Are they going to reduce the price of tickets, parking, and food at the game by a proportionate amount? Otherwise, I'm against it.

I would rather go with a shortened season. The season used to be 80 games not too long ago. But this would not bother me. Maybe they should get rid of quarters instead of reducing time.

Peace

"The Celtics beat the Nets 95-90 in the game, which lasted 1 hour, 58 minutes -- approximately 15-30 minutes shorter than a standard, 48-minute game."
