Would this make the NBA about 5,546 times better to watch?

OK, reading some column last week and it mentioned the idea of eliminating timeouts during the final three minutes of an NBA game.

Ever watched an old NBA game, they go BACK AND FORTH with awesome intensity.

There is no timeout after timeout after 20 second timeout.

I would tweak it and allow a team to call one timeout from 3:00 to 1:00 remaining, and a second with less than a minute left.


Would this work? Would this increase ratings and produce millions of extra dollars of revenue?

Curious what you think.
