Like I said earlier, completely depends on how substantial the decrease in games is.

66 worked more than okay last year and I could see an argument for even less.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

But the season IS too long though. Outside of the true hardcore fans, everyone agrees with that. Baseball is the same way, they both need to be shortened because it drags on too long.

The playoffs also need to be shortened.

Yep, and I think a 5 game series would be fine.

Say there are about 11-12 games played a month, NBA season is what, 7 months I think?

Take two months off of that, cut it down to 60 or so?

I think you could cut a whole round off the playoffs to be honest. Or at least make the first round best of 3 or something. Basketball and hockey are the only sports where OVER FIFTY PERCENT of teams make the playoffs.

Yeah. I think you could play every team in the league twice, plus your 4 division rivals a third time. 62 games total if my math adds up.

if ALL the playoff games went to game 7 they wouldnt end until like july. the playoffs for sure need to be shortened. 5 games and finals could be 7. im all for 66 games a season tho.

we had 5 game first round series before, which totally made sense, but they got rid of it for a reason.
the format of the playoffs as well as the regular season isn't gonna change anytime soon.

I always felt like they got rid of it to protect the higher seeds. Well that and making more money of course.

13 total players

starters are locked. CP/Kobe/Durant/Blake/Dwight

2 backup guards: Parker and Westbrook
3 front court: ZBo, David Lee, and Duncan

3 more players. Stephen, James, OJ


LaMarcus, Damian and Love are just outside perhaps. maybe Love replaces OJ or Harden?
