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.
