Teams don't routinely press in the NBA for the same reasons teams don't run the option in the NFL. NBA players are too big, too fast and too skilled and they generally will eat it up and end up with tons of run out and fast break layups/dunks.

Add in the fact that it is exhausting and most teams lack the quality depth to even try it and it's just a terrible idea all the way around.

It’s like you responded to my post without actually reading it. Of course it isn’t sustainable and of course you are likely to get run out the gym.

But for a series or a few games in a series you’re about to lose? Why not give it a go? The Trailblazers for example, had nothing to lose by trying to press, they got swept either way, could’ve changed that
