  1. 82 games is simply too much for these athletes. I’m probably in the minority but don’t have a problem with “load management” given the length of season and amount of dollars at stake with players.

  2. 82 games? The Pacers and Thunder both played 105 games this season.

    I understand the money in the NBA Playoffs, but maybe they should reconsider the old system: 3 games first round, 5 games second round, 7 games conference and league finals, with more recovery time between each series.

  3. The best season the NBA has had in a long time was the approximately 58 game season in the late 90s due to the players strike. Every game essentially meant something. 82 games is simply too many. Same for the NHL and MLB The NFL has 17 games. Any guess why football is so popular?
