NBA Fans Outraged Over Adam Silver’s Latest Idea

The NBA fans are pushing back against Adam Silver’s interest in shorter games, and their objections go beyond simply resisting change.

The replies showed frustration with scheduling, advertising and the potential impact on players outside the starting lineup. Some commenters offered alternatives instead of merely rejecting the idea.
