58 game season is the way to go. Everybody plays each other twice during the regular season (home & away).

Introduce a cup tournament (no seeds / conference shyt... just pick names out of a hat) with the final played during the all star break.

Keep the playoffs as it is.

I dare you man to tell me this wouldn't be lit. :mjpls:
I like the number 82. I was born with it. I was reared with it. I embrace it.

But I do like round robin format. :ehh:

And a cup tournament as well.

They should keep extending the season like they did this year. Still 82 games but over more days. I saw someone mention having mini series against teams, like how they do in baseball. That could be dope & up the mid season excitement, if they can figure out how to make it work :ehh:

I've always been of the belief that less games would let the league as a whole grow even more. Right now if you're an NBA junkie and you're the type that wants to watch every team of your game it doesn't leave you much time to watch other teams. If teams had 20 or 30 less games then that'd leave more times for people to watch teams outside of their own and become fans of more players on other teams. Plus theoretically with less games players would go hard more often. Quality of play should go up.

OK, tell those players to give up 10 game checks and owners will listen

Are you willing to have NBA teams not play everyone? Series in season aren’t practical. At best you’ll get a home & home set

That season had back to back to backs, injuries galore and major fatigue.

All the while, everyone whined for 2 months because there was no hoops
I disagree with this especially. That season was the birth of basketball being a year round sport instead of vanishing for a few months. That was the first year everyone began following the various players as they popped up in various rec leagues and games around the country. All those Dyckman, Rucker, and Drew League games where like 3-4 NBA players would show up and be on either side going at each other was must watch. It made the hype for the league coming back just that much greater.

Now THAT would be dope..... And would cut down on travel.

Someone should pitch this to the Owners and Players. But they'd have to change up the schedule math

Best of 3 between division teams twice (other 4 teams) = 24 games
Best of 3 games between remaining same conference teams twice (other 10 teams) = 60 games
1 game on the road between other conference teams (15 other teams) = 15 games

That's 99 games. :ehh:

OR....................

Best of 3 between division teams twice (other 4 teams) = 24 games
2 game home and home games between remaining same conference teams twice (other 10 teams) = 40 games
1 game on the road between other conference teams (15 other teams) = 15 games

that's 79 games :patrice: (Networks won't like that though)
