[net.sport.hoops] Why is the NBA so boring?

Here is an idea that came up at lunch.  Allow the defense to play ANY
kind of defense they choose.  To keep the middle from becoming too
congested, the 3-seconds-in-the-lane rule could then apply to both
offensive and defensive players.  (Maybe widen the lane also.)
	This would put more weight on the referees, but are there any
other reasons this couldn't be done?

Please don't pick on baseball.  It's the only real sport left of the big 3.

	If you want a REAL challenge, try naming the Seattle Mariners
starting lineup (:-).  Fans from Seattle are not eligible for this one.
