The NBA is a business. The players are at a job. Don't want to come into work, you not getting paid:manny:.

Want to play less games, gonna have to take less money:manny:. The players have a responsibility to the shareholders and the fans to play when healthy. At the heart of it the NBA is not just a game or it would be just really athletic dudes playing at places like Rucker.

I always thought durability was just part of the game. Almost like a skill set. Playing all the games should be expected.

If this continues the next tv deal will be substantially lower (correcting for inflation). Plus adding the effect of streaming and piracy, a lot of players today are effecting the money of later players

Rest is one thing but blatantly giving the sponsors, fans, and television companies the middle finger by sitting out prime time games is something else. These guys are fukking it up for the next generation of NBA players.

Looking out for self and fukk the future. That's the American way:francis:

One thing I have learned in life is that there is really no use in arguing with a black man that is Zeke's age, right or wrong. He is stuck in his ways and thought process and nothing you say is gonna get him to budge in the slightest. He's an OG and entitled to his opinion.

My issue is how everything falls on the players. Players didn't start this rest shyt, coaches did with their owner's approval. It was owner's greed that has transformed the playoffs into a 4 round, 7 game gauntlet. Owner's are the one's that will never give up dates in order to shorten the season. Players have proven they will take what they are given.

Hell yeah. We literally got hundreds of thousands of companies releasing carbon into the air to make products, using fossil fuels and shyt like that is heating up our planet and melting thousands of miles long and deep of ice at our poles and no matter what, these hoe ass companies will tell actual scientist and geographic specialist that the science is a lie :mjlol:. Obama shut down a pipeline that's supposed to stretch hundreds of miles that will also use fossil fuels for production. This gay ass fakkit ass President has restarted completing the pipeline and will tell a fukking scientist that it's not fukking our world up :snoop:. I really do hope there is a heaven and hell cause the people who are killing the future of our planet and know they are doing it, lying to the public and making billions off it will all be the scum of the WOAT afterlife. Trump is literally like the fukkin Antichrist smh.

These billionaires are so damn dumb that they don't even think about all the money they made for their families will end up irrelevant if our planet gets sick, cause you best believe I'm grabbing all my guns and running up in somebody's big ass mansion with solar panels and I'm killing every person there, period, that's my shyt now :sas2:.

What's so fukking hard playing 28 to 30 minutes a game in a regular season especially if u today's players which people say they are more stronger, faster and athletic than the OGs

Play like 7 minutes a quarter late in the season ESPECIALLY if u play in the eastern conference and u the Cavs who could be a 8th seed and still reach the finals...plus u have 3 months off in a off season to rest

Players void their contract when they rest themselves. Stop looking silly.

Because the season is too long and the Cavs clinched a playoff spot long ago. Games literally mean nothing to them, so ensure your stars are healthy playoff time until the NBA changes the rules.
