Wouldn't it make more sense to cut down the preseason and start the season 2 weeks earlier than to end the season later?

I mean I really don't see the need for an 8 game preseason.

There is that too. They have so many options on the table to remedy this shyt and I'm pretty confident they won't explore any of them :francis:.

Silver is supposedly gonna "look into" cutting down the preseason so there's hope...I guess.

i like to see it also but ain't gonna happen. the power brokers gonna squeeze every bit of life, energy, TV advertising and seat revenue out of these players as possible. use 'em up and bring in some more fresh bodies.

They could space out the games so their are no back-to-backs. Pop said he wasn't coming into work if they did that though. :manny:

What really has changed that is causing these injuries because 82 game seasons go back a long time?

soil for growing and the food supply (gmo) changed over the years. chemical additives and that monsanto poison is the proof. seen dudes legs and bones snap the last couple of years like never before.

Duncan and manu both 132 years old and seem to get through it just fine....

These young nikkas need to get better conditioning coaches.

okay no, the issue is that guys on exponentially more athletic and explosive than ever before. the stress on the average NBA player's body has never been anything close to what it is now. on top of that, high school and college programs just don't have the proper conditioning programs to give guys the foundation and stability that they need going forward at that level.

the best solution is to ease off of back to backs (which really only exist due to travel costs - but ownership is finally starting to realize that missing star power is a greater expense in the long run) and a longer all-star break (I honesty think that moving the season back a bit to have the all-star game/weekend sit right between the round of 32 and the first games of the sweet 16). 82 games is just fine, they just need to space it out a bit and get with the times.
