Intervention Needed
No point arguing with the guy who thinks UConn isn’t a blue-blood and soccer
isn’t a sport. It’s like arguing with a flat-earther.

The NBA needs to shorten its regular season. Here is one idea: eliminate

They won’t, because they have no desire to lower league revenue, so it’s a pointless discussion.

I'm not sure that cutting 11 games would reduce revenue much, given the

Sometimes less is more, and the NBA regular season is Exhibit A.

Oh word? The 2020-2021 NBA season was 72 games. Do you think fans were locked in cause they chopped off 10 games?

Not for revenue. Less games = less tickets/concessions/etc. And, more importantly, it means less $ from TV contracts

I understand this point, but where does it end? Why not 100 games then, instead
Japan Coug

If the players would agree to it, the owners would do 100 tomorrow. They’d do 150 tomorrow.

The players should hold out for 71 then. Sounds like they care more about the

Load management has never lowered the cost of season tickets.

But it does reduce demand, and attendance, and viewership, and therefore revenue

Um, NBA teams are having no issues selling season tickets. Seems demand is fine.

This would solve the problem of player contracts getting out of hand.

They should play everyone 4 times. 116 games.

It’s a good idea, but like others have said, it will never happen.

Just play everyone home and away. Top 16 qualify for playoffs

58 games? Like Adam Silver would say yes to that

This is the problem with this idea — it's a non-starter.

What they really need is lower the amount of teams making playoffs

I actually think it needs to be longer and I propose merging with the WNBA

I don’t know why they have the WNBA- they should just have one league. All

Honestly they’re bad ideas. All it will do is lower revenue and won’t fix what you perceive as problems the nba has.

If the league expands to 32 teams, maybe adding a team in Seattle and somewhere

Yes, the NBA regular season is bad, and has gotten worse over time.

To the point of complete failure? That doesn't seem anywhere near correct.

Semantics. But the NBA regular season is pretty awful.

Just get rid of the preseason and give more time between games.
