You think 82 games is the correct amount to pick 16 playoff teams from a pool of 30?

Yep. We all do.

 

[calamity]

Yep. We all do.

I'd do away with the back to back games.

They are never intentional, it's all about scheduling.

To me, it adds a dimension.

 

[Crovax]

Yep. We all do.

Who is we all. Nearly everyone says it's too long but we know it can't change because of the money

Bill Simmons' explanation for why the NBA season is too long also explains why star players do not play in some games

82 games is not the same as it used to be.

Well, I'm a guy who agrees with the meme: basketball and hockey don't matter in any month with an "R" in it.

Fans always want to see one or both teams that flew in late the night before with tired legs or with players sitting out.

Three weeks tonight DH. Nets 3 looks limp compared to that of the Lakers and other elite teams.

Imagine the WNBA using the same-sized ball as the NBA. And my fave, NBA playoffs like this past year finishing mid to late July. They owned it.

That reminds me. I should go take a quick look-see to find out what's going on in the Baisbal.

@Bucky is happy. I’m pulling for Seattle. Sky upsetting the Sun.

I see it happening. Neither the Bosox or Blue Jays wants to win right now.

Catfight continues in Philly.

Embiid: Simmons situation 'disrespectful' to team

Joel Embiid pushed back on a report about Ben Simmons' grievance with how the Sixers have built their team and called the entire situation "disappointing."

www.espn.com

"It was kind of surprising to see," Embiid said of the report. "We'll say that, even going back to the reason we signed Al. We got rid of Jimmy, which I still think it was a mistake, just to make sure [Simmons] needed the ball in his hands. That's the decision they made. Like I said, it is surprising."

 

[Linc]

Schedules make a difference in every sport, as we’re seeing in the NFL. The Lakers begin with 12 of their first 15 at home, with only 2 back-to-back.

Ben Simmons the one star player in the entire history of the sport afraid to shoot.

Also, it is reported the Nets had a deal to trade Kyrie to Phili for Ben Simmons but Kevin Durants nixed the deal.

Irving is fine. His teammates love him.

I don't know. Simmons would be a good fit with KD. He don't shoot and doesn't want the ball in the 4th quarter. Perfect!

Imo, the Warriors are gonna run the Lakers off the floor tonight. But even if they don't, the old boys are gonna have to start load management in their second game. They are not only old, they are defensively weak.
