	No, not for me.  I'm not at all impressed by +100 point games,
and I find the most exciting play in basketball to be the stall/four-corner.
Any bunch of yo-yos can run and gun, and if both teams hit, run up mucho
points; it takes finesse and *nerves* to hold a basketball for ten minutes.

	I vote for the three-point play (dunks are great, but long shots are
artistic) and for the elimination of the shot clock.

	The most exciting basketball game I ever saw was won 8-4.  Brilliant
coaching on the part of the winners, who were playing with a five man team
(period) due to flu and were grossly outsized.
