If nothing else, the NBA is in the business of entertainment, and in the business of entertainment, a high scoring offensive affair (I don't care what sport you are discussing) will always be more entertaining to the average fan than a low scoring defensive affair. That is why rules in sports are always geared to the offense. A grind it out Wisconsin vs Michigan St affair can be fun, I'll grant you that, but there is nobody that wouldn't mind seeing some early 90s UNLV vs Loyola Maramont affair right now. Hank Geathers and Bo Kimble vs Larry Johnson and Stacy Augmun, yes please.
