I wonder if the season has gotten too long now that they've expanded the playoffs plus added play in games. At least the most immediately fixable idea, in my opinion, is having even just a little common sense with scheduling. These guys constantly play back to back days of road games and in some cases 3.

Ehh..it may be too long for guys these days but again what changed? Year round ball from the time these guys are 6?

Yeah, stars totally weren't hurt (or didn't load manage), except when they were (did). How many years do you think Larry Bird played 82 regular season games? At least 80 games? How about Magic? How do you think the Spurs got Tim Duncan?

Bird averaged 80 games a year until he was 32 and the back went. Magic was between 70-80 most of this career The Admiral about the same minus the 1 year.

Now go look up Luka and Kyrie's game played.

So, you're saying they each got hurt? I don't disagree whatsoever.

Jamal throwing up bricks early

Gotcha.. I'm saying today's players in all sport seem to be injured more frequently. I blame youth sports.

Denver doubling Edwards is destroying the Wolves offense. Need to get Goebert out of there or this game will be over early.

KC_Connection 05-19-2024 06:51 PM

Here comes Jamal

I know the nba claims that schedule density and travel dont play a role with injuries but I just don't buy it. It feels like am excuse for the nba to keep milking money and push nba teams to stop load management. I think it's more that these things make the regular season a longer grind even with minutes management that really start to hit hard in the playoffs. I wonder if all the load management restrictions this season also meant these players played more minutes than in recent seasons.

Wouldn’t have predicted KAT saving this team with big shots while Edwards no shows but we will see what the 2nd half brings

KC_Connection 05-19-2024 07:06 PM

Braun has gotta play over Porter the way he’s playing right now

RealSNR 05-19-2024 07:14 PM

Denver is better defensively tonight. Wolves needed some hot shooting to get this game and nobody is doing jack shit.

Was a nice season. If Conley retires we’re probably back to one round and done in the playoffs

Another thrilling spectacle from the National Blowout Association.
