    A freaking week off for these guys. The inmates run the asylum in the NBA.

    These guys are not near as tough as the warriors that played the game in the 80's. In the same breath, I do get to catch up on my college basketball, and NHL.

      No kidding. What's with the three days off next week, and then only two games to start, then a full card on Friday. Nice schedule. LOL.

          Thursdays are always light nights because they are TNT nights, note just the one game tonight (I know there are usually at least two for TNT doubleheader). So last full card was really last night (Wednesday) and next full card is next Friday, so, so most teams get more than a week.

                        Week off is reasonable... 82 games, back-to backs, 3 games in 4 nights, travel. That's why lebron took 2 weeks off this year. He could have played... But the wear and tear the last 4 seasons/playoffs.

                          I get the wear and tear aspect but why not just compact the league and knock out 3/5 worthless franchises, shorten the reg and postseason a bit, and let college kids play in summer international b.s.? Why won't they? All about $$ even if making those changes would give a better product they don't care. The guys who run these leagues and franchises these days are same type of dirty rats stealing who run banks and wall st. They would whore out their mothers if you cut them a big enough check! Sad but true

                            Murphy get with the times. Sports is all money now. This is why players getting free agency ruined sports.

                              why do you guys care?

                              it sounds like most of you dont like the NBA so what difference does it make how long they have off?

                              tonights game should be a dandy if you are a NBA fan its essentially a preview of the NBA East Finals

                                        Good post.

                                        In sports you must decide are you a fanboy or are you a sports investor.

                                        You cannot be both.

                                        I'll leave the cheerleading and the jock sniffing to the women.

                                        The only team i will root for is the team i have money on.

                                        Something every fan boy needs to realize is at the end of the day these players dont give a fukk about you.
                                        If your favorite teams wins the championship are the players going to invite you to celebrate with them or share any of the wealth?

                                        no.

                                        the answer is fukk no.

                                        Its a eat what you kill world.

                                          It's only 2 more days than the usual. Not as much of a difference as some people make it out to be.

                                                They deserve it. These guys have sacrificed everything to play ball. They have families, friends, and people they want to see like you and I. Let them rest with families and enjoy their "Grammys."

                                                  Stevy I wouldn't go that far. Most of these guys don't play in plenty of regular season games as it is. Nba is really becoming bad to watch

                                                    The thing about the NBA is its actually really fun to watch in person.

                                                      Makes no sense. You could use those extra days to cut down on the back to backs.

                                                            That's why I could care less about the playoffs. Too long and overlapping with the start of another sport.

                                                              You fackers insane or what talking about how hard these fuckers work and have to travel... theres a billion people who would switch heir job for this. I work 8 hours a day 5 days a week.. shit i missed my families everyday and making what this fuckers make in one day for my entire years work. These tbugs complain about working 82 days a season. Mother fuckers work 4 hoirs a day max.. if you miss your family while traveling theres ipad. Im sure these mother fockers dont want their families hanging around them every second cuz i sure dont. Fuckers got some talents and made good money and now they complaining.. go flip burgers and see how much you really missed hour families.
