:what: people complaining about too much basketball 2 days after the season starts

:beli: Cut it from 82 to 78 like it'll make a huge difference.



it's been too much for a long time! I want higher intensity like the NFL where losing a few games is a problem. You even gotta be relatively on point in the college game to get in the tourney. most teams try to win 3/4 division games and are calculated.

and baseball needs to shorten things up too....but it is an american excuse to day drink so I understand whey that have sooooo many games.

There's a reason there are only 16 games in the NFL though, and it's not to increase the intensity.

There's nothing wrong with back-to-backs; they only have one per week. These players don't want practice, they don't want to play hard, they don't want to play every game, they don't want to play vs every team, they want all of the best players to be on one team so that they can run through the league...this ish is ridiculous. They talk about becoming free agents right after joining a new team. Take better care of your body in the offseason. You never played basketball for 2hrs straight, 2-days in a row? N!ggas still do that for fun. Stop complaining.

That's a lot of travel and wear and tear. Not enough coaches out there protecting their players like Pops. And we seen how y'all criticized him when he does.

But Duncan been in the league 17 years. He's earned the right to rest, really just started over last few years. Dudes been in the league 5-7 years talking they need to rest up for playoffs. A coach can manage your minutes.
