It should be just be one timeout per team per quarter and maybe two each in the final quarter. It would make the game flow so much better but I suggest it’s probably linked to TV rights unfortunately.


FIBA timeouts are much shorter for starters, I told many times that NBA fans who only watch NBA doesnt know how bad they have it these days, stoppage and timeout length is unbearable.


Agreed. Unless I’m in the building I haven’t watched a game live for years.
The Milwaukee Bucks are NBA Champions.

Lavine sucked that half and made a couple of stupid fouls that led to free throws for Fournier, but that’s Tatums fault.

Holiday and Durant need to get through the 3rd without picking up another foul.

Ya it’s weird I’m watching the game and it seemed like KD and Tatum are the two who are actually making buckets. I come on here, if I wasn’t watching the game I would think Tatum has been the worst player on the court or something.


He was their leading rebounder in the half too. Tough crowd lol, though it’s really just one poster.

Thats because most people watching Tatum just knows that when he gets it NOBODY else is touching the ball

I’m not a fan of this offense team USA is doing. But they need to try to play the only real big they have.

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

These refs are questionable... at best.
