Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread
Shot clock change is only going to affect teams trying to drain the clock later in games. Tragic for them, I guess? No team is going to use those extra 10 seconds at any other point for any other purpose, unless they don't know how to run an offense.

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread
All I see when teams grab an offensive rebound is dribbling for ten seconds before starting a play.
This change will get the movement and action going faster. I'm for it.
I am more interested in the other changes because the language is blah and I expect it will be even more confusing once they pass.

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread
If there's a rule change I want, it's to cut out number of timeouts late in game, and forbid teams from calling a timeout if down by a certain number of possessions with under a minute to go. Frustrating watching game where a team is down 10 with 30 seconds to go, and coach just calls a timeout.Comment

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread
Yes, potentially more entertainment in the most entertaining part of the game. Not much change otherwise, so I don't see this change as a negative thing at all.
Last offseason they changed the number of timeouts that a team can take in the final two minutes from three to two. There's really not much they can do otherwise. With that said, I don't see a ton of timeouts taken down 10 with 30 seconds left.My 2K17 Boston Celtics MyLeague

The shot clock reset to 14 seconds worked well in the Summer League. I'm all for that change."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread
Yup. The new shot clock rule worked just fine in Summer League. Teams will adjust and the majority of fans opposed to the change soon will as well.Comment

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread
It was dumb for it to reset to 24 in the first place since teams don't have to deal with the other side of the court on offensive rebounds. Actually it should probably reset to 16 seconds but I guess it's better to keep it the same as after defensive fouls with less than 14 seconds left. Either way this change makes sense to me.My 2K17 Boston Celtics MyLeague

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread
The change of the shot clock rule will most impact end of games. Teams can't just burn 48 seconds anymore. I'm definitely in favor of it, it works well in FIBA, I wouldn't mind them implementing more FIBA rulesComment
