In case you missed it during the San Antonio Spurs-Denver Nuggets preseason game, Denver was called for a technical foul for violating the new NBA 90-second rule which cuts down on pregame rituals. In a nutshell, from the time pregame introductions end, teams will have 90 seconds to return to the court and be ready for tipoff.

Many NBA players, such as Kevin Durant, have voiced their displeasure of this new rule but not Matt Bonner.

"I think it's good. It keeps everybody on task and gets the game going. Cuts out a lot extracurricular pregame stuff."

Say what you will about the new rule, the new rule will speed up the game, however, it does tend to kill more of the fun for the fans and players to enjoy.
