Makes you really put it into perspective that people know the Raptors are good, especially because he kept referring to how well they played not only during pick-up, but that they did it during the season.
Good stuff, man. Thanks for sharing that.

Another one with lots of Raptors stuff. This time with bonus Serge Ibaka looking terrible.I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

Who was the short shorts kid with the UCLA shirt? He was smooth.

NBA's Board of Governors will likely pass those three measures at meeting September 20-21. Rule changes need two-thirds approval of teams to pass. https://t.co/cT1UogxU1N

14 second rule on an offensive rebound is a stupid rule.

The 24 second shot clock is intended to cover transitioning to the frontcourt and frontcourt play. With an offensive board you don't have to do the first part - 14 seconds is plenty.

It will be interesting to see if early in the season there are some extra shot clock violations because players aren't used to the shorter reset. Most likely, though, it shouldn't change the game too much. Most shots after offensive rebounds are immediate putbacks or kickouts for quick 3-pointers.
One area it will definitely change, though, is end of game situations. If a team is trying to hold on to a lead late in the game and they get an offensive rebound, they will almost always try to pull the ball out and use up the entire extra 24 seconds. Now, they'll only have 14 seconds. That could end up making a difference in some close games.

More kickouts with less time, means bigs will get even less touches for a play and more 3 pointer shots will go to the guards. I for one do not like this current trend that we are in to continue to grow.
Is that good?!
As for the more kickouts... did you read the whole sentence you quoted? Most offensive boards are putbacks or kickouts already. The only thing that will change for bigs is the scenario where the ball gets taken out, no immediate shot is taken, and a new play is run - and I'm not sure it's obvious that that would impact bigs any more than any other player.
