#NEWNBA Aaron Gordon calls for more time off during the playoffs

[In The Zone '98]

It was a yes or no question, but I'll take that as a no

I've seen most of the Knicks games this season. Definitely all the playoff games

I gotta do me. I can't be on Twitter debating people who don't watch what I like to watch

It's all good bruh, I don't think too many people are watching 70+ games of their team. You could probably trim that number down to 65 and even the most hardcore are still probably watching the same amount of hoops

I don't care about those who need less

 

[Ruck]

He's right. The steroids in the chicken and chemicals in the food is making recovery hard

 

[HollywoodP]

Dumbasses running around like chickens with their heads cut off for 40 minutes and callin it defense. You thought you could maintain that thru the playoffs? Look at you now. Don't worry...you got plenty of time to rest up b.

 

[FlimFlam]

sincere question not no troll jive

how are there more injuries and yet the stars playing much longer

the big names of the league have unprecedented career length and vitality as a class and as individuals (based on my interpretation at least)

 

[Buckeye Fever]

A lot of y'all would probably want NBA teams to play only 1 game a week and drag the damn season out a year and a half

It's basketball. Not working at a coal mine where you might not make it out alive.

Let me make a store run for y'all

Man that nikka played on a grade 2 hamstring injury that's supposed to keep you out for weeks. Coli brehs can't go up 2 flights of stairs without huffing and puffing tryna shyt on that man

Brehs crying about "The Space" they cover, teams don't even try playing defense in the regular season. They just getting cardio 90% of the time

 

[pete clemenza]

They played 14 games in 30 days with only a 6 man rotation. They are being held together by gum and shoestring. Makes it even more embarrassing the clippers lost to the nuggets

This current CBA is gonna make it so hard to maintain depth if you're a championship team. I can see this occurring more in the future where teams only have 6 reliable guys in the playoffs

Ty Lue dropped down to a 7 man rotation as well as the series progressed. I know Harden has playoff shortcomings, but he was gassed by game 7.

 

[UpNext]

So you don't see a correlation between injury management and injuries? Players are playing less in 2025 and getting injured more. Playing 82 games is now seen as an amazing feat.

That would mean the game is being played at a dramatically more physical and athletic level than it was before. But folks aren't trying to be honest about that so

Yeah nobody tryna hear that during the chucking 3 pointers era.

 

[///Vega+++]

obviously he's going to get knocked for stating that after their poor game 7 performance but he's not saying anything outlandish at all and only contrarians for the sake of being so would disagree with him

 

[CHICAGO]

So instead of lowering the games and introducing rest to have all the stars healthier for the post season you as a fan would rather see
Tatum
Curry
Brown
Garland
Mobley
Mitchell
Gordon
Butler
Suggs
Holiday
etc
retire because the schedule got them battling crazy injuries during playoff time

LMAO

THESE INJURIES HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH THE PLAYOFF SCHEDULE

Is the NBA the only sport where the athletes think giving your body more rest will get it prepared for the playoff. Maybe if they played with more intensity during the regular season they would be accustom to the intensity of the playoffs and wouldn’t suddenly putting strain on their muscles and joints. Imagine a sprinter jogging everyday at practice and then trying to show up for the Olympics.
