ballislyfe25ParticipantNBA overtime is becoming unwatchable. It’s bad enough that a 48-minute game takes, at a minimum, 2 and 1/2 hours real time but add in a 5 minute overtime and that jumps close to 3 hours. Between timeouts, replays, and fouls overtime can take up to 30 minutes real time.
Watching the Knicks vs. Jazz right now and it literally took the refs 5 minutes to review a jump ball only to keep the original call. Each coach takes a timeout after every posession once the clock is under 1 minute 30 seconds.
This has to change, it makes for a terrible viewing experience, and most working class people have trains to catch and traffic to beat just to get home from the games (if they can even afford to go).

Hype MachineSee cricket – they allow 5 days for a match…and are prepared to add half an hour onto each day if theyre playing too slowly

he_gets_bucketsParticipantIt’s a trade off that has come with the immergence of instant replay technology and our access to greater accuracy of calls- we have this technology but we have to take time out to use it. I think I still prefer having to sit through a bit of extra game time to the alternative of them blowing a call late in a close game, though I agree there is starting to be an issue of games taking way too long to finish and dragging on with all the stoppages. I’m not sure if there is much that can be done.

Hype MachineGames are 40 minutes in most international leagues…but theres way less timeouts and reasons to stop the game. It would take 2 hours to complete.
Naturally…thats 1 hour less for sprite, NBA 2k and taco bell advertising.
