On Tuesday, we found out that the NBA would begin limiting teams to just 90 seconds after starting lineups were announced to get on court and ready for the tip. This is aimed at cutting down the long handshake and prep routines a number of players and teams have adopted. If a team isn't ready to tip after 90 seconds, referees can assess delay of game warnings. Multiple warnings can be assessed and, per usual, the second warning leads to a technical foul and a free throw for the other team.
Thank goodness for the NBA league office.
UPDATE: It appears that the Celtics actually earned the first warning on Saturday. We can't win anything.
