Joe Mazzulla doesn't care about cutting NBA quarters to 10 minutes, but Adam Silver is 'a fan' of the idea
Briefly

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver discussed potential changes to game structure, including the idea of shortening quarters from 12 minutes to 10. This proposal aims to adapt to modern viewing habits, as television ratings have declined. Coaches, including Celtics' Joe Mazzulla, expressed indifference toward the concept, emphasizing the essence of the game. Silver highlighted that aligning game lengths with other sports might enhance viewer engagement. As the NBA contemplates this shift, the potential impact on records and gameplay dynamics remains a concern.
I think that a two-hour format for a game is more consistent with sort of modern television habits.
If a sport as locked into tradition as baseball can make such a change, the NBA shouldn't be afraid to take a look at it either.
