I’m sure that many of you have been following the news about the NBA playoffs this year. The last time I watched the playoffs was over ten years ago as a young guy. I was a proud owner of a blue and white Minnesota Timberwolves jersey. The playoffs have always been a huge highlight for my life, and I’ve always been a fan of the NBA. I always thought the big names on the court were the best and the best thing about the NBA.
I’ve been thinking about the playoffs a lot this summer. They always give me something to think about. I used to spend hours on end watching games on TV. I always had to be careful with the volume level. One game in particular always made me feel like I was in another world. It was a game between the Portland Trail Blazers and the New York Knicks in the first round. I was watching Game 6 when there was a commercial break.
The game ended with the Knicks down by 18 points, and the game clock started. I was watching the game on TV when an announcer said, “There are four minutes left on the clock, and if the Knicks are able to get back into the game, they will play for the next four minutes.” I knew the game had gotten completely out of hand, but I wasn’t able to stop the game.
I love a good game of basketball. I love to watch basketball games. I am just not allowed to watch basketball games with people my age. I know that it is bad form, and I just want to play basketball. I have to be careful though, because if I let the game get very out of hand, the rules are really going to get in my way.
And the NBA rules are very strict. It is as much a business as it is a sport and if you break a rule, you are likely to get fired. However, if you’re a Knicks fan, you want to be in the game and it’s a game of life and death. The game is not a game you can just quit.
So let’s say you are a Lakers fan, you want to be in the game. There is a rule that says they can only play with four players, so you could play with your buddies, but you would have to forfeit the game because you have 4 players. Another rule is that you can only score 50 points before you are out of the game. On top of that, you can’t shoot more than 10 free throws in a game.
It’s no secret that the NBA has a lot of rules. These are some of the most restrictive in the league, and the way in which the league has enforced them is nothing short of bizarre. The point of the whole thing is to prevent teams from winning games by getting totally outplayed. In reality, teams are allowed to get completely outplayed, but the league has limited the amount of time that teams can play before they must forfeit the game.
While it’s not a surprise that the NBA likes to cut down on the amount of time they can play, it’s surprising that the NBA would want to limit all that time in the first place.
It’s more surprising that the NBA would want to limit the amount of time that teams can play before they forfeit the game. In reality, that’s not a problem that the league has. The league has to make every game a 50 point contest and they can’t do that while cutting down on the amount of time that teams can play.
Teams have to be able to play at a minimum of 50 points by the time the game even starts. The NBA has to make sure that its not only teams playing 50 points, but every single person on the court. That way even if a team gets a big lead in the game, they wont have to give up their best players to get back into a game.
