New NBA rules

[Dakota]

I an not a basketball ref. Just a fan. What do you think of the new NBA rules?

Specifically, the legalization of the zone defense. Won't this just slow down the game & lower scores? Why is this a good thing?

How about the 3-second lane violation for the defense? What affect with that have on the referees, having to pay attention to both offense and defense for 3 second violations? (Well, blatent camping-out violations in the NBA. I can't remember the last time THIS call was closely made!)
