2016 NBA Season Notes/Info

Man, I really hope this resting players thing causes the NBA to cut 20 games from the schedule.

Nah, one way to eliminate 'resting' would be do a 2 weeks break between regular season and the playoffs.



That way I believe star players would play every single regular season games.

I dont see that. Just because you give people more time off between games wont eliminate rest, they still have to play 82 games. Rest is about limiting the minutes played in a season more than anything.

Yeah but if at the end of the regular season you're given 2 weeks to recuperate, you can't tell me that isn't enough to get you healthy & ready for playoffs for most players.

That would be terrible though. No one wants to wait 2 weeks of no basketball before the playoffs start.
 
Also if you have the 2 weeks gap before the playoffs, you can strongly enforce the 'no rest' policy because now teams have no excuse for resting players for the playoffs (i.e., because they would have an official 'rest' period after the regular season).

They should expand the playoffs.

Add 4 new 3 game series for seeds 7-10. Top 6 seeds get a holiday, bottom 5 go to the lottery.

It's better than putting ads on the jerseys
