Should the NBA implement the Elam Ending to Summer League and/or G League?

With the intention of working out the kinks are optimizing it before implementing it in the NBA
Last night was awesome. More intensity in a damn all star game than you get in your run of the mill regular season game. Under the elam ending, good games could take longer (which is ok, it's a good game) and bad games could get shorter because the team that's way ahead at the start of the untimed period only needs a handful of points to win the game.
Also, a next basket wins scenario is superior to a buzzer beater.

According to who?
There's nothing in the bible that says basketball games must exclusively have timed periods.

Why not?
You can get multiple posessions that are do or die where both teams are at max intensity. With a timed game, you really only can get that once.
Also, it gives life to teams down by reasonable amounts. It's much easier to go on a 10-0 run when the clock isn't a factor.

its saying, without scoring, you can't win. its mandating offense in a sense.

Well, it's hard to win in most sports without scoring.

I wasn't aware that you could currently win an NBA game without scoring.

you should be able to win by holding onto a lead.
in a football game, the winning team has to score 8 in the 4th quarter to win the game... Well, they should be able to win by not allowing the other team to score enough to overtake the lead.

The only answer is because that's the way it's always been IMO.

milking clocks is a part of football, basketball, soccer

bc your point lead was earned in the first 3 quarters. If that team was up by 30, they shouldn't be required to score another 24 to win the game in the 4th. Its a fun rule change for gimmick games though.

So because it is, it's the way it has to be?
What does it matter that milking clock is currently part of the game?

The TBT Elam Ending requires a team to score 7 points with the clock stopping at 4 min.
That would be a 21 point quarter for an NBA team if they score the required number of points in the amount of time set off. Every single NBA team averages well more than 21 points a quarter.

Your also changing history of the game if you went to this new rule change with comparisons of players ppg averages and historical numbers in different settings.

It doesn't have to be the same score as last night. You could do 6 (or 5 or 4 or 9 etc) minutes in the fourth, followed by an untimed where you have to hit the leader's score+ 10 (or 12, or 15 or 7 etc)

They would be up by 30 with about 2 minutes to go, then would need to score 8 or so more.
if you're up 30 and can't score 8 more before the other team scores 38, it's hard to argue that team should still win other then to say, "but we always did it the other way"
