Joe Mazzulla on @ZoAndBeetleShow on desired NBA rule changes initially pitches
idea of NBA power play (5 vs. 4 after fouls) then really goes full Joe:
“The biggest thing that we rob people of, from an entertainment standpoint,
is you can’t fight any more. I wish you could bring back fighting … what’s
more entertaining than a little scuffle? … How come in baseball, they’re
allowed to clear benches? … Every time someone gets clubbed [in the NBA],
you don’t need to go to the monitor to see if a misdemeanor has been
committed … I just don’t get why some sports are allowed to clear the
benches. They have bats and weapons, we don’t. We just have a ball. The
other sport has one of the hardest surfaces and playing instrument in pucks
and sticks and we’re not allowed to throw down a little bit?"
“从娱乐的角度来看，我们剥夺了人们最大的乐趣，那就是不能打架。我希望能把打架重
新带回来……还有什么比小冲突更有趣呢？
为什么在棒球比赛中，他们可以清空替补席？每次有人在NBA被击打时，你根本不需要去
查看回放看看是否违反规则，我不明白为什么某些运动可以清空替补席。他们有球棒和武
器，而我们只有一个篮球。其他运动的场地是最硬的，使用的器材是冰球和球杆，而我们
却不允许稍微动一下？ ”
