To help players, like Kawhi playing 46 minutes, the NBA may try target scores for OT

“Wait a minute, you gonna make $70M and you can’t play basketball 3 or 4 days a week?’… They fly private. They got the best medical stuff ever created… People working in the steel mill every day, I’m pretty sure they tired too, but they go to work every day.”
-Charles Barkley

In a time where the fastest paced team in the league would be near dead last in pace in today’s game.

It’s also weird to chose Barkley, when after he hit his 30’s he had only one season where he played more than 70 games(71 to be exact, one time), and averaged around what the top 20 in mpg today average. So he played about the same minutes in his 30’s as the top 20 today in mpg today, missed at least a dozen games on average, but with less pace and fewer possessions per game.

Thought this was the BEE tbh. It’s hilarious they used Kawhi as their example Bc he’s been a huge time management bitch the last 4 years.

NBA is a joke of a league

Bunch of pansies. Shits unwatchable.

Stop watching the NBA...Adam Silver is the worst commissioner in the history of professional sports in America.

The horror of getting paid millions to play a game for less than an hour every other night or so.

I just don't understand society's constant and unyielding attempt to try to FIX EVERYTHING even when nothing needs fixing. You see it every.single.offseason in colelge football with tweaking rules just a hair here and there. Yearly! How can you tell me that there is enough of a problem wiht the way the sport operates that it needs rule changes every 12 months? These people are just solving "problems" that don't actually even exist, simply so they can point and say "look what I did!"

I mean the audacity to claim that a fricking professional athlete jogging for 46 minutes over a couple hour span is a problem that needs fixing is an insult.

Decreasing total games seems to be what makes the most sense but owners will be giving up revenue. I could see this being a give/take in the next CBA. Players give up like 0.5% of revenue to decrease games.
