OK.

game time was reduced from 12 to 10 min quarters for TV if that is what you are asking

It's 82 games champ.
Are you referring to the NBL's 28 games because almost any other league outside NBA or G League is similar.

40 min games are common around the world too.

Not sure the 'change to 10 minutes' is the worst change made to the sport. This claim obviously references game duration, but basketball has 'always' been a 40 minute game - in my lifetime, at least - with the move to 48 mins the departure from the norm/international standard.

If you're looking for changes with adverse impacts on the game, try changing from halves to quarters. Yes, once it was a [40 minute] game of halves.

Try eliminating jump balls.

Try inventing a 'flop' call. [OK, that's out of sequence.]

Try bringing in a three-point line.

Actually, given the grizzles about the lack of post play & the NBA game at least becoming a 'game of three pointers', I wonder if the three point line might not disappear before long. Sincerely hope so.

I'm sure there are plenty of other contenders for the 'worst change ever' award but those are a few from my list.

NRL, AFL and cricket have all found ways to minimise the monotonous momemts in their respective sports. Of course the NBA wants as many breaks as possible and they can afford to do that for many reasons. I think the NBL needs to do the same as these sports so theres as few stoppages as possible and they are as short as possible.

Yeah, credit where it's due, Channel 9 did a superb job of removing the monotonous aspects of cricket from its broadcast ;)

Im talking about T20 and the speed at which overs need to be bowled, how soon batsmen need to take crease etc. Test cricket will always be monotonous to some.

Lets just play 162 games per season like MLB Baseball ;)

Anyone have an idea of what the fixtures will be for next season? Are going to have an extra 2 home and away games? Or will they go and play each team 3 time's? Seeing that they don't do the split against each team for ladder positions?

I think 4 games against each team works well.
Assuming next season we go to 32 games, I think that will be fine, I don't mind a couple of extra games.

Any more than that, I think we start to run into problems with venues being unavailable due to Tennis, and we'd have to see more midweek games, of which I'm not a fan

If you want games to go faster, how about enforcing the 5 second rule for free throws instead of screwing around for 20 seconds while the player bounces the ball up and down 57 times to ensure it's reasonably inflated or whatever? Rule is 5 seconds to shoot the damn thing once you get it from the ref. So shoot it.

of course they have a team meeting before that as well gordong....

I rather they enforce the the three seconds in the key, and even follow the nba re defensive three seconds.

Actually, given the grizzles about the lack of post play & the NBA game at least becoming a 'game of three pointers', I wonder if the three point line might not disappear before long. Sincerely hope so.

USA is a much bigger place with far more teams both at a junior and professional level and more fans hence the more games.

longer games please
