How would NBA be with five 10 minute quarters?

If the NBA switched to "best-of-5" for games, how significant would strategy and roster changes be?

Rules:
Five 10 minute periods.
First team to win three periods wins.
A match can go 3-0, 3-1, and 3-2
If a period is tied at end of 10 minutes, it's a jump ball and next point wins.

Sounds like a terrible idea.

It would really challenge the common conception of the word "quarter".

Hah I wrote it all out as quarters, then edited the body but forgot to edit the subject to reflect periods. Took me a sec to realize...quarters are 1/4 :lol:

That would be a great format to make the All Star game interesting, and a little more simple then the last format they tried.

Are we going to change the rules for each quarter as well?

I think you'd get better result if you go the Volleyball/Tennis route- sets/periods should not be determined by time.

It should be something like: first to 21 or whatever, wins the period.

Crazy idea btw, it'd be like an entirely different sport.

Why not just have ten 5 minute dimes?

Five quarters, inflation is even worse than people are saying.

Not as great as it would be with three halves

Honestly would it make it probably more exciting product. But I like classic one.

Maybe play it outdoors on assfault and people can bring their pets too.

I think it would probably allow players to play more minutes. But the most important thing is that we can't call it quarters anymore.

Many games will finish early with a 3-0 score. I don't know if that's worse than a 30 point blow out, but it won't happen. They'll lose too much time for commercials.

pets and assfalt already taken, I’ll have to lean on the elementals reference
