have never really watched the playoffs or the say, the Christmas Day games, where they play a high level of defense. In the long 82 game season there are games where the defense is simply not that intense.

Italy takeaways from Fulford - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/14 10:46:21

No live ball timeouts would be awesome.(nm) - sprintcar STL - 8/15 07:42:46

I do not want the 24 second shot clock - KC rules MU - 8/14 14:36:35

It won't ever happen. (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 8/14 16:28:19

Agree that it won't happen, but I can dream - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/14 16:52:01

I do not see why everyone wants to emulate the NBA - KC rules MU - 8/14 18:16:36

My original post said nothing about emulating the NBA - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/14 19:05:28

A shorter shot clock kills offense and forces guys - alwaysright MU - 8/14 15:32:30

Yep don't have time to move the ball around for a good shot(nm) - DevilsAdvocate MU - 8/14 18:31:22

I agree. It would be over-regulation, with no real benefit(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 8/14 15:26:04

American shot clock operators already have trouble. - El_Tigre MU - 8/14 10:52:13

FIBA hasn't had problems with it - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/14 10:55:06

Why does it need to be speeded up. If that was - GA Tiger MU - 8/14 12:06:20

or players could learn to not foul as much - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/14 12:23:07

24 second shot clock forces the near abandonment of - alwaysright MU - 8/14 15:38:46

Ok, I finally agree with a ref. Exactly right on the fouls(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 8/14 16:54:32

don't agree about offense - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/14 16:46:42

How is looking for a good shot a waste of time?(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 8/14 16:55:16

you talking about the 3 man weave that Mizzou ran - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/14 17:12:59

then don't watch those games. - alwaysright MU - 8/15 07:14:50

FIBA has the same 24 second shot clock - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/15 08:01:38

Thats either coaching, or the talent, but its not the clock(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 8/14 18:35:16

Exactly. It makes the NBA game much more enjoyable to - StaleyTiger MU - 8/14 12:46:05

The NBA is not a more enjoyable game and it is not - alwaysright MU - 8/14 15:41:56

I like both - I think many who say they don't like the NBA - MakeShift MU - 8/14 16:25:53

That is part of the problem. I watch 1-2 regular season - alwaysright MU - 8/15 07:18:08

I take it you haven't watched the NBA in at least a decade - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/14 15:48:01

It has improved but that is still the - alwaysright MU - 8/14 15:49:32

FIBA is very much a team game - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/14 15:54:20

What are contact rules?(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 8/14 13:19:18

Agree with all of those rule changes except - Mormad MU - 8/14 10:50:32

I think the rule is there's no offensive basket interference - Cosmo MU

- 8/14 15:43:21

I would have learned that on the broadcast - Mormad MU - 8/14 19:36:07

what is your feeling on what Barnett can add - Jeff85 MU - 8/14 10:48:38

Really a mystery. He was buried at Texas - HissingPrigs77 MU - 8/14 11:33:57

no idea, never seen him play - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/14 10:52:54

Puryear gives up a lot, particularly on the offensive glass - HissingPrigs77 MU - 8/14 11:35:05

Jackson and I think Barnett are natural rebounders - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/14 11:47:01
