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

[DetroitEWarren]

So you don't watch 70+ games of one team a year?

I definitely do that and I'm pretty sure most of the nikkas here who love the sport are close to that. Especially the nikkas working mornings and on chill during b ball hours.

Playoffs are 2 months as it is. Way too long. Cant change the time off unless we eliminate a round or go back to best of 5

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.

Yep, one reason why guys from that era had shorter careers/didn't play as long.

Players GET HURT MORE with all the rest in between games. Players are getting hurt at rates that were unheard of, and most of the time it's not coming from twisting a leg or ackward landings, shyt is coming from simple ass steps taken. Tatum injury was a regular ass aggressive step. Djonte Murray also, regular ass step forward.

So many hamstrings and Achilles and shyt. I'm starting to think all the on the court off the court on the court off the court constantly is irritating nikkas ligaments.

fukk that shyt. nikkas need to play more and stop acting like bytches.

Youre right, they treat regular season like open gym, 30 mins a night and resting 10-15 games, then flipping a switch and going all out now isnt good for the body

Not a bad thing everyone didnt last 15-20 years

 

[MoshpitMazi]

I don't agree

Its been talked about by former nba players. These guys arent pushed hard enough in camps and practices to be used to the grind of the season

 

[T.he I.nformant]

He’s right tho.

Why wouldn't you watch your favorite team multiple times a week

Its like any other TV show

[Jplaya2023]

Thats on CBS. Nba wasnt on tape delsy so they had to work with the stations on scheduling

 

[Jplaya2023]

Hell look at how the finals schedule is. Its basically 3 weeks with games every 2 days except for like games 3 and 4

And over in the Eastern Conference, Game 3 was played May 18, Game 4 was played May 19.

[Buckeye Fever]

Bron, Curry, and other players in their age group earned the right to save themselves during the regular season because they got MILES on them, but these 20-somethin' dudes on that load management shít get the

That's why out of the young players, I'm a huge Anthony fan.

Wemby gets a pass because how abnormally tall he is and he is recovering from blood clots.

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

This beer belly balkan looks like my mechanic in Brighton Beach, and he has the 2nd all-time ppg average in NBA history:
