revamp fouling

fucking every other play is interrupted by a foul

Get rid of the meme 3 point line

Allow kick ball.

Multiball

Daily reminder this semen slurping sport needs some fixin:
>30 teams
>get rid of conferences and divisions--no one cares
>each team plays every team 2 times in a season
>3 points for a win
>1 for a draw
>0 for a loss
>no overtime for regular season games
>6 team playoff
>5 game first round
>7 game champions hip series
>top 2 teams in the league table ranking get a first round bye
>playoff seeding determined by points(league table ranking) at end of 58 game regular season
>in case of a tie(league table ranking) , POINT DIFFERENTIAL[(total points scored during regular season) - (total points allowed during regular season)] for the entire season breaks the tie

Point differential would make every possession--every play--throughout the entire season count.
With a 6 team playoff you can expect to have 12-13 teams realistically vying for a playoff spot so around half the league will always be incentivized to play hard and win.
Since relegation isn't possible and there are no other competitions(Champions League for example) to qualify for, the other half of the league could be incentivized to win with a combination of determining a teams percentage of revenue shares + determining draft picks


you're welcome, I just saved your dying sport

limit timeouts 1 per team for the whole game

>limit timeouts 1 per team for the whole game
0 timeouts, 0 need for coaches

adopt FIBA rules.

>TV timeout

Less niggers.

Go back to 90s rules

K senpai

infallible robot referees

Apply the away goals rule

Only white players.

The biggest problem,and I hate to sound like a broken record, are the referees. They either control the outcome of the game or are completely pointless.

I unironically agree with everything this pasta says except for draws. point scoring is so frequent that it's easy to get rid of one unlike in soccer

increase participation internationally and get an organisation that knows what's its doing (i.e not FIBA)

That moves the 3 point line in closer. If you thought chucking for 3s was bad now it'd just be endless 3s.

try to cut dead time.
has anyone calculated the amount of live vs dead ball time? it must be an interesting ratio.

watching a game live is beyond me at this point, i dont know how people do it

>Draws being allowed
Fuck that, close games are what players live for. You have never actually played competitive basketball.

raise the hoopelidoop 1,5 meters(5ft)

that way being tall won't be as big of an advantage as now

Our Filipino friend is spot on here.

Ties in basketball?

Come on, a buzzer beating shot is one of the best things in all of sports

fuck off sweden ruining everything

Americans always say the goals in football need to be bigger

So as a European I suggest the hoopidy-ringos are made bigger and lowered by a foot or two

That way more points would be scored, sicker dunks would be made and whitey would stand a chance. Essentially the black man's game would be taken from him. Isn't that what America wants?

How about we make it 4 points for dunks, so theres more incentive to do them

we introduce complex equations to be solved throughout the game.

that would give some racial diversity to the sport.

>wanting more white people
ugh

>hoopidy-ringos are lowered by a foot or two
>That way more points would be scored

no, it would be easier to defend.

Then we go back to the 90s where no one could shoot for shit and everyone dunked.

isn't that what the people want?

use adblock.
call a diva a diva.

Getting rid of curry

implement offside rules

stop letting 2 teams stockpile all the talent

There are little things that can be done like reduce timeouts or allow more defensive physicality, but at its essence I think it is what it is. Curry just gets a pick and roll at the top of the key and is open. Adding the three point line must have made a bunch of big men obsolete, so I see no problem with removing it.

Get rid of Curry. Restore parity to the league, prop up losers with billions of franchised and punish winners with waterboarding techniques until all are equal. But outlaw ties. Any team who ties a game shall receive a fine and be reprimended.

Mellowball will be the beacon of order with the purity of an ant colony and the beauty of a flawless pearl.

ban hack a shaq and cut the number of TO's allowed in the last 2 minutes of play by 75%

Not sure about the rest but 2 points for a win is good enough. Like rugby, ties after normal time aren't that common anyway.

Game-tying buzzer beating shots (which under current rules force the game into overtime) are just as exciting as game-winning buzzer beating shots. I don't see the problem.

I think it's pretty good the way it is right now

>Any team who ties a game shall receive a fine and be reprimended.
If only this idea would be implemented for soccer

Remove the fucking draft lottery, how can they expect an outsider to take a sport with such a blatantly rigged draft seriously?

Allow the players to be more physical. That's it.

1 team timeout per half

make it full contact

bring back hand checking or figure out some other way to not make playing defense obnoxious now that everyone is figuring out the abuse 3 pointers strat

shots from behind halfcourt are worth 5 points
no technicals for trash talk/low level violence
no blood no foul

Eliminate fouls and the 3 point line

Fouls in the final two minutes an automatic point to the fouled team before the free throws.

>draws
Kill yourself

FIBA rules are objectively worse than the NBA's

Time travel back to the 90s and watch NBA games. That's how it should be.

>Game-tying buzzer beating shots (which under current rules force the game into overtime) are just as exciting as game-winning buzzer beating shots. I don't see the problem.
If you genuinely believe this then you're completely retarded.

No it doesn't game-tying isn't the same as winning. What the fuck are you talking about? Lowry's shot in this year's playoffs was good but in the end they lost so no one is gonna count that as clutch since the team sucked ass in OT. Compare it to Wade's isolation plays on the same game which pretty much showed team had the better playrr

Why is the NBA so shit.

no max player salaries.
teams should never be able to have 2 or 3 max players on the same team.
then you could actually expand to 32 teams because there would be more talent to go around.

