Proposed NBA rule changes

I don't have an issue with it. I don't really care either way.
 
One thing I guess it changes is they have to make a quick decision on whether to reset the clock on a rebound. If there were, say, 17 seconds on the clock when you got the rebound you wouldn't reset it down to 14 you'd leave it at 17 just like with fouls. But if it's below 14 then you reset it to 14 just like with fouls. With a foul there's a stoppage and you decide what to set the clock to. On a rebound you do it right away. But I'm sure they can handle it. I just wouldn't want to see too many stoppages where the ref blows the whistle because the scoreboard operator did or didn't do what the ref thought was the right thing.

But perhaps most of the time there won't be more than 14 seconds on the clock when you shoot except on fast breaks.
 
It's only off an offensive rebound. I don't really care. Most offensive rebounds turn into layup attempts or kickouts for quick threes.

Not even sure why they would address this... how about voting on a rule where James Harden doesn't get 14 steps on a step back three or get to shoot free throws for swinging his arms unnaturally into other guys instead of trying to make actual baskets.

Intentional fouls need to go away too... I swear to you we do it more than anyone and we eff it up enough that I'm not sure we really benefit from it. We do it and then it gets called a clear path... or we are in the penalty... or DM does it when he already has 2 fouls in the 1st quarter. It's annoying and I've seen guys do it in pickup ball now a little... which is just egregious imo.
 
Also our clock operator is like the worst in the league... at least 2-3 times per game they screw up and stop the game. We need less complexity for this person... or a new clock operator.

To stop intentionally fouling? Or to be more concrete so we don't have to see 3 minutes of review every time it is being applied?
 
I don't see any positives from changing the shot clock to 14 after an offensive rebound. The game doesn't need to be faster. NBA games have a good pace already. No reason to make a change just for the sake of change. Teams who get an offensive rebound earned another full possession.

Don't the majority of plays off of an offensive rebound result in a quick possession anyway? Putback layups/dunks, kick out jumpers, etc?

It's a no for me. Seems rather pointless.
