I try to defend the NBA when I can, as I truly feel that the league has made improvements in the past decade, but I can definitely agree with you there.
It is supremely exciting to see a team hit a shot with a little time left, and see the opposing team immediately inbound it and rush down the floor.
Cut each team down to one timeout in the last two minutes, as you do with fouls. If that seems too strict, give them one full and one :20 timeout. I'd rather just let each team have one full TO in the last 2 minutes. It would add a breathlessness to the end of games that would be invigorating.
