Nothing to see. Watch a few games tapes and you'll realize Rozier is just a$$.

That’s dumb. Why shorten the game?

They think the reason for tv ratings going in the toilet is younger kids don’t have the attention span for a 48 minute game. Just silly. Yeah it’s not that the last 10-12 years have been most if not all of his biggest name players including Lebron running to the western conference to make superteams. The average start time for a game with Lebron or Durant is now 10:30EST. Nor can it possibly be superstars resting 20 games during the regular season. Not can it be that or the fact that nba refs are notoriously inept and corrupt it’s the games are too long.

PhilC calling Silver dumb is precious.
First off on the surface if this is an issue, and the networks over paid then Silver is freaking genius. He works for the owners and team values have been increasing.
So there is that.
Now, cost to consumer/fan might go up. Thats something to be concerned about? Perhaps.
Attendance has been increasing. Yep. Its been trending well And its expensive.
Viewership? Yes, its been declining. But simply the networks value the numbers and paid for it.
Is that stupid? well, perhaps the league is not hooked on superstars and viewers are changing. The demographic certainly has. Our kids are not watching the way we did and perhaps the trends are there is a core viewer and they are paying more for it.
The game is also growing globally and the way entertainment has competition has and is changing so.

Just because what you (PHilC) is saying is important to you does not mean its a universal issue. In fact, it makes you look lessor.
NBA is looking to expand again domestically and into Europe. Billionaires and global money are looking to invest in this long game.
Does money, and having more money equate to intelligence? Not always. Does lack of money demonstrate higher intelligence? Far more rare occurrence.
Fan perspective is one of many perspectives. To ignore the other elements is incomplete to be kind.

Pacers definitely an interesting spot with Toppin and Turner. Turner gonna push 30mm per annum and then Indiana starts to have apron problems. Indy signed Toppin to a fair deal and probably made more sense than letting him walk, but now they have to make a decision.

Would you trade Mitch for Obi? Pacers need a backup center and rim protection. Toppin would be a 5 out type big who can run and finish. Kinda makes some sense except we know Thibs hates to play him :)

If mitch can't go then Indy still needs a back up center and forward. Thomas Bryant is holding it down for now.
I think Mitch is our best chance thru playoffs. Obi the 5? If he can hold it, why wouldn't Indy keep him there?
I get if Turner gets hert they are done. If Kat goes down Mitch might still hold it and get us thru a round.

Silver can’t figure out how to improve nba tv ratings so he’s now just funneling superstars to the lakers

Luka is likeable by all accounts. Plus, he's the type of players who amps other guys into believing they could beat anybody. Imagine what a soul sucking effect it must be to realize there is no cavalry, only Quentin Grimes.

Shams says Fox to San Antonio with Chicago involved. LaVine is going to Sac to reunite with DeRozan

Interesting. I'm guessing they feel like DeRozan can be their offensive facilitator.
