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?"
「從娛樂的角度來看，我們剝奪了人們最大的樂趣，那就是不能打架。我希望能把打架重
新帶回來……還有什麼比小衝突更有趣呢？
為什麼在棒球比賽中，他們可以清空替補席？每次有人在NBA被擊打時，你根本不需要去
查看回放看看是否違反規則，我不明白為什麼某些運動可以清空替補席。他們有球棒和武
器，而我們只有一個籃球。其他運動的場地是最硬的，使用的器材是冰球和球桿，而我們
卻不允許稍微動一下？ 」
