you know how k-pop groups will have dozens of members and send them to different cities in different configurations so one “group” can be touring in 5 cities at once? Expand the Lakers and Celtics to 225 roster spots each and contract the other teams, that way every game every night can be a classic rivalry matchup between two storied franchises

If you want to help the defense out put a sixth player on the court.

BiggerBoat posted:Where do Shaq, Ewing, Moses, McHale, Parish, Yao Ming, either Gasol brother, or even Tim Duncan and David Robinson fit into today's game is what I wonder about and have fun picturing. Tim Duncan played effectively as an old man in 2015, he would still be a HOF'er easily if he started his career then. Marc Gasol was an all star twice after 2015 and a starter on a championship team in 2019. I think there's some time dilation on those. Yao seems like he'd play as a bigger Embiid. He shot a decent amount of 20-footers, so no reason to assume he couldn't hit 3s at an acceptable rate. Also hurt all the time, of course.

There is probably some random subtle change out there that would fix everything. Make the inbound rule 4 seconds instead of 5 and reduce the 8 second rule to cross half court down the 6. It would encourage a lot more pressing, everyone is more tired, and shots fall at a lower rate.

The biggest problem with the NBA this season was that the Warriors, Lakers and Suns had the most nationally broadcast games. Hopefully we get more ANT, SGA, etc in primetime next year

I'd let it fix itself by legalizing sport betting but not creating a reliable regulatory structure to make sure it's not corrupted.

One change I'll would make is that the clock resumes as soon as the person at the line for free throws receives the ball from the Ref, but if you don't shoot within 3 secs it's a turnover and you lose all free throws.

More clock shenanigans - Shot clock resets to 5 seconds on an offensive rebound to reduce the luck factor and reward good initial possession defense. It also makes it harder to reset for a 3 so mid range becomes slightly more valuable - Reduce the shot clock from 24 down to 18 to increase overall possessions I think one of the core issues with the nba today is variance, there aren’t enough possessions in a game to compensate for the higher 3 point shooting rate and so two evenly matched teams could easily trade 20 point blowout wins for an entire playoff series. Scoring imo isn’t an issue, if there’s a close game I’d rather see teams trade buckets rather than defensive stops.

Ban gambling by fans but legalize it for players Make it so under 2 minutes, non shooting fouls are 3 free throws so that the end of games aren't so drat tedious

This is a fruitful line of thought - New position: goal tender. A player that can camp out in the restricted area. You can pull them if you need to put a 6th man on the floor for scoring purposes.

I think in 50 years people will look back at Steph Curry and the 3-point "revolution" and think why the gently caress did teams not shoot a million threes in the 80s. End of the day I think everything is just built around "do you like watching threes or not" because the modern offense of the NBA is, imo, really is more team oriented and seeing where you can find the weak leaks in a team's total defense, moving the ball as much as possible until someone is juuuust a bit too late and you can get an open shot. I really like watching that. And when you watch Denver/Minn from last night it is all about watching the greatest offensive mastermind trying to break down this collective defense effort and coming up short.

The biggest reason you think NBA in the 90s was better was because you were 30 years younger and there was way less stuff on TV/to do. The ratings drop you reference has happened to every TV program and in particular mimics hockey so I don't think any of that has anything to do with the product on the floor. The NBA is awesome, the TV zeitgeist is different but mostly your older. Traxis posted:The biggest problem with the NBA this season was that the Warriors, Lakers and Suns had the most nationally broadcast games. No joke, the NBA is needs to stop doubling down on the best players from 6 years ago. I know that worked forever with Lebron.

The NBA in the 90s was measurably better because the Bulls had Jordan and killed everyone and now it sucks because the Bulls are bad and run by dummies.

Thinking about the aesthetics of five out space-oriented basketball as the bulls are set up to win one game in the play-in tournament for eternity.

I feel like I shouldn't give this idea away, because it will actually fix the 3 or look for foul problem with modern NBA, but gently caress it... Change the 3 point shot. As long as the ball has not touched the floor inside the 3 point line, a bucket is worth 3 points. Lobs are cool. 2 quick passes to an easy layup are fun to watch. Breakaway dunks where someone launches from beyond free throw line for 3 points are cool. There you go.

Carwash oval office posted:I feel like I shouldn't give this idea away, because it will actually fix the 3 or look for foul problem with modern NBA, but gently caress it... That'd just make the game more clogged up. If the ball went inside the line then the paint would get clogged and you'd be less likely to get dunks or movement. So the strategy there would be mostly to just go one dimensional and launch the ball and the game would grind down a lot more.

Illuminate the backboard randomly between green, yellow and red. If the ball goes in the basket when the light is red then the basket doesn't count and the largest guy on the floor gets to punch the shooter in the arm. And two more for flinching

GoutPatrol posted:I think in 50 years people will look back at Steph Curry and the 3-point "revolution" and think why the gently caress did teams not shoot a million threes in the 80s. The game is significantly more tactically complicated and varied than it was in the 90s and, due to increased skill and athleticism across the board, everything is also happening much faster. This means for the 'average joe' it's probably harder than ever to process a game on a strategic level. The NBA needs to do a better job of teaching the game to its casual audience. Unfortunately due to the inherent fast pace of the sport it's more difficult to do proper analysis during a telecast than in the NFL for example, but they still need to try. The first step is they need to stop letting the networks hire analysts and talking heads who poo poo on the modern game (fuelled almost entirely by bitterness and jealousy). But all of this contributes to the feeling from less engaged folk who just want to turn the TV on and watch the playoffs that "it's all just three point shooting now" versus the NBA-heads subscribed to five podcasts and three YouTube channels arguing in November about whether the Wizards should run more Spain sets.
