58 would be good and would shorten the season
Should the NBA reduce the number of games for a season from 82 to 58 ?

#3Yes without a doubt
Rudy kinda hinted above that the regular season is almost meaningless in the NBA anyhow so again, yes eliminate some games.Comment -

#1070 games for nba and baseball should be from 100-120 at the most, 162 boring games is absurd but we know the owners love it since it means a ton more moneyComment -

#11Should increase it to 86. Play each team in conference four times and each team out of conference twice. More games to bet and more money to earn for everyone. Only reason to be against that would be if you want more time of nothing but guys sitting around talking on the local Fox Sports.Comment -

#20Reduce the teams and keep the 82. All these front runners want to do is team up 3-4 all stars a squad. Cut:
Hornets
Pelicans
TWolves
Grizzlies
Hawks
Nets
Then merge.
Hornets/Magic.
Pelicans/Lakers.
Wolves/Bulls.
Grizzlies/University of Memphis.
Hawks/Magic.
Nets/Knicks.Comment -

#21No, don't fix it if it isn't broken.. Players need to play. Injuries will still happen even with less games.
NBA and owners couldn't take the revenue cut with less games and you just know all the players would biiitch and moan when their paychecks are then cut in half..
NOT HAPPENING....Comment -

#22Fix the fukking teams that don't have anyone...
And force the teams that are loaded... to give up players.
Season would be quite interesting if teams weren't LOADED.
82 games is fine with me.
Honestly... Silver blowing smoke. Wouldn't risk imploding the NBA by halfway season Champion or any other BS.Comment -

#23Get rid of all of the shitty teams. Get the league down to 8 Super teams and let them play each other 6 times each season. (3 home and 3 away).
Top four teams make the playoffs and they play Best of 5 in the Semis and best of 7 in the finals.
This would actually make it watchable.
The team with the worst record in the league each year has to move to a new city.Comment -

#26Need to find a way to split the season into 2 halves like they did in the 1981 strike season. Would potentially spark interest in teams that would be clearly out of the race halfway through the season.Comment -

#28Though it would shorten the number of games, i still feel like the league would drag out the time in between games, and the post season. We would then probably end up with a season that runs from nov through the end of may.Comment -

#30Damn right, blows my mind how everyone talks about fatigue. Some us mfers do real work for 8+ hours a day for 5+ days a week. Playing basketball is not hard work!! Some of us do it for fun after completing our real jobs!!Comment -

#31No they shouldn’t, some of us like it way more than nba or nfl and it would suck if the season was almost over. Part of the reason winning a championship is hard is because it hard to sustain success for 162 games.Comment -

#32Why would they do that? That's like asking Hollywood to not release as many crappy movies. They want to make money even though they're scared to call themselves "owners".Comment -
