The playoffs are going to be so tough to watch. We might actually lose every game by 20+
Probably end up playing the Rockets in the first round who also looks like a train wreck, so we got that going lol
Can you imagine how badly they are going to out rebound us without Luka? We are so cooked lol.
crazy how oblique injuries are so common now. i don’t remember them ever happening before ~2 years ago. maybe they were just called something else?
Injuries in general seem like they’re at an all time high. When I started watching basketball as a kid, playing 82 games was almost the norm.
Coincidentally, Thinking Basketball just posted a video about players playing fewer games. He thinks it is because players are running around the court more and having to make more sudden changes in direction, putting too much wear on their legs.
With the Mid-Season tournament and Play-In round, teams are playing more games without extending the season, leading to more back to back games. Players are not getting a chance to rest minor injuries before they get worse. In general, the scheduling seems so bad. One week a team will play 5 road games then the next week they will have 1 game, at home. I don’t like the fact that most back to back games tend to be away games. If the league needs to schedule back to backs, they should be home stands. A team should not be spending the few hours they get off between games traveling.
As for players not playing 82 games anymore, I think it has less to do with players not being able to play and more with teams realizing that it is better to get a couple less wins in the regular season than to enter the playoffs with an exhausted superstar.
