Damian Lillard agrees with Jeff Van Gundy ... the NBA needs to eliminate halftime, saying 'I’m w [JVG] on halftime lol… I do not fw it'
"This whole idea of what goes on at halftime, I think is so misunderstood," Jeff told the outlet."It’s a lot of either praising what just happened or correcting. But you could do that in two minutes out by the bench in an elongated timeout.
The 61-year-old analyst didn't stop at halftime ... JVG also said the NBA should save free throws for crunch time. “So my most radical one is to eliminate free throws until the last four minutes,” Van Gundy said."If you get fouled on a shooting foul, you just get the points. You don’t go to the line. And you don’t go to the line for technical free throws."While the networks probably won't love Jeff's halftime idea -- likely making it a nonstarter -- Van Gundy is adamant his free throw rule change needs to be adopted.
"The only person that likes free throws is a play-by-play announcer because they can wax poetically about some story. It’s the extra point of the NBA. It serves no rational, reasonable purpose."
