They have to shorten the season. 78 games is a half measure tho, you gotta go down to 72.

If they cut games players better not start complaining

 

[Nero Christ]

they need to reconsider showing so many games per week because that's the problem...you got 3 straight days of doubleheaders now a days

cut that down to just the TNT thursday games (that's the best presentation of the product the NBA has) and an ESPN/ABC game of the week

also, bring back some of the defensive rules to slow the game down a bit because the pace of the game is clearly taking a toll on players.

too much of the shyt being proposed comes off as bandaids on severed limbs

Prime time games are not why load management exists. It's the b2bs and 3 games in 4 days.

Kings started the season 0-5 and still have a better record than the Thunder, Blazers, Spurs, and Warriors.

that point was in regards to ratings not load management

All of which have been heavily reduced. Yet we now have 20 year old rookies on load management plans now


If they cut games, it only increases the incentive to sit out

Now when they skip a game, they get 4 extra days off instead of 2.

Content is content. They won't stop showing live basketball at the rate that they do. They don't wanna show anything else. You really think they wanna air more World Series of Poker instead of a live game?

That KD tax worse than clutch tax washed ass DJ and Kyrie who keeps getting away with being an ass. It was probably worth it but it ain’t as much of a sure thing as it originally felt

I'm sure the Nets wished they could've kept DLo and simply added KD to the mix

I know Kawhi wanted to go home but I wish he still played with the Raptors as I think they're the better team.

The Clippers may have more dynamic one on one scorers with PG and Lou but as a whole the Raptors are a better team IMO.

The Clippers lack the traditional playmaking point guards in Lowry & VanVleet who control the pace and manage the game which makes Kawhi's job more difficult. Nonetheless we're currently seeing an uptick in his turnovers as he has to carry a larger role. He's averaging a career high 4.2 turnovers per game this season, up from a previous high of 2 per game).

As shown by their 12th ranked offensive rating, this Clippers team simply struggles to get decent shots outside of Kawhi/PG/Lou ISOS or Lou/Harrell PNRs.

Gasol's playmaking ability also added another wrinkle towards how you have to defend the Raptors. As crazy as it sounds, as a number 2, I would rather have Siakam over PG13. In a playoff setting bigs are more valuable. We've seen PG13 get off to hot starts but struggle to maintain it as the season progresses. PG becomes more of a jump shooter & I think Siakam's offense is likely to be more consistent come playoff time.

I get where you're coming from but we're not even close to being a finished product yet. This is only the 2nd game Kawhi and PG have played together and the team hasn't really even practiced together yet. Plus Landry Shamet is out and we might even add another big to the team. We'll be much improved offensively come All Star break
