    nba is the worst product in sports

    Every game is like capping a bowl game

    motivation angle

    its a shame

    season should be cut in half

    playoffs should be top 8 teams , not 16

    every game in regular season

    is like capping the alamo bowl

    tv deal just make it worse

    millions of dollars giving to babies still living in cribs

    and it’s my favorite sport

    it’s why I stay in college

    Not over paid

    Adam silver just great at his job

    they bring in the money

    tell it to fans

    who pay $1000 to take kids

    who quit

    parking

    food

    fake shirts

    and quit

    nothing but a bunch of Vegas Dave’s

    Does nobody mention how the first 3 quarters mean absolutely nothing, all that matters is 4Q where half the time a team comes from 15 down to be tied with 2 mins left?

    That’s why it is the worst sport. Not to mention barely any upsets, always a super stacked team.

    He really did. I think the league is getting better though. Some bad basketball in a few series, but the 2nd round should be great.

    Well you can always watch college where teams score once every 3 minutes and seeing a sick crossover might happen once every 3-4 games. GL with that.

    This will NEVER happen, but it is a surefire fix.

    2 tiered league, with top 1/2 playing for the chip and bottom half playing for spots to move up.
    Conversely, teams from bottom of top tier move down.

    And of course, cut some GD games. BINGO. All games matter.

    Only sport where they talk about free agent summers TWO SUMMERS AHEAD.

    When it comes to relevancy, storylines, drama etc the NBA is undefeated.

    On court though, they need to find a way to eliminate flopping. That is just annoying to watch. Play the damn game.

    But everything else is consumer friendly to the max. Curry & harden are literally playing 2k w/ rookie settings. You got guys jumping out the gym. Giannis??? KD? Idk man it’s some legendary shot going on here fellas

    All these young guys coming in are scary good too. So much to look forward to

    Donovan Mitchell is scary good. Booker. Tatum. Trae Young. Luka. Shai Gilgeous is fun to watch

    Zion coming in. Machine keeps turning

    Prefer best of 7. 5 games too short of a sample.

    BOSTON (AP) -- NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says he would consider shortening the regular season, but only if the league could develop something meaningful to do to replace the games - and revenue - they would be giving up.Speaking at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference on Friday, Silver raised the idea of replacing the All-Star Game with a midseason or preseason tournament in which teams would compete for a separate championship, like they do in European soccer. Or groups of teams could compete in mini-tournaments in Asia or Europe.The problem, Silver said, is how to make these other events meaningful."The All-Star Game didn't work," he said, calling it "an afterthought" of the weekend despite changes like tinkering with the rosters through a player draft that was made public for the first time. "I get it. We put an earring on a pig."The league is unlikely to make any changes - at least not any time soon - if only because a 70-game schedule like the one Silver discussed would require each team to give up six home games. Although players and coaches would love to see a shorter season, none is excited about taking a 20 percent pay cut.
