    Liberals in the Media are Protecting Adam Silver Even Though he Butchered the Season

    Everyone knew injuries would likely be an issue with a record short turn around after the pandemic changed the schedule in 2020.

    This complete moron, who runs a league that is a monopoly, has basically completely destroyed the season by played an absurd 73 game schedule. The schedule in the NBA has been 82 games for over 25 years, 25 years ago the league was a mostly slow tempo league where games were frequently in the 90s. Now basketball is much faster and tougher on players bodies, and to try and play a 73 game schedule was an obvious mistake.

    The NHL played a 55 game schedule and they have had no significant issues with injuries, this moron wanted a 73 game schedule, and their product has basically been destroyed. This was not hard to predict, the NBA has had a lot of issues with injuries in the playoffs the last several years within a normal offseason between seasons, as we saw with the Raptors Warriors finals.

    Adam Silver is a moron who has done nothing to stop super teams from significantly hurting the competitive balance in the league, he’s done nothing about many bad teams being unable to get better in the draft because of the one and done rules not requiring players to play at least 2 years in college.

    The nhl has not had 1 significant injury in the playoffs even though hockey is a much more physical sport than basketball. Solve butchered the season, and because the nba was greedy and silver as a moron they league tried to play an absurd 73 games even after a record short offseason. Because Silver promotes left wing causes many in the media are protecting him.

    3 players opted into the Olympics, that means nothing. Lebron is the only one who’s has spoke out but he’s far from the only one who dealt with injuries. Injuries have been an issue in almost every series in this years playoffs you dumb shit, buy a tv.

    NBA contracts are guaranteed. Players are still receiving full pay being injured.

    this is exactly why morino is such a loser.

    concentrate more on your handicapping and less on your politics.

    morino can't see the forest for the trees.

    Divencenzo their starting shooting guard is out for the year for the Bucks dumb shit. Atlanta didn’t make the playoffs last year, they didn’t play deep, and they are one of the youngest teams in the league.

    Morino - I think Silver demanded the games in order to ensure they didn't lose TV money. If they would have shortened the season, the TV contracts would have been effected and none of them would have gotten paid. The NBA had already lost a shit load of money last year in the bubble. He was trying to make some of it back up.

    I'm not so sure it was the 73 game season that led to the injuries but it's an interesting topic. Teams were using load management to keep players fresh. I think a lot of these guys are just not very committed to hitting the weights, which usually leads to injuries. Kyrie, Harden, Durant, Anthony Davis, Reddish and Devincenzo all are not committed to their bodies. Also, a lot of the injuries were just freak type injuries, guys rolling up on peeps. A bigger issue could be the down time because of the pandemic. I've seen a big uptick in young kids getting injured in AAU and they are not playing any more games than usual. They are just not in the best of shape after a year of hell. Also, we have been lax in requiring kids to wear ankle braces, tape and knee pads. Hell, I'm seeing a lot of NBA players playing in low tops. WTF??? End of the day, follow the money.
