I do really like the move to reduce the timeouts, but it doesn't go nearly far enough. Worst thing with basketball right now is the number of timeouts late in games. My ideal solution: after a team calls a timeout, they cannot call another timeout until a full minute has elapsed on the game clock. The purpose of timeouts should be to rest players and discuss strategy, not to advance the ball up to midcourt.

Its basically for Dallas/San Antonio's sake.
Last year, the 2 best teams in the league had to play eachother in the 2nd round, instead of the conference finals.
