All Star Game--Elam Ending

I've pushed the Elam Ending on here before. We got to see it on a big stage during the ASG last night, and it was pretty awesome.
In normal games, it just tends to cut down on intentional fouling and keep gameplay more normal at the end. If there was one major basketball change, this would be it for me.
The Elam Ending is just stopping the clock at a predetermined point (4 min in The Basketball Tourney, the whole 4th last night), adding X points to the leading team's score and playing to that number. It's great in TBT and was great last night.

It's awesome.
Most, not all, that disagree would do so just because it's always been done one way if I had to guess.
I think it was Russillo who said it recently and was spot on IMO. If basketball had always done it the Elam way, then all of a sudden in 2020 someone wanted to introduce the timed ending with fouls every other possession that makes the last 2 minutes take 20 minutes, people would think that would be absurd to even consider.

game got serious when team bron started thinking they own the refs and should get all the calls. bunch of pussies.

The only thing that sucks about it is we'd never get buzzer beaters again like that Kawhi shot against the 76ers. And if it was implemented I'd like to see an additional rule that the game can't end on a free throw.

It makes teams actually play basketball at the end of games instead of what we have now
