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)
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.
