Bruh coli nikkas kill me, they calling him soft in here but you boys get tired of just the thought of going to the gym before or after work :laff:
This the thing… these ain’t regular Coli brehs. These are ELITE athletes being paid millions of dollars with paid specialist taking care of them 24/7… they should be held to higher standards

It seems like every year we have a bunch of injuries come post season. Something has to be done. Either shorten the season or give more breaks in the post season. Idgaf about all the rah-rah we're so tough back in the day nonsense. Today, folks are breaking down left and right, something has to be done.

If they can't handle it, maybe they need to think about retiring.

So why not just let the season simply be the playoffs then? These dudes will STILL find some reason to complain. and say they need more of something else. There's no reason a post-season should end a couple of days before the draft. It's already spread too long. They get 2.5 days rest on average.

AG would've died in the 90s where they routinely played B2B plsyoffs games. In the 80s they played B2B, B2B, B2B regular season games.

I give AG props for playing through his injury but the playoffs are about a grind. This ain't a vacation plus they got 2 days between games 6 and 7 anyway.



If Gordon played in the ‘90s he never would’ve injured his hamstring since he’d be playing against literal mechanics.

But what happens when the specialists taking care of them 24/7 say that the game has changed, that they're doing a lot more on the court than players were 30 years ago that's causing more wear and tear?

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 :martin:

No bodied told his dumb ass to do that, point stands this still soft af thisba young man's league. Finish first round in 5 they don't have these issues. Or how about this geta better seed
In the 1990s, NBA first rounds were three of five, so he would have played less games back then.

Teams carry full roster of players, and should adjust playing times of starters and backups.

I be trying to understand these new ninjas and this current nba culture of rest and load management. While there is some merit, shut ya bytch ass up gordon

I remember when theres was no days off during the playoffs. Games everynight. Now we wait days in btw games. A 7 games series last like 12 days or more.

Shut up and ball. Dead ass.
