mess.

There was good spacing back in the 70s/early 80s because people still thought three-point-range two-point jump shots were good shots. They don't anymore.

If you want games to go faster, how about enforcing the 5 second rule for free throws instead of screwing around for 20 seconds while the player bounces the ball up and down 57 times to ensure it's reasonably inflated or whatever? Rule is 5 seconds to shoot the damn thing once you get it from the ref. So shoot it.

Anyone have an idea of what the fixtures will be for next season? Are going to have an extra 2 home and away games? Or will they go and play each team 3 time's? Seeing that they don't do the split against each team for ladder positions?

Im talking about T20 and the speed at which overs need to be bowled, how soon batsmen need to take crease etc. Test cricket will always be monotonous to some.

Yeah, credit where it's due, Channel 9 did a superb job of removing the monotonous aspects of cricket from its broadcast ;)

NRL, AFL and cricket have all found ways to minimise the monotonous momemts in their respective sports. Of course the NBA wants as many breaks as possible and they can afford to do that for many reasons. I think the NBL needs to do the same as these sports so theres as few stoppages as possible and they are as short as possible.

Honestly, a 48-minute game would work well, seeing the pregame is pretty boring and repetitive

The shift to 10 minutes was the worst change in australian basketball history. It was also done for the refs who would complain every season in big v about game length. Trying to give 12 guys minutes in a 40 minute game is impossible.

Salaries are very short, and not many are paid in comparison to other leagues- NBA pay Harden $228 million. thoughts?

Games are small compared to other leagues. NBA has attendance of 18-20,000. thoughts?
