Adam Silver hints at NBA adopting 10-minute quarters

Antonio Losada is a computer scientist with an MS in Artificial Intelligence who decided to throw away a career in Academia to blog about the Knicks at P&T and successfully survived the sophomore slump solidifying himself as a bonafide starter.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver has floated the idea of shortening games to 40 minutes by switching from 12-minute quarters to 10 soon enough as he only sees benefits to it.

Speaking on “The Dan Patrick Show” on Wednesday, Silver acknowledged the NBA is the only major league still playing 48-minute games and said he believes a two-hour format would better fit modern viewing habits.
