Sorry, nobody's gonna tell me when and when I can't make a thread so I won't advocate that for another.
He didn't break any forum rules making this thread and not only that, it's a good thread.
I'm not sure where your irritations are coming from.
@KingSpeed you're gonna need to either take some people of ignore or read the forum. One of these things needs to happen.

Preach mothafucka preach!!!!!
I think I agree with you here, but I also think at least a play could be run in 14 seconds. Speaking strictly Blazers here, but Dame doesn’t usually start the offense until 14-15 seconds are on the clock anyways. With this change, you probably can’t run a full offensive set in the sense of multiple options. So say Ed gets a rebound passes it out to a guard the shot clock probably is down to 8-9 before the guard is able to set up a new play. Now it’s a little arbitrary, but If they want it to be less than 24 seconds, I’d be more ok with it, if it was say reset to 18 seconds.
Edit
Around the NBA thread august would be a perfect place for this.
But frankly, it just doesn't matter.
Should at least fix the title, like @HAAK72 suggested.

I’d like more evidence that it isn’t true other than you just saying that. To my eyes Dame walks the ball up court especially after the other team scores almost every play and neber seems to be in much of a hurry.This is just not true.
Also, with a rebound and a kick out, by the time all the players get into the set, I'd wager there would be about 10 seconds to run a play. Therefore, semi penalizing offensive rebounds.
What are you talking about? You're misinterpreting the change.
• "A personal foul is committed on any offensive player during his team's transition scoring opportunity."
This change is regarding off ball fouling in transition when it relates to a clear path foul. The change simply means that if A2 is fouled he shoots the free throws instead of A1 (the offensive player with the ball).
It was my understanding that they get the ball back after the foul shot if that is not the case anymore then I do not care. If that is the case then I think it is a crappy rule.
Is this rule change the reason for not bringing my back Ed?

I agree that it would take the clock down to much, that why I said if they feel like they need to reset it to less than 24 seconds than I think 18 seconds is a better number than 14.
They need a new button, there’s like and 100x like...Lol no. Just Neil Olshey stupidity.
I know that rule yeah... I mean I guess we can call that a jog? I guess in my opinion it seems like when Dame is out there he’s a much more methodical pg and doesn’t seem to be in a huge hurry to get things going. This isn’t a slight, Dames awesome. I just don’t see him as the Westbrook type of get the ball up court and get into the offense early in the clock. You might be right it’s not 14 seconds but they take a lot of the clock most possessions.Bro, there's an 8 second backcourt rule. That alone means we need at least 16 seconds to start the play. Also, Dame rarely walks the ball up the court. It's usually a jog and it takes about 4 seconds with no backcourt pressure.

Keep your eyes on the shot clock when Dame crosses the timeline:
So far I’m 3 minutes in (sorry bad reception) I count like 4 plays early in the clock, 3 plays later in the clock and some of them were just against the clock in general.
I’ll have to watch it when I get home.

Those kind of indicate that the Blazers are like slightly below average in pace. I don’t know what else to say, I don’t really think that the Blazers and Dame get out and get early offense all that much.
I’m not sure how I’m just flat out wrong, but I definitely could be and I probably was about the 14 second thing it probably is a couple seconds more like 16ish.
Fair enough. Though there is a reason the Blazers were last in fast break points, and played against set defenses a lot.Pace doesn't have much to do with when you start your play. It's when your play ends. Like D'antoni's 7 seconds or less offense.
It's rare teams would set up after an offensive rebound though.This is just not true.

People can hate on camby all they want but he was so freakin good at controlled tipping the ball out to a guard.That's not rare at all and used to happen all the time off of Przybilla, Camby, Rolo tip outs.
Why would you question him having Nick on IGNORE and not The HCP?