Too many niggers, tbqfhwysenpaidesu.

replace all the black players with asians and Europeans and call them racist if they complain about it

no more media timeouts, coaches get like 2 or 3 timeouts, hanging on the rim is encouraged, no more fouls just get rid of them altogether because they are a lost cause

>watching NBA basketball

Shit hasn't been good since the early 2000's. NBA is pussified shit now

The sport doesn't need fixing. The league does.

I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow it was exposed the whole league is rigged. Officiating is the WORST, all the talent is in 4-5 teams, and memes and fouling are the way to win.

WWE tier league honestly.

Go to a local hoop with buddies and the game is fun because they aren't as many rules in streetsketball

Harris conducted a poll in 2014 that rated all the major sports

"According to a survey taken by the Harris Poll, which has been asking adult fans, ages 18 and over, about their favorite sport since 1985."

"In 2014, 35 percent of fans call the NFL their favorite sport, followed by Major League Baseball (14 percent), college football (11 percent), auto racing (7 percent), the NBA (6 percent), the NHL (5 percent) and college basketball (3 percent)."

NBA is less popular than College Football and Nascar now.


APEHOOP FANS BTFO

They hang on the rim so they don't drop onto somebody and wreck their ankles or knees.

Hockey is rising, slowly but surely. I can't wait for the day NBA salary caps start dropping and games stop being televised.

The best thing is niggers will never fuck up hockey.

It's an inherently terrible sport, so there's nothing that can be done to fix it, but you can at least bump it out of soccer-tier by making all fouls 1 FT + possession at half court.

When intentionally breaking the rules has a potential benefit and is a viable strategy, you have a problem.
When that strategy is used in 98% of games, and it renders the first 45 minutes of those game completely irrelevant, you need to completely rework the sport

lower the hoops so it's not only giant nignogs who can play
have the clock count forward

1. Kill the Warriors
2. Loosen foul rules
3. No shooting fouls in the last 2 minutes
4 White diversity quotas

nice blog faggot

You should be more upset about your new muslim mayor.

Thanks.

Like and subscribe for daily updates. Your comments mean a lot. Feel free to share with friends.

He's not my Mayor. I don't live in London. Nothing he does effects me in anyway.

It's too far gone now. It's more nigger culture than athletics at this point

Create a 4 point line

Don't allow the stadiums to play shitty trap beats and sound effects during the game

>effects
>ingerland in charge of english

Wait London has a Muslim mayor? Holy shit

Lads, this is the thinly veiled funposting thread.

Yes effects. As in it has no effect on me.

Affect relates to mood. As in there was negative affect.

this right here
reduce the amount of teams, implement strict, universal salary caps across the whole league, and go back to the fucking drawing board with officiating in hopes of some consistency and it'd be leagues above where it is now

Reduce the number of teams that make the playoffs.

Your use of the word was in verb form, which is Affect. Eat a spotted dick.

Nope, still effect.

blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2011/03/affect-versus-effect/

Suck on my spotted dick.

Whichever team has the worst record each season is removed from the league, repeat until we're down to 24 teams. No foul calls in the last 4 minutes of each quarter. Shot clock down to 7 seconds.

Add trampolines so white people can play.

>blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2011/03/affect-versus-effect/
>The key thing to remember is that affect is typically used as a verb:

So you can't read either? Cool.

>Typically
Do you even know the meaning of words? I mean, I know you guys claim to use our language but I don't see an awful lot of it.

Bit embarrassing t.b.h. f.a.m. I mean, if you have a deficiency, it's not very wise to bring attention to it needlessly. Is it?

By not watching it. I was spoiled growing up to 90's NBA where they played like men and lots of teams had real Centers that controlled the paint and posted up. Franchise players stayed on their teams until they got old. They didn't leave teams or fire the head coach when they lost to the Bulls. Also, Im sick and tired of guys shooting and missing miracle 3's at the buzzer when their team is only down 1 or 2 points. No trash talking and no posting up sucks either.

Bring back real Centers. Look at the 90's NBA. Hakeem, Ewing, Robinson, Mourning, Smitts, Mutumbo, Shaq, even Vlade Divac. Now we have Howard, Gasol, Cousins, Davis, that's it really.

This

All teams must have at least 5 white players by law

I cannot believe you can defend your stupidity like this.
effect is a noun and affect is a verb.
"Nothing he does affects me." -affect
"Nothing he does has an effect on me" - effects
here i fucking redid for you

"Nothing he can

Is there any sports league that has no offensive name?


Seeking leagues that do not have teams with these names: devils, wizards, magic Brewers ETC

A sport where it is advantageous to penalize yourself if you're losing is a flawed sport that can not be fixed

Hi

>the Seattle City council let Bennett buy out the Sonics lease for $45 million, 15 of which they never got.
>the Seattle City council effectively ended a 5 year long bid to build a new stadium, for an expansion NBA team, that was literally 90% privately funded by a crazy hedgefund manager who just happened to be a Sonics fan.


I hate this city. I hate it so much.

I still don't understand this: the offensive player goes in for a layup, and a defensive player gets knocked down just by standing in his way...but it was the offensive player's fault for running into him, and therefore a foul?

And yet, when a defensive player CLEARLY rakes is hand across an offensive player's face while on the way up to a layup, "that was a clean play"...No foul!

So you can beat the shit out of someone within reason, depending on the given offense or defense? Some prick stands there, falls down and FOUL!!! Or someone goes in and gets triple teamed elbows and that was clean?
