Timeouts

I think they have too many.......I mean it does kinda ruin the flow of the game......yeah it is non stop running but Rugby players do it for 40 mins at stretch......n they dont even get referred to as "athletes"...

I think they should cut down the number of timeouts.....it'll bring a better flow to the game....maybe like 1 two min timeout per quarter(if u dont use it, its not gonna be carried on)....

I dunno but I just think this way it'll also encourage the use of more players......so guys like Darko might get a chance to play because the chance of Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace tiring will be higher :crazy:

timeouts are good i think..being a knicks fan, seeing stretches of 10+ minutes of scoreless ball kinda sucks..timeouts are really useful.

the only time it sucks is when a team is hot like the suns and they keep calling timeouts to slow them down

I think the number is fine, though it definitely shouldn't be increased. I just wish teams would kick the habit of calling timeouts when the came is clearly over. I can understand trying for a miracle four point play or simply gaining experience executing a play with little time to work with, but calling timeout with 2 seconds left and a deficit of 7 is just delaying the inevitable - as is fouling in the same situation.
