    How would you feel about an Ref. Time Out after the first dead ball of the last 2 minutes of each half? I think it would be cool to see some chess matching in the last few possessions of the halves, but more over it would save some Time Outs at the end that could really change up strategies in the final few.

    Yes or No?

    Yeah, there aren't enough time outs in basketball already.

    Isn't there already an auto-timeout during the first break of action after the last 3 minutes of the 1st and 2nd halves?

    Meh, football has twice the amount of TV timeouts plus the 2 minute warning.

    I wouldn't mind if they took away the 2 minute warning in the NFL.

    We need more stoppage of play in the last 2 mins. There are not enough commercials to keep the home viewers happy.

    This idea seems homosexual. And by homosexual, I mean gay. It sounds gay.

    Probably the OP, he's the only one who seems to think we need more timeouts at the end of games.

    Would be better if they get rid of all TO's with the exception of injuries and substitution. That'll make PG's earn the "floor general" label.

    I wish they would just add another ref and start calling the games correctly. The NBA is a joke and I don't watch it anymore outside the rockets.

    Speaking of hockey, that would be awesome if the NBA allow fights as well. Maybe for just like 10 seconds max since there are no gloves. That'll make players like the Oakley type relevant again.

    There should also be pinch free-throw shooters and power plays when flagrant fouls are committed
