NBA Embraces Changes with Style…
The NBA, led by its fearless commissioner Adam Silver, is switching gears once again like a hyperactive chameleon at a costume party. The Emirates NBA Cup is reaching its third season, along with tweaks to the Coach’s Challenges. Now the semifinals will be on the higher-seeded team’s home court, leaving Las Vegas to host only the championship game. It’s like giving Cinderella the keys to the pumpkin carriage, but only until midnight.
Meanwhile, Coach’s Challenges are getting a revamp to cut down on review times, so they’re quicker than a squirrel on a double espresso! Instead of on-court officials, the Replay Center will make foul calls, hoping to speed up the action. Also, missed end-of-quarter heaves won’t haunt player stats anymore—goodbye guilt-ridden millisecond bombs, hello happy-go-lucky buzzer beaters!
