Well considering they are resting healthy players I think they are overpaid. Your are correct they make tons of money

**JIBBBY** · 04-22-19, 10:21 PM

Not for betting...

**jjgold** · 04-22-19, 10:33 PM

All the major sports except the national football league schedules are too big

**jtoler** · 04-22-19, 10:36 PM

That I can agree with as a fan. Betting I hope not..

**eaglesfan371** · 04-22-19, 11:12 PM

Does nobody mention how the first 3 quarters mean absolutely nothing, all that matters is 4Q where half the time a team comes from 15 down to be tied with 2 mins left?

That’s why it is the worst sport. Not to mention barely any upsets, always a super stacked team.

He really did. I think the league is getting better though. Some bad basketball in a few series, but the 2nd round should be great.

**The General** · 04-23-19, 04:09 AM

NBA and Kardashians about the same.

**Goat Milk** · 04-23-19, 05:48 AM

Well you can always watch college where teams score once every 3 minutes and seeing a sick crossover might happen once every 3-4 games. GL with that.

**jjgold** · 04-23-19, 05:59 AM

its real bad

I watch some but fall asleep

motivation angle

its a shame

season should be cut in half

playoffs should be top 8 teams , not 16

every game in regular season

is like capping the alamo bowl

tv deal just make it worse

millions of dollars giving to babies still living in cribs

and it’s my favorite sport

it’s why I stay in college

“ I get older, but they stay the same age”

dazed and confused ( MM voice)

Been saying this for years.

Sports are dead bro.

fukk it, lets watch netflix

**SamsNCharge99** · 04-23-19, 07:03 AM

playoffs taking 2 months is insane as well. 2-3 days off in b/t games. 1 day max and let's fukking play

**JIBBBY** · 04-23-19, 09:31 AM

MLB and Golf is still more boring to watch. NFL is the best.

**DOM-Ganador** · 04-23-19, 10:03 AM

This will NEVER happen, but it is a surefire fix.

2 tiered league, with top 1/2 playing for the chip and bottom half playing for spots to move up.
Conversely, teams from bottom of top tier move down.

And of course, cut some GD games. BINGO. All games matter.

**jjgold** · 04-23-19, 11:11 AM

Football and Soccer always win out

**shocka1212** · 04-23-19, 11:13 AM

the association is garbage.

**sosawestbrook** · 04-23-19, 01:35 PM

Only sport where they talk about free agent summers TWO SUMMERS AHEAD.

When it comes to relevancy, storylines, drama etc the NBA is undefeated.

On court though, they need to find a way to eliminate flopping. That is just annoying to watch. Play the damn game.

But everything else is consumer friendly to the max. Curry & harden are literally playing 2k w/ rookie settings. You got guys jumping out the gym. Giannis??? KD? Idk man it’s some legendary shot going on here fellas

**sosawestbrook** · 04-23-19, 01:53 PM

All these young guys coming in are scary good too. So much to look forward to

Donovan Mitchell is scary good. Booker. Tatum. Trae Young. Luka. Shai Gilgeous is fun to watch

Zion coming in. Machine keeps turning

**Easy-Rider 66** · 04-23-19, 01:58 PM

Draft Kings and Fanduel make it relevant LKid.

Prefer best of 7. 5 games too short of a sample.

LOL. So true. C's Indiana was so obvious they were looking to prolong the series for an extra home $$$.

BOSTON (AP) -- NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says he would consider shortening the regular season, but only if the league could develop something meaningful to do to replace the games - and revenue - they would be giving up.Speaking at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference on Friday, Silver raised the idea of replacing the All-Star Game with a midseason or preseason tournament in which teams would compete for a separate championship, like they do in European soccer. Or groups of teams could compete in mini-tournaments in Asia or Europe.The problem, Silver said, is how to make these other events meaningful."The All-Star Game didn't work," he said, calling it "an afterthought" of the weekend despite changes like tinkering with the rosters through a player draft that was made public for the first time. "I get it. We put an earring on a pig."The league is unlikely to make any changes - at least not any time soon - if only because a 70-game schedule like the one Silver discussed would require each team to give up six home games. Although players and coaches would love to see a shorter season, none is excited about taking a 20 percent pay cut.

**jjgold** · 04-23-19, 08:56 PM

I don’t know what they can do

**clockwise1965** · 04-23-19, 11:20 PM

No doubt about it

**sosawestbrook** · 04-24-19, 12:42 AM

Holy shit man are you not entertained!!! This shit is crazy
