On Wednesday Silver was asked by Dan Patrick on the Dan Patrick Show for the wildest ideas that have been discussed in NBA offices as they try to improve the game, and Silver took the opportunity to make the case for a change he feels would be beneficial: shorter games in the form of 10-minute quarters.

The two coaches voiced their concerns about the idea of shortening NBA games to boost television viewership before the Knicks’ 122-112 win over Denver on Wednesday.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver has always maintained that he is open to discussing potential changes, even radical ones. Silver cares about tradition, and he hasn't spent the last 10-plus years implementing weird gimmicks, but dating back to his first Board of Governors meeting on the job, he has wanted the league to be able to adapt when necessary.
