it is only mentioned in one sentence:
Another potential addition next season: Countdown clocks for timeouts to assure consistency throughout the league.

i'm very excited about this, being a internacional fan, those lenghty timeouts are a killer, especially at the end of a close game.

On the side note, it seams that this Silver dude is making some real good decisions and is constantly working on improving the game for the players, owners and the fans as well.
 The things i don't like about the rules right now is that silly hack-a-shaq rule. If you can't shoot your FT's well that's on you, it is a part of the game and to bad the fans don't like you, I mean what's next.
And the other one is the frequency of going back to watch the replay. It should be like tennis, in this case the coach has three challanges that he can use. The refs are using the replay around clear cut decisions "just to be sure" and it takes a minute or two(some of the guys want to see every frame and angle, even tho the first camera view was conclusive).

what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
