Post a rule change that you think would improve a sport
every now and then I see a sport with a rule (or absence of a rule) that I think is a detriment to the sport. bad rules
In the NBA, allow teams to subtract the salary of injured players from the salary cap.
Eliminate the first 46 minutes of the game and just play the last 2 minutes. This would speed up the game.
I always wanted the NBA to be one giant 4th quarter. Think of the ratings! MUST SEE TV!

You could get a bit of this effect if you used a tennis style scoring system.
Imagine each 'set' in basketball was a 5 minute period. First team to win 6 'sets' wins the game. Something like that.

Just a single 336 minute quarter marketed as a GAME 7 4th QUARTER!

Old Continental League worked something like that. Each quarter was awarded a point, and the game score leader 3 points, so 7 points total awarded. The team with the most points was credited with the win IIRC.

So the team with the most points wins every time? Novel.
Yeah, what am I missing here, the team with the higher total game score is gonna win at least 4-3 every time.
Pretty sure the idea is that the league standings would be based on points, not just wins/losses. So if you won the match you would always get more league points than the opponent but how many quarters you won would determine whether the points were awarded 7-0, 6-1, 5-2, or 4-3.
