I feel like 82 games are fine, just have to eliminate back-to-back games. and just make the all-star event in one day (3pt, dunk, all-star game)

I'd be fine with 50 or 60 regular season games. Would make 1st round 5 games again.

The only downsides would be less time to recover from injuries and building cohesion.

82 games Is ok.. Those guys make millions. Stop spoile them. Also, You can build chemistry in 82 games...
you think Boston could look like they are today with 60 games this season? The answer is no.
This game is trying to change everything. Stop that and let use enjoy basketball the right way, the simple way.

it seems that the bally sports app streaming thingy is going to cost the same price as netflix

20 bucks a month. i dont know if it will be worth it since i only watch the heat and stopped being a marlin and a panther fan ages ago

in this economy the price of streaming is quite steep for me. decisions decisions. i will probly bite but not sure right now. the sweet spot would have been 10-12 bucks a month

Sooo...what are the chances Miami played an entire half (or more) on a basket in Boston that was a 2-3 inches over 10 feet?

Deflate gate vibes for anyone else?

It affects records on all stats. It will make Lebron’s all time scoring title untouchable.

But at the same time, theyre trying to make sure everyones ticket counts. That when you buy a ticket, the player they wanted to see will be available to play. No load management games. Im sure this will be discussed in the cba. There will be heavy fines that comes with just taking a game off because your pinky hurts.

Its sad because the NBA is catering a new generation of players.. Kobe in his prime was always aware with a mindset like “these charlotte hornets fans bought their ticket to see me, not the hornets”.

It will be interesting to see how the Heat’s conditioning program adjusts with players having more nights off.. theyll probably ramp it up by a percentage to make sure theyre all meetint the criteria.

If warriors lose tonight it’s over… small ball getting exposed

Vertical Limit · Post #170 » by **Vertical Limit** » Sat Jun 11, 2022 12:45 am

Warriors are starting Porter over Looney.. going small ball… kerr trying to use the Heat playbook, in the worst possible way..

It aint about going small or big.. its the attitude.. if they arent out there Ready to rough it up with the celtics.. theyre losing this game

Why Kerr took Klay out for Steph boggles the mind.....he should've taken Bejlecia out. Now BOS back on a run again....

Celts choked that one lol. Good to see.

I would take a 32 year old Jimmy Buckets over Jayson Tatum any time, any day of the week.

Iggy is basically UD at this point. 38 is pretty old in dog years.

Curry has never beaten a healthy team in the finals before without being the beta. No KD to bail him out this time.

Meanwhile, Boston is battle tested and has the best defense in the entire league - miles ahead of anything the Mavericks, Grizzlies, and Nuggets threw at them.

Warriors likely come back and win the next one, but I think Boston takes two (2) straight in beantown and close it out in 6.

the 3s Curry is hitting in this year's Finals are pure madness

GOAT shooter we've ever seen and we'll probably never going to see one better than him in our life time. Book it booki
