Steve Kerr “Very Concerned” Pace of Play And Condensed Schedule Leading To Increased Injuries

[lib123]

How many people have to come out and say this? Everyone knows

But they let those dumbass “back in my day” nikkas influence everything from load management/CBA deals to the all star games. Stupid fukking league bends its knee to naysayers constantly.

No they bend its knee to money. Most of these problems would be solved with a 50 game season but they won’t do that.

remove b2bs...

but NBA season should be 87 games.. ( every team vs every team 3 times).. kill preseason.. stretch season a bit to remove b2bs and add the 5 games ... then take top 16 to playoffs .

meh make it 20

This post reminded me of the outlandish number of players on a CFB roster

It makes me remember some players from the late 2000s early 2010s NCAA football on PS3. I think ohio state had some white/italiain defensive back that wore #16. Last name was Dominicone or somethin' like that. Don't remember a single play of his in real life, but I used him on the field in the game

His definition of “star player” includes LeBron, Kawhi, Lilliard, George, Derozan, etc…

All them nikkas are 35+

I'm no expert but I've been saying the same thing for awhile now. The game just looks completely different from 90s basketball. Everybody is running fast breaks every chance they get, guarding intensly full court every possession, chasing motherfukkers around screens...and just running back and forth as fast as they can and jumping up and down as high as they can the whole time they're in the game. The body aint meant to do HIIT crossfit workouts for 82 games. They gonna need to expand rosters.

even if you increase roster sizes are coaches going to play more players or just play their 9 guys?

NBA today has 15 roster spots + 3 two way who you can use for 50 games. I think teams have done better at expanding rotations but some coaches still really only play like 9 guys real minutes

He's right and it's an issue across sports in general.

and dudes will still get hurt and people will keep complaining

Silver has already given them a full week off for ASG (It used to be the ASG was Sunday and you played on Tue or Wed)

Silver has already eliminated alot of B2B already The season starts earlier which means games are sttetched out more

Does Kerr want tyese guys to play once a fukkin week?

Breaking News - "Playing sports increases your chance of injuries. More at 11 "


Steve can always coach his team to play a slower pace. You know actually coach and make adjustments. What a crazy idea eh.

Steve comew from an era where the bulls would play the knicks a saturday for 3 and then sunday for a game 4 in the second round of the playoffs.

Steve sounding mad "soft" now

Well gee who would've figured it out that playing sports increases chances of injuries

On top of this, start the season on Christmas. You play a max of 3 games per week no B2B ever. You play longer.home and road stands, like 10 straight games at home, 10 straight on the road
