You must not watch a lot of football, this took me about 2 seconds to find. Literally the next frame is the guy getting tackled. End of a playoff game, refs let it go. Cowboys score the winning TD, Lions fans are pissed.

Not a fan of either of these teams, I had no rooting interest in this game.

Is it that he plays on a team no one cares about?

It’s a travel. He took too many steps. Passing to yourself is also a traveling violation.

So he gets credit for an assist to himself?

Not a travel technically, but you aren’t allowed to pass the ball to yourself either. It should be called a double dribble even though he didn’t dribble again, I know that doesn’t make sense but thems tha rules!

No, its an obvious travel.

If he lets go and regains possession that’s a double dribble I think

I’m rubbing my balls all over your angry little comment.

oh fuck him. it’s not “millennials” its people have better things to do, like look at blog post and argue why that super cool dunk was actually travelling.

The game is much more fun when it is free flowing back and forth. They should be trying to keep that going as much as possible.

Easy fix: Call intentional fouls. When the entire bench is yelling “FOUL HIM!”, and the defender bearhugs the ball-handler, call it as an intentional, because is was. About a week of that, and 15 minutes of fouls at the end of a game goes away.

Did you not read Silver’s quote? He basically said just that.

Another fuck millenials take. Good God, it is like commissioner Voldersport doesnt realise that it is hyper-focused millenials who, mostly, are the ones playing the fucking game! Seriously, it’s not like these players just wander out of position and go chat with their friends on the opposing team when they’re bored.

Are there any analytics on endgame strategies in the NBA? Clock management has been studied brilliantly in the NFL by a few people, but is there any proof that if you save yourself a second and a half for a 3-point shot that you’re likely to win the game?

I want shorter games because I need that extra time to make sure the baby boomers haven’t snuck something by in the Senate. That, and to manscape.

David Stern was happy the public had a short attention span every time a story about Donald Sterling came out.

I think the problem isn’t with the molasses like pace of the end of basketball games, it’s that blue agave nectar is a much more healthy alternative to molasses as a sweetener in baked goods, drinks, and whatnot. I went to this awesome little bakery a few days ago, it had THE. BEST. blondie brownies. I normally prefer…

Hi Mr Silver, Millenial here. Can confirm that the end of basketball games are largely unbearable, yet I have more than enough patience to sit through a 3 hour baseball game perfectly content. Figure it out.
