It's just to get Draymond Green.

Warriors steam roll everyone. Four game sweeps kill revenue. Kill it. The league administration got a consolation prize in the Western Conference Finals going 7 games.

Basically this - The Warriors can sweep anyone in the Finals, assuming Green/Curry are healthy, but they will have to give up games on purpose in the other rounds. If they don't the refs will job them until they do.

You can't beat the Warriors in a cleanly called game. Sometimes they can beat themselves. The way to do it is to eject Green or suspend him for a game, then allow defenders ( looking at you Matt Delladova...) to basically batter Curry all the time. The amount of hard contact Curry gets and is uncalled is unreal. This is the "Under Armour" tax.

Warriors play the right way. They built through the draft and good cap management, like teams are encouraged to do. But their players don't sell enough shoes on their own, not to Nike standards. No one is dating a pop star. Can't have that. No one is dunking over a car. Fuck that noise. No one is shooting up a nightclub or dropping a rap track and on TMZ all the time. WTF is up with that? They simply kill revenue for the league more than they generate it ( killing off long playoff series)

They are a marketing nightmare. So the league needs to **** them over.

Like I always say, if a 14 year old kid shoots another in the face over some ****ing shoes, deep down, real quiet, the marketing people at Nike are ****ing feeling fabulous. That's status right there. People want to kill over your shoes. When videos go viral of new rare kicks coming out and people trample each other at 4am, those same people are jizzing in their pants. Creaming it.

If Kevin Knox got engaged to Taylor Swift, the Knicks would get more national TV broadcasts. Knox could literally walk to the basket. Not even dribble anymore. The NBA would fly a drone above the rim that would push any errant Knox shot into the hoop for him. If he got with Beyonce and had Oprah host the televised wedding, they'd let him bring a handgun onto the court. Just shoot a mother****er in the knee who gets in your way like Billy Blanks.

If the NBA could make another billion dollars sacrificing newborn babies at half court, then Stern would come out of retirement to say on CNN that the NBA will now build maternity wards for low income people all over America. I've seen it upfront myself, the level of greed at this part of the sports world is sad and predictable.

No disrespect intended but this long winded reply is irrelevant to my post and this thread in general

Lol and why so upset that this rule may negatively impact the Warriors? Aside from the tanking teams, idc what any team out west does or doesn't do; as a general basketball fan ofc I'll catch west coast games whenever they come on, but (again aside from the tanking teams out west) Im not emotionally invested in any way in the outcomes of those games, playoffs included

Granted, we here are pretty big fans and like the chess game as it but this new rule will keep the pace up for the end of the game.

Totally agree. Clock as weapon at the end of close games is really a drag. This is a halfway measure to limit that and though situational, it's a nice change. Perhaps they should limit it to the final two minutes or something.

Got tired of posting psychotic misogyny, huh? Explain how the money hungry league allowed KD, who barely sells any Gatorade, to go to GSW.

I cannot wait to read this one.
