Adam Silver wants to reduce preseason and back to backs.

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

Tell em how you know better..

these are some of the most fit athletes in the world...and during their off time in between seasons theyre still playing ball and working out (if theyre not partying)

do you really feel bad that they have play 32 minutes of basketball 2 nights in a row?

 

[GunRanger]

It's not about feeling bad.

If you play ball one day, you're not going to be 100% the next day.

It's usually pretty visible, guys aren't moving as well as the did the night before. Also, most players numbers go down on the 2nd night, except for the young guys.

Not to mention who wants to see star players sidelined with injuries weeks at a time? That can be reduced with fewer back to backs.

He can start by eliminating allstar weekend, bet he wont do that :drink:

He's off to a great start as the commish

I had been asking for a while why the hell so many Thursday's and certain other days only had 3-4 games scheduled. That used to piss me off cause it made absolutely no sense for the consumer who likes to watch as many teams as possible. But that makes sense if it's part of the TV contract so ensure as many eyes as possible on the national games. I love it if Silva changes that.

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

most back to backs are in cities with like an hour or 2 of bus traveling time in between...

i dont feel sorry for a guy making 7 million dollars having to get driven from boston to philly to play a basketball game on a tuesday and wednesday breh

it's not about feeling sorry for them, it's about ensuring the highest quality product they can.

with more rest and more days between games, you will get higher quality basketball. and more importantly, far less injuries.

Yeah, more games on Thursday will allow them to flex out of the shytty ones, even if it's just an extra 1 game.

forreal. shyt is garbage now.

eliminate all star weekend, give them 2 weeks off to recuperate.

preseason is way too long. half the time its some bum scrubs playing that won't even make the roster. 8 games of preseason? why?

 

[Tookalossfellbackcameback]

This how I know I'm just an old nicca and it's a different league with players cut from a different cloth. You got niccas playing 50 games a year, taking weeks off to "rest", shutting themselves down whenever they feel like the season is a wash, coaches handing out "maintenance days" like candy...back in the day niccas just balled. Can it be that it was all so simple then .

 

[The War Report]

Getting rid of back to backs would greatly improve the quality of games year round. fukk all those preseason games.


On the other hand, the reason why I fukks with baseball is because it's on every day.

Silver playing chess, all these accommodations being made now so the players will get bent over again come time for a new CBA

This isn't gonna stop shyt, Thibs is just gonna simulate games on what would've been the 2nd game of a back to back
