The NBA wants to speed up the pace of it’s game and it is exploring ways to do so. One of these proposals is to slightly do away with free throws, which would reduce the amount of time a game takes overall. Every trip to the foul line could be for only one free throw from now on, regardless of reason. The fouled shooter would take one foul shot, worth two points. This rule, if instituted, would shave an estimated five minutes off of game time. New commissioner Adam Silver has been looking to make his own mark on the league so do not be surprised if this change becomes reality.
