A Problem, Perhaps

I was watching the end of the Bucks-Raptors game last week, and the last two minutes of the game took twenty-one minutes in real time.

That seems unwieldy.

On top of the many, many timeouts called by coaches, now there are endless video replays. Every single call gets reviewed, seemingly. It should be the most dramatic moments of the game, but instead, it's complete tedium.

Basketball has too many commercial timeouts and delays already. Which is too bad, because the game itself is fast (usually) and it really flows. When the best teams play, I think it's more fun to watch than at any time in my life (which covers a lot of ground). But watching a game live is impossible.
